I ruined a family vacation, turkey hunting with my girls and probably fair feeder steers. Had to jump from a scaffold plank about 8’ up and broke both bones. Tibia now has plate and 7 screws. Fibia is back under the skin with another surgery in a few weeks. I can handle pain but I don’t wish that pain on anyone. [Linked Image]

Ouch.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

That sucks! Seems the older we get the longer it takes to recover. Hope you heal quickly!

That does suck. What was the circumstances that you had to jump, if you don’t mind sharing?

My parents would of said "that's what you get for being stupid, it's a long ways from your heart, and it'll feel a lot better when it quits hurting." lol I died once when I was 6 and dad just made me walk it off.

Hoping you heal up fast.

Any person with a little bit of class can plainly tell that the color of those toe nails, is frosty peach blossom.
Looks like you gonna be laid up for a bit. If you have any pain pills left over, let me know.

OKForester: I had a plank spanning from my tractor forks to the top of little giant ladder. Somehow the plank moved and ended up on top of the hinge. About 4” above the step. I realized this when I walked back out on it and felt it tipping. Tried to turn around quick but I was going over. Happened so quick I must not have got my feet lined up.

Heard the snap and felt instant pain. Yes, could have been worse and it is a long way from the heart. Character building event!

Toe nail polish? That is great! I can confirm it is Covergirl Iodine Bruise.

Two lines, gotta admit I did not even think about touching the bone. Didn’t want to scream like a little girl.... [Linked Image]
