Broken Ankle

   / Broken Ankle #12  
UPDATE. This is a picture of my "air boot" which I have to wear whenever I am on my feet until my next appointment on June 10, 2011. Hopefully, Doc will declare me cured at that time.

Good luck. We'll hope it's cured.

And, make certain your buddy understands that there is safety in separation. I have been in the woods with a lot of people who think that they have to stand right next to me for social reasons. At least 10-15' of clearance means the same tree won't fall on both of us, we won't both fall in the same hole, and if one trips & falls he won't bring the other down with him.
And less chance of accidently gutting him with the chainsaw.

I hope everything works out and your ankle gets an A OK!

I think a message that we can take away from this is how quickly and bad a freak accident can be.

Might not even be safe at home on the couch. Might as well keep getting out there but work (play) as safe as you can.

Another message is not to delay treatment... the OP was able to crawl back to the truck and drive to an ER, but if close to home some would just drive home and think about it for a while-- maybe just twisted a little and needs some ice, beer, and R&R.
