Well of all silly things I fell yesterday and broke my leg in two places yesterday. The Doctor I saw yesterday said I needed to see a specialist today.

Well I guess if you see me answering in the relationshp or pet area you know I am getting too bored at home sitting

So sorry to hear that Chuck. Hope all goes well.

Wish you could be my nurse, I have a 3 pm appointment with the doctor who will do the operation I think, not up on bones and breaks, they were spiral breaks

I'm not too up on bones or breaks either, unless it has to do with baby shoulders. I wish I knew more, and I wish I could be your nurse as well.

Sorry to hear that Fr Chuck. If I see any post from you that are incoherent I will assume it is the pain meds!

Hopefully a cast will be all it takes.

How awful! I hope all goes well at the doctor appointment, and healing will be quick and uneventful.

Well an excuse for the poor spelling anyway, but yes, If I start telling them to run naked down the road to attack a new boy or girl friend, you will know it is the meds for sure

Chuck, your timing sucks. If you'd waited a few years Sneezy could have operated. ;)

Sorry that you're laid up. Hope you get better soon.

Get Well Soon Chuck!

See you in the pets forum :D

Hello Padre:

Bummer. My leg hurts in sympathy.

Sorry to hear Chuck but I hope everything goes well - wishing you a speedy recovery! :)

Now what were you doing when this happened?

I will be praying for you, Fr_Chuck!

Hope you heal quickly. And stay off the dance floor till your mended.

Speedy recovery, Chuck. :D

Oh, and, please, do not do what my dad did. Break the same leg again just as it was healing.

Sorry to hear Chuck but I hope everything goes well - wishing you a speedy recovery! :)

Now what were you doing when this happened?

He is a newlywed. Maybe we don't want to know! :eek:;)

His wife is a musician. Maybe he was dancing a jig. Maybe.

He also could have fallen off the altar while preaching!

Sorry girls. My mind is in the gutter and that's where it's staying. ;)

Just saw this---Yikes!

Hope the pain is bearable, Chuck.

I will keep you in my thoughts.

Well keep your mind out of the gutter ( well at least for 6 to 8 weeks)

I fell off the back of my truck when moving a wheel chair that was being taken to a handicap center.

Well Excon, light one up for me, the pain pills are not doing it right now.

LOL! Sorry Chuck, but that's really ironic.

So you broke your leg moving a wheel chair for someone, and now you need a wheel chair?

Come on, you know you want to laugh a little. ;)

Almost wrong thread territory here - endorphins are better than opiates.

Yes, I know I had two wheel chairs and a walker on the truck.
I was in a parking lot owned by a hospital. It was funny I am sure, several people saw it happen. I fell and just could not get up. When I finally did, it was bad.

To make it funnier, I could not go to be treated in that hospital because it was not on our company list for workers comp treatment

Take care Chuck. I hope you are back to normal soon.

You know I have heard of empathy before but this is a bit on the extreme side. You sure your well.. OK ?

Yes, forgot to give the doctor update, Got a cast on and all of what goes with it. Will go see if I can borrow a wheel chair tomorrow, I own 5 electric ones, none run, I have been meaning to work on them ( to sell)

Hey, Get well soon.

You should have kept the ones you were loading. ;)

I wish I could sign your cast. I hope it all heals up quickly, and then I'll give you the lecture on being more careful. :)

Virtual Cast Sign...



J9... the naughty nurse!

I'll draw a picture.

Aww, you poor thing. I'm so sorry to hear that. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Well it is so swollen today, trying to keep elevated some.

How much of a cast? Full leg or less? Plaster?

Sorry to hear that Fr_Chuck.

Hope you feel better soon! :)

Knee down to toes. Breaks were right around the ankle. Leg got twisted to the point of breaking.

It was some wrap that got hard within a few minutes, they wet the wrap and tortured me putting it on and then let it dry.

** OK they were really very professional and I am a bad patient. I was held to some frame while they did the wrap, guess to keep everything straight

Knee down to toes.
How long does it have to be on? Can you get around with crutches?

Is it fiberglass or plaster?

Even though this has happened, you seem to be in good spirit, Fr_Chuck! :)

Advice to the missus: Hide the coathangers now before the itching sets in.

And hide the cereal!

When Sydney broke her arm she had to get 3 new casts. Every time they took it off they discovered it hadn't completely healed and a new one would be put on.

She wasn't quite 2 and it was a cast that you could get wet (thank God).

Every time they took off the cast we'd find the most unusual things inside. Cheerios, a barbie shoe, plastic play coins (which left an indent for around a week afterwards), and more.

Chuck, don't go pushing cheerios into your cast, it's not good and starts to smell after around 3 days. ;)

Eww. That's funny. I baby sat a boy when I was younger with a broken leg. And man that thing stunk. Come to find out there was peas, carrots, broccoli, all the veggies he told his mom he ate!

Chuck, don't hide your veggies in the cast! ;)

All this talk about food is making me hungry.

Me too WG, but not for veggies or cereal.

Hubby took us out for a nice dinner yesterday. I had one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. It was cooked to perfection, seasoned to perfection, it was, in short, perfection! :)

I was so stuffed last night, now I'm wishing there were leftovers.

Tummy grumbling. Mamma wants meat! :)

Wrong Thread!! Wrong thread!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

We just ate food from McDonald's. I have some leftover lettuce and tomato pieces I could stuff down inside Fr_Chuck's cast.

WG, you should be eating your tomatoes and lettuce. Naughty girl. Veggies are good for you. Have you had a V8 today? ;)

And how would "cooked to perfection" be to you?

Medium rare. I like it a bit bloody. :)

Medium rare. I like it a bit bloody. :)

Me too. Except for a Filet Mignon, I like it rare.

I was raised on Middle Eastern food. We have a raw beef dish, called Kibbee Naya. I have the taste for raw beef.

Cold, red, bloody, raw. With salt and pepper with a raw onion. MMMMM...

I know e-coli... but I take my chances from time to time.

Medium rare. I like it a bit bloody. :)

Isn't it tough when it's burnt that much? I always tell the server just to lead it past the fire on the way out.

The steak I had last night was Filet Mignon. It was cooked a bit more then I'd usually like, but it was still perfection. It melted in my mouth it was that tender. Hubby had the prime rib, pretty much rare. It was good too.

I can't do raw, I'd gag. That's too much blood for me. I like it warm, tender, seasoned and nummy. It was definitely nummy.

The funny part was the kids. We usually go to Outback steak house when we have a night out, but this time we went to Steak Village. Sydney was all excited, said "We usually go to a house, this time we're going to an entire Village!" :p

:eek: No way! I like a bit of blood, not a deluge of it.

Fiberglass, I don't even go back for 6 weeks and I think they change it to another type of cast then. I can do crutches but got a wheel chair today for going to town.

And not coat hangers, the metal rod that goes in the file folder hangers, narrower and works better ( so they tell me)

And yes, except for a few legal issues over the workers comp ( going to be asking that on the legal board) but drugs and soap opera, who can ask for anything more.

Filet mignon. You could ask for filet mignon. ;)

Johnny's pizza, that was mine for today.

"All My Children" is really getting good now. "Evil Janet" has returned (she's Amanda's mom.) You and I can do PMs on the storyline!

I don't know about you but I wouldn't try that with Walmart meat or any big chain. Only with a nice local butcher that has home grown beef.

Steak TarTar anyone ?

Johnny's pizza, that was mine for today.

Never heard of it. Is it a chain or a family business?

I'm not a big fan of pizza, not to my liking. There's only ever been one pizza that I've craved. My hubby worked with a guy, East Indian fellow, his wife's parents made the most amazing pizza I've ever had.

They opened a restaurant but sadly it wasn't rent controlled. After six months the landlord doubled the rent, they couldn't afford it and had to shut down. :(

Now they live in England. No one's ever made pizza that's ever come close to this. Secret family recipe. I may have to divorce hubby and marry their son so I can get my hands on that pizza. ;)

A larger Regional, they do all hand tossed. AS one who has traveled all the US and dozes of nations, they are the best I have ever ate at. Not fancy but good.

Well believe it or not I am going back to work on Monday. I will be doing "paper work" and showing some of the younger techs how to fix things. Well going to try anyway,

Work? Chuck, you better take it easy. I don't think you're ready to go to work. You should be sitting around, leg up, relaxing and healing, eating pizza, watching soaps and posting on AMHD. That's the limit young man (said in my most strict mom voice).

Don't make me call your doctor and give him crap. You know I will.

Does your pizza place deliver? To Canada? ;)

Yes, silly you to do such a thing, Chuck, but back to work so soon. I hope you didn't go. Get well soon !

You spell better when you are in pain, Chuck.

I don't think it's the pain. I suspect it's the drugs.

Wishing you less itching and pain Chuck.

I don't think it's the pain. I suspect it's the drugs.

OMG! It's true. His spelling is better. :eek:

Chuck, it's a bit sad if your spelling is improving because of the drugs. Usually it's the opposite. ;)
