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.

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

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! :)
