    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

    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. :)

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

    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
