Lol! No, it's dark red....
Crap! That's the kind of nightmare I'm envisioning. I'm hoping that it isn't setting improperly in my splint.Originally Posted by KitEKats4Eva!
Oh dear...soon as I saw the title of this thread I thought, `Ok, I MUST see what he is talking about!'
You poor thing, you! My brother did that to his ankle - it was years ago and he was playing soccer. He went for the ball same time as another guy - Matt got the ball, and the other guy got him. Broke his ankle in three places. He walked around on it for the rest of the day until he could walk no longer, and it turned out that he had fractured his tibia AND fibula, one of them in two places. Then they set his ankle crookedly, which caused a fluid build-up around the breaks, which then got infected. He ended up in a wheelchair with his leg elevated for a month, and was hospitalised for two weeks. Nasty, nasty, nasty.
Of course, one is hoping that this doesn't happen to you!!!
GOOD LUCK GET WELL SOON!!
PS - the constant changing of where you live is a great source of delight to me.... www .inasplint.owwie ...

This reminded me of something. I would advise you not to watch the movie Misery. Might be too painful.Originally Posted by Loveysmummy
Also, my DD sprained her ankle a couple weeks ago and we had the pleasure of sitting in the Misery for 6 hours (6 HOURS!!!!!!!) to see a doc.

Learn something new everyday. I now have another little tidbit of information that has no meaning unless I come visit you.Originally Posted by Loveysmummy

But, since you're such a tease I'm voting that you have to wear a PINK cast...and I hope it's a nice bright fuschia shade of pink!

You only said it could start with a "P".
Think of all the sympathy you can get from women now when they see you!!

Anyway, pal..Sorry to hear about your foot! Only in this city can you break a freaking bone walking down the street!! I hate that its winter now almost overnight and all of us have to do that funny Winterpeg walk down the street. You know. The tensed up back hunched over tip toe walk. Or maybe just girls do that.
Maybe that's why you fell. You weren't walking like a girl. That's it!
Also, my DD sprained her ankle a couple weeks ago and we had the pleasure of sitting in the Misery for 6 hours (6 HOURS!!!!!!!) to see a doc. How long did you have to wait?
Get better soon buddy!! Want me to bring you some good books to read???

Ouch! That was painful even without a broken ankle...

Good thing you will probably be on pain killers. Business books are painfully boring. Though not as bad as the computer books I have sitting on the shelf.Originally Posted by Hydroaxe
By the way, I've got some business books I need to catch up on that I already bought.
Thanks.Originally Posted by katachtig

Sorry to hear about the surgery. Good luck with all of that.

(no, that doesn't sound appealing).
Cheers! (business books=stupid and boring
Let me know if you need anything bad or unhealthy for you. I'm your gal.
