Memorial day ride with the bride was beautiful. My horse startled and spun, felt my upper body was going over so bailed. Damn that landing. Looking very much like my Elk hunt the 2nd week of september is a loss. 3 lg pcs of bone and some sawdust steel plate 4 screws and bone puddy. Trying to put humpty dumpty back to geather again. Where do we buy miracles? Just venting !

Sorry to hear about that. Get well.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

My hunting partner tore his ACL and damaged his meniscus this spring doing avalanche mitigation. He had surgery on April 20, and could not bend or put any weight on his leg for 6 weeks. He is rehabbing now on the stationary bike and stretching and doing various exercises. It is severely painful, he says, but he is adamant about hunting this September. He is way ahead of his rehab schedule and has been walking for a week or two with no brace. We are fairly confident he will be able to hunt this bow season, although taking it slow and careful. It would not be possible without his full 110% dedication to rehab. Don't give up and work hard, extra hard, on your rehab and maybe, just maybe....! Good luck!

Had the staples removed yesterday 1 week after surgery. Spent 5 hrs on the leg machine. Another 8 today and got another 12 degrees of flexion today. On ice now and it starts again Tomorrow. Ill wake up and take a percocet to off set the discomfort and go for it. For the next 6 weeks. Will start the stationary bike with my right healthy foot for some cardio. No weight for 4 months on the injured leg. Doc wants the fix to be set before loading the leg. As he says we might get where were going early and that would be a blessing. His question to me whats the first thing you'll do after the fact? Ride the horses with the wife.

I broke mine on the 12 of october and was back to work on 1/1/2013. I was on crutches till last of feb the doc did not think i would get more than 110 degrees total. i pushed my pt real hard and ended up with 130 degrees. I broke the same leg a compound fracture when i was 19 I was in a cast for two years. the plateau fracture for me was a lot more painful than the compound, but healed a lot faster. The doc said i was going to be a good candidate for a knee replacement in the future. all the hardware stayed in. 18 screws and a plate.

Thanks Hammerdown, worst part of the pain has past. Do take oxycodon before the leg machine . It helps to ease past those flexion limits that I'm supposed to challange. The real pain is most likely will miss my Wyoming Elk hunt in sept. Will have to see if theres a med exemption for a refund in Wyoming.
cheers

Thanks Todd. Have to call back in the am. At least those funds can finish another project. My buddies will provide me with some meat.

Sorry for the injury. Patrick Swaze said " pain don't hurt ", I guess it don't on TV. smirk
Very sorry about the lost Elk hunt. Hopefully you can make it next year. I thoroughly sympathize.

Sidepass, So sorry about the accident man, I know it will be tough to miss the elk season. But you will have more in the future, take care and get well soon. I pray everything heals back correctly and you have no lasting effects.
