I was getting my boat out of the water and slipped on some mud and broke 3 bones above my ankle Glad I had some good friends to come and help me out Barley got to my phone. My foot was bent sideways really bad so I had to twist back in place. Having surgery Tuesday with plates and screws. Lot of pain. You all catch some fish for me.
Man that's a bad deal. Did that 3 1/2 years ago. No surgery but got to wear a brace for almost 3 years. Still ain't right. Saying a prayer for a speedy recovery. You will be back fishing before you know it.
Man! That stinks, Buddy. Hope all goes well. If you just can't stand it and have to have a crappie fix, give me a shout. It is about time to break out the Bandits.
I'm still sporting a bruise the size of a cantaloupe just above my belt from a face-plant I did in my boat 2 weeks ago. Went to push it off the bank, grabbed the front chair for support, it spun around and I fell right into the middle of all my long-line rods and tackle boxes. Luckily the bruise is the worst of it and I didn't break any rods. Can't say one of my boxes faired that well.
Sorry to hear that Buddy! The crappie however are glad for the news!
Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery. I had shoulder surgery a week ago and am laid up to. Passing time with the TV and internet. I think I have seen every bait known to man on ebay.
picked up a couple bargains and got a few new ideas while searching. Good luck to ya.
Hate to hear that! Hope surgery goes well.
that's something you didn't need!!praying for a quick recovery.
Man!!! Sorry to hear that Buddy. I get home Thur. Let me know if ya need anything.
Get healed up soon. The Shindig will be here before ya know it!
Hope everything goes well with your surgery. I'm finding I fall or almost fall a whole lot more than I did 10 years ago. Things I used to make it thru with just a bruise now result in a doctors visit. Better to get it fixed right the first time so it'll hold up later. Better load up on some good books and video's and go thru the search engine and look at some of the old stuff on this site. Best to you!
Buddy, sorry for the misfortune. Hope all goes well with the surgery and recovery.
Thanks everyone for all the prayers and get wells. I will post something after surgery and let you guys know what is happening. Right now being helped by my wonderful wife who I find will do anything. First time I have ever been down and it is hard being dependent on a lot of people. I know I have a lot of great friends here that would be there in a heartbeat. You all catch some fish and share !
Hope everything goes well with the surgery and for a complete recovery. I did the same thing with my ankle except they took bones out instead of plating and screws. After surgery, they will cast your leg and foot. If they will let you, ask them for the "space boot" also. Not sure of the medical name for it. It has a hard sole and it comes up to almost your knee. Has velcro straps at the foot and up the leg. I wore mine over the cast. Along with the crutches, it helped alot to be able to get around. I still have mine if you need to use one. Take care.
Sorry..........
You can't keep a good man down. If there is a way, you will find it. May be a good time to make some lures.:cheers2Quote:

Buddy, what is happening?. How did the surgery go? Hope all is well. I will be down in your area around the third week of june, maybe we can have lunch.
Hey guys, I had surgery last week and they put in some screws and plates.Now wearing a hard cast. Been having a lot of pain but it is getting better. Been on my back with my leg propped up for 2 weeks now. I am getting a little stir crazy and wishing I could at least get out of my room. I am not a patient feller. Going to the doc next Wed. to get another type of cast on and maybe some more comfort. I really miss my freedom but I guess in time it will get better. Thanks for all your prayers. They are working. Hope you all are catching some fish. Take care!!!!
Take your time and heal Buddy. We've healed from far worse things than broken bones. My family and I buried my brother today. George W. was at the service. He's actually a deacon at the church now. I don't know if you remember him but I told him that I recently made contact with you. He told me to tell you hello and God Bless.
Take Care,
Lloyd G.
Glad to hear your doing better. Empathize with you. They didn't do the surgery on mine but was in a cast for 11 weeks. Stir crazy dosnt begin to describe it. Bear with the pain, it gets better day by day. You will be up and about before you know it.
Glad your doing better. Let me know if you need anything
My only advise is to listen to the Doctor and Rehab techs and when they tell you to work it WORK it! It will be sore and no fun but when you finish you will be glad you put the sweat into it! Best of luck to you and Somebody close put this man on your boat as soon as he is cleared! :fishQuote:
