kkug 145 Posted July 20, 2014 I broke my tiba fibia in Big Bear. I am sitting in Colton for surgery. This process takes a long time. Was supposed to go in at 7:30 but it is 10:15 and no action yet. I am not in too much pain but who knows what the future holds. Thanks to all the Sdar peeps that have been helping me and in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtdiver 2 Posted July 20, 2014 Sorry to hear that Ken. There are some pretty knarly spots up a BB. Were you doing something technical or was it just a happenstance? Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldbeemer 0 Posted July 20, 2014 Sorry to hear about this. How bad was the break? Scews and plate? I had to go back for a tune-up after my break to pull the hardware and scope the scar tissue off the ligament last month. You'll be good as new in no time. Listen to the docs, do your PT.

kkug 145 Posted July 21, 2014 Well I got a rod put in my right lower leg. No cast so far?. With being the weekend not many ortho people around. The hospital looks dial in though. Waiting to see ortho guy this morning. I glanced off a tree branch that was 4 inches around. That will teach me for telling everyone to hug the right side. Got deflected to the left and crashed auger in to another Bush. Over the bars I went. Happens fast. Later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagstr 287 Posted July 21, 2014 Those auger crashes will do you no good. I am planning on the continued protection from my Kug Sticker, because we should be good for another 45 years! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afry 1 Posted July 21, 2014 Sorry to hear that Ken, I have a 3 wheeled knee cart you can have. It really makes getting around the house easy without crutches and has a basket for your crap and most importantly a drink holder! I can bring it over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CL300CAPT 0 Posted July 21, 2014 So sorry Ken! If you need anything, I'm close by and have lots of time off. Just shoot me a PM or call my cell. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
