KTMrad 508 Posted September 24, 2013 Went riding with my friend Ed Sunday....Viejas Grade then Boulder Creek and Cedar Creek. On Cedar....I hit a rock that was sticking out from the edge of trail but hidden by brush....my foot impacted the rock and caused the injury....then I went down. Immediately knew I broke something in my foot. Ed came back a few minutes later and had to lift my 950 up and help me on my bike. I rode out of there backo to Descanso then pavement home. Ed took me to ER at Sharp.....well I :did it good this time.....all 5 metatarsels broken and fractured ankle. The foot bones are misaligned from one toe to the other....surgery this Friday....out of work for awhile. All this on a day ride after I just got back from a 12 day 2300 mile trip.....glad it didn't happen on my trip. Big plus at Sharp Grossmont was all the people who helped me were friendly and cool....and a lot of hotties workin' at Sharp....good scenery ! Home now until Friday surgery.

kato 53 Posted September 24, 2013 Damn. There is another rock like that half way on santa ysabel, it's on the right in a right turn (heading towards black canyon). Admitely you'd have to be leaning in to hit it but it happened to me once with the front of my skid plate and although i managed to stay upright it was a very close call and this turn is now registered in my memory for a while. Get well soon Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ADV Bum 205 Posted September 24, 2013 Sorry to hear that Randy. Injuries are a drag, especially the ones with the lengthy healing time. I have to go out to bagstr's place one day soon, maybe I will stop by and stock up the beer supply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crusty Posted September 24, 2013 Ouch,,Hope you heal up fast! I woke up from my surgery a couple years ago with a HOT young nurse with tats in all the right places. I didn't know where I was or what I had done the night before. The pain killer was wearing off, and my knee started to hurt, she looked at me and said "Now you know where you are" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desertrunner 0 Posted September 24, 2013 That's exactly what I did last year. Slight ankle fracture and metatarsals broken in two places with complete displacement. I got my orthopedic boot 6 weeks after surgery and started riding with it at 7 weeks. Just couldn't take it anymore. Best of luck with recovery. I'll throw out an offer for help as well. I'm in North County, but I have a truck and can make the drive if needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HVYWT 3 Posted September 25, 2013 The reason I asked if you needed a Driver for the Docs.. Is because last Monday went down on some rocks at Lake Morena top of N.Kerman Rode the rest the day because had to get home (another 75 miles) and when I got home the wife would not take me to the ER.(She was PISSED) ER visit broken ribs collapsed lung . Pain meds. and breathing Incentive Spirometer sent home good to go. Wife still pissed. So I feel for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 195 Posted September 25, 2013 Randy, I feel for you. I blew up my left foot at Perris MX track about 10 years ago. My foot was completely reconstructed from bone graphs taken from my shin and hip. It's a bad injury so I pray you have a very good surgeon because it will be very important on how your foot lines up with your knee and hip about 10 years down the road.

KTMrad 508 Posted September 28, 2013 Doc said surgery went well....all bones realigned....pins come out in 4 weeks. Today has been the worst pain since last Sunday but guess having pins sticking out of your foot and bones being realigned it should be expected. All is good and will heal just find. Codyboy is having withdrawals....wondering why I'm laying around and we're not going to Ocean Beach....gotta get him down there soon....poor boy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
