Broken Leg

[bestracing]

Thats right, Friday after all this nasty snow and ice storms are long gone, I slip on a smal patch of black ice in a parking lot and I wound up breaking my lower left leg. Right now it's set with pins and a brace because of swelling but I'll have to have surgery to get it all fixed up. I'm on my back for atg least 3 weeks and it could be up to 6 mouths before I can walk without assistace.

I hate to hear that Wayne, hopefully you will have a speedy recovery in time for racing season. Of course there are automatic transmissions.

[MrsAPE]

speedy healing!! seems that black ice has claimed quite a few victims!

[Mr.Moontang]

Damn son, I hope it feels better soon.

[NXcoupe]

Get better soon! Sorry to hear that, I went down behind my house, really sucked, but nothing broken or bruised but my pride! I wish you a speedy recovery!

[DeckerEnt]

Get well soon. Hope they gave you plenty of happy pills.

Best wishes to a speedy recovery.

Yes, Lots of those but it only takes the edge off the pain. Just got back from the doc's and the so it's on track with having the surgery Monday or Tuesday. I go back Friday for (hopfully) one last inspection before surgery.


Of course there are automatic transmissions.
Thats what I've raced the most. Better for bracket racing but still this has taken away from planned 4x4 rallies and and a family spring break get away.

Good Luck on your recovery..

If you are mobile after the doctors get done with you, you get special treatment at restaurants and stuff.

I broke my tibula & fibula back in the end of april and they had to put a titanium bar in my leg with some screws. Not a good time. I was holdin down the recliner till about mid august.

[MsBlkramair]

Holy crap Wayne! I hope you recover soon. That is terrible what happened. Tell your Holly that she needs to be extra special nice to ya for a few weeks! hahaha I hope the surgery goes well. Good luck.

[Ryan218]

[ibstrokin]

I broke my tailbone about 4 yrs ago and thought that was bad, but your leg looks alot worse. Hope you get better soon.

[bestracing]

ouch....them pins and crap still hurt? or you on some heavy meds?

Yes, but only a little because it's a yes to your second question.;)

[wild87stang]

Dang man hope everything goes good and you have a speedy recovery i sliped in the p-lot at work and busted my arse i think i sprang my hand but nothing at all really!

[DeckerEnt]

Damn that looks like it hurts. For the pain, I had 1 1/2 root canals done a few years ago and 2 hydrocodones and 1 beer made me sleep for 24 hours straight. Try that.

MMmm owww damn I'll drink a beer for ya

[FoxEgirl]

oh my that looks so painfull! I hope you get some good meds to help with that! In my prayers for speedy recovery!

[Black Hole]

Get well soon Wayne!!!!

[bestracing]

Went to the doctors this morning and got good news. The sweeling has gone down and so the surgery scheduled for monday is a go. This will remove my "LCA's" and they'll install the perminant rod along the tibia. I'll have at least 2 weeks of laying on my back with my leg elevated and from there we'll see. I should be able to return to work by April with restrictions, but it's better than sitting around.

[YouGotJunk]

Get well man..I know how that surgery crap goes..Hopefully your in and out with no complications...Good Luck!!

[R825OH]

Got AFLAC ?

[mustang8998]

Good luck, with the surgery Wayne. Hope all goes well.

Drinkin' one for ya now! :chug:

[MrsAPE]

Got AFLAC ?

everytime one of us goes to the doc or possible emergency room, hubby says AFLAC! he totals it up in his head and starts spending!! cracks me up!

[MrsAPE]

oh and...wishing you speedy recovery from surgery. hope all goes well!

[bestracing]

Got AFLAC ?

:lol: No quacks here, :D

I do have insurance and fortunately it won't cost me too much once it's all done with. I'll have a $500 co-pay for being checked in the hospital twice the 20% of lab test but the rest should be covered 100%. I'm thinking I'll have about $1600 - 2000 out of pocket when done.

[bestracing]

Just an update:

Surgery was done Monday and things went well there. 3 hours, one metal plate and 14 screws later. Didn't sleep at all monday night due to deep pain in the bones, not even Morphine helped. Had a slight fever but it didn't delay my discharge and I got to sleep at home last night. Well back to watching boring TV again.

[08 Vette]

Buddy i feel for ya! Take care! Buy yourself a Wii, Playstation or a X BOX to help pass the time.

Tim

[dedpedal]

Glad its going well as it is Wayne. Youll be back on your feet in no time.

[Black Horse]

A little realignment and you'll be as good as new - glad things are progressing for you!

[DeckerEnt]

Get well soon.

[bestracing]

Thanks guys. Getting laid up like this really makes you think of some of the things we take for granted. Just a simple walk to the commode is a physcal workout now.

Hey Tim, I leave the games to my son. He has both PS2 and an XBOX. Soon to get a 360 but thanks to a good friend, he set me up with a laptop while I'm off my feet and with my wireless connection it has made things better since I can check out my two favorite boards, nkyfba and sbz.

[R825OH]

Cool Man glad your doin' allright AFLAC rules Ibkoke a collerbone a few years back, with some dibability ins. and AFLAC I made more at home than at work. Insurance rules !!
