Broken Ankle

[Poolzer]

Was getting out of the duty top bunk today and trying not to wake anyone off, stepped down onto the night table and then hopped down to the ground (not 2 feet down) and came down on the right side of my foot the wrong way and heard a nice loud SNAP (which woke 2 of the gus up ironically). Went to medical and have a fracture on the outside of my right foot (for anyone medicalm the proximal end of the 5th metatarsal). I am down (cant fly) for 6-8 weeks and am pretty much worthless to my squdaron andthe other 7 medics.

SO Ill spend the next 40 or so days out here in the desert being worthless and being on vicodin.

Hmm, that's almost as bad as my brother dislocating his knee playing downball at school! You should come up with a more impressive version should people ask - something like jumping 30 feet out of a helicopter through gunfire should do the trick

Jokes aside, hope you're feeling better soon, and enjoy doing nothing for a while!

If I understood your injury correctly, that kind of shit happen mostly to volleyball players. I've heard it's REALLY painful.

[Churchchair]

Take care man !!!
40 days in the desert doing "nothing" must be very frustrating....

or....

Does that means that we've got an Admin here online for 40 days 7/7... 24/24 ?

That sucks Poolzer.... you should make up a good "battle wound"stroy to go with your injury, although that was an amusing read, the irony of it all. Get some good rest!!

[metmum]

ooch sounds painfull, you take care of yourself and I hope your foot feels better soon.

[Zrak0z]

Ouch, sounds awful. Hope you will be up and running soon. Take care!

[leglessmoof]

Take care bud, hope you feel better.

At least this injury will keep you out of harm's way for a while. [Well, I don't know anything about the security of your base. But I assume it's safer than flying around in a chopper!]

Hope you get better mate and that you can find some stuff to do for those 40 days - maybe a nice bit of sleep.

Hey Paul, I know how you are feeling and hope you get better soon, I have broken my ankle 3 times and have torn ligaments in my foot so I know how it feels; and to make things better I am still off work now with a torn rotator cuff muscle, been off 5 weeks and am climbing the walls in boredom! I can't wait to get back to work ......damn I can't believe I just said that.... must be bad Cheer up and enjoy hopping around and off course I am sure it won't effect your poker game too much!
