The ER doc said surgery with screws and plates. I'm hoping she was exaggerating. But, the more I read about it, the less I like it! I was afraid that was what it was but it was just a severely smashed planar tendon. They talked about doing a lot of stuff but I just wore cross trainers for about a year instead of my boat shoes and it got better. I still get a twinge now and then but I am basically OK. In this case there's no doubt the bone is broke in a few places. But it's not dislocated, so maybe screws won't be necessary. I'll know a lot more this afternoon when the Doc has looked at the X-rays. Hopefully all you will need as a cast so the bones can mend by themselves. Good luck. Back from the doc. Only one break, but it goes from the top almost to the bottom and then bends back towards the back of the bone. The entire bone is broken, but not much displaced. Therefore he thinks surgery will not be necessary. He'll know more after a CT scan on Thursday. Right now he's thinking 2-3 months in the boot with no weight on the foot. Am investing in one of these: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/...311653608.html Maybe I can motorize it later. Probably outrun a Ducati! Will they let you use that on the green? They do make an 'all terrain' one with fat tires. Might could get away with that. |

Oh yeah...I also have good quality 2 piece Grade 1 extension ladders. The 36 footer is getting a bit heavy to handle at 80 pounds. Let your wife set it up for you. She did assist me up to the last paint job. She would anchor the ladder's feet while I walked it up to a vertical position and she'd help me turn it to face the wall. On occasion she'd support the ladder when I was up working between the 20 and 26 foot level...then I caught her not doing her job. She complained that it was "boring". Watching for your safety would be boring. She sounds like a solid woman. Krause and White, the K&W twins, will turn that into some kind of ugly comment about Don's wife. |
