Thanks to all for the kind wishes. Went back to the fracture clinic yesterday to have it looked at by the orthopaedic surgeon. Ankle was dislocated in addition to the break. He therefore had to reduce it (major ouch!) and I am now in a non-walking cast and we'll wait two weeks, take more xrays and if the reduction sticks I get a walking cast for a month. If the reduction didn't work we're under the knife.

And this wasn't a theatrical/musical performance, but you still "broke your leg" so to speak... I hope it mends quickly and with little pain.

We had a flash freeze yesterday after a thaw that covered the gutters and bike lanes with standing water. The sudden drop in temps, of course, turned it to ice. Worse was the gusting forty-to-sixty kilometre an hour winds. Got smacked with a sudden sidewind while on black ice. Down I go. Broken ankle. But, "a good break" which should allow a walking cast/boot and heal without complications. On my way to fracture clinic as we speak to be looked at by orthopaedic surgeon and get fitted for aforementioned cast. If I am a walking/metropassing messenger for a while I will have more photo ops! ;-) As always, could have been worse. More on this later. Just wanted to share with friends (that's you guys!). ;-) cheers, frank -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
