broken ankle

[WaveDemon]

i swear. i can't catch a break lately.

i'm bummed for real.

at least i rode all day saturday @ daytona... better than nothing i guess.

we'll put together a saki ride at sebby when you're all patched up. :Banane01:

why don't you start sanding that hull down for me since you're not riding :biggthumpup:

 

[Ollie Rastabean]

Damn dude.

Sorry to hear that.

So, what finally made you go to the ER???

 

[FL-cracker]

is this the ankle ?

It looked much worse in person !!

:haha: That is my Kancle!:biggthumpup: I guess the swelling has gone down some..... thanks for the pic. lol

 

[beachedflunkey]

Saki STAY OFF THAT ANKLE! Don't go around sanding hulls - I did that and I felt like I rebroke my foot twice last Nov/Dec. Finally I got on crutches, a good sedative diet, and two weeks later I was ready for phys therapy.

Don't worry, you only hurt yourself while you're still learning to ride oke:

 

[FL-cracker]

^^^^I know how that is!

 

[beachedflunkey]

Whatever works :dunno:. I used whatever generic codines I had lying around. I am worthless on that crap. Don't do anything that's going to make you stupid and start thinking you're good for the special olympics :439: :beerchug: :banghead:

You're gonna be fine for the wedding. But hit me up if you need a pinch hitter for the honeymoon urr:

 

[Mike Serlin]

Thats bad news Saki. Sorry to hear it. Heal quick buddy.

 

[special fx]

How did it happen, foot holds bite you? Foot holds make me nervous:skull2:

 

[SJBrit]

nah, i know exactly when it happened.. i was going up for a BR and the wave stood up on me to close out at the last second as i was going up it so it kicked me straight up instead of up and out (45 degree angle)..

it shot me straight up and i did a complete BR but then both my rotation and my travel came to a complete stop so i fell straight down with no forward momentum at all. i remember landing REALLY REALLY hard (flat landing).. i knew i messed it up right away.. footholds, footstraps, klowners, rickters, whatever.. wouldntve made a difference IMHO.. it was just a hard, flat landing..

Could have been a lot worse - you don't want to be P-Diddy....

 

[RoyalFlush@PCB]

Sorry if this offends you, Edwin, but "I told you so..." :biggrin:

I'm experienced in breaking ankles. :frown:

I still have trouble with my left ankle from time to time.

 

[RoyalFlush@PCB]

let me tell you, the ER is no picnic either. IT SUCKS. what a wasted day.

Hospitals suck---can't disagree there. I just don't take chances anymore when it comes down to injuries like this. I KNEW the first one was broken because the rideplate landed on my shin and slid down and STOPPED on top of my foot in shallow water. I don't know why I didn't throw the ski away. :banghead: I had a couple of broken bones with that one.

I didn't think the other one was broken---got tumbled in some surf and jammed my foot hard into the bottom. Thought I just sprained it real bad, but decided to get it checked out anyway. The Doc walks in with my x-rays and says, "So, you ever had a broken ankle before?"

what happened to pdiddy????????? (i heard about the trailer, but did something else happen to him???)

I think SJBrit was referring to the total carnage Parr did to his foot a couple of years ago. He shattered his foot BAD on a flat landed backflip...:frown:

I know how to go to the front of the line in the ER:sneaky: . Just come in on a back board like I did and you pretty much go to the front of the line. Not really the ideal way to avoid the wait but it worked. BTW those back boards are very uncomfortable:frown: .

Get well soon.
Later.

[the only couch rider]

oh.. true... cool. no, yeah, definitely couldve been much worse...

no pain no gain, go big or go home, bla bla bla.

now i'll REALLY be riding a couch!

kevin@legdrag has got a nice one for you to ride, pretty quick too from what i hear :sneaky: :sneaky: :sneaky:

 

[timbo512]

No TX Freeride for Saki. Heal up quick. After two Ankle surgeries, I feel your pain, bro.

 

[felix5oh]

Like they said, stay off the ankle and don't try hopping around.


Use a crutch or a cane. Keep the weight off for at least 4 weeks.


You could really damage it permenantly if you try to force it. There's no worst feeling than thinking about jetskiing and not being able too.
When i tore my ACL and Meniscus(knee cartalige), i thought i wouldn't ever be able to ride a stand up ski again. I was very, very depressed. My sergen even said to start out slow, that was 3 years ago and now i'm fine.
Just stay off of it and remember, it could be worst


Sorry to hear that your laid up bro. It sucks being hurt.

Welcome to the Daytona broken bone club.

Sorry to hear about that Saki, I know how it feels, to just be sitting around on your a** for weeks bro. :frown:

Get well soon.

 

[PancakePete]

feel better saki !:cheer:

 

[SuziQ]

Saki, just read all this, no idea...I'm so sry!

 

[primetime1267]

Just when I thought those 2 Michelob Ultras I gave to you on Sunday before we left would help your ankle... :beerchug:

Rest and elevation will help with your swelling bro.... Then get to work on Tims ski!!

 

[WaveDemon]

hey saki, at least you have a NICE BOAT!


:biggrin:
