I'm pleased with my scars. They are hardly noticeable. The only thing that really bugs me after a year is the tenderness around the ankle. A minor brush or bump will bring me to tears. I'm still afraid of my footholds, but I'm riding, jumping wakes etc... Its sucks getting old and decrepit.

Looks from your sig that you are getting plenty of feline assistance. Heal Quickly and keep it iced and elevated.

Thats what worry's me, just about one mm of skin over the bone and the plate will be almost visible and easily bumped.

The funny thing is my tibia with the two long screws in them hurt more that the fibula with the plate.

Just think of this way you will have plenty of time to work on your pimp walk:bling:

Hey Crabby say no to the fiberglass cast if you can. I don't care what you wrap it in, how careful you are it will get wet. Also if they wrap it and don't give you a little room for swelling. It will feel like it's on fire with no relief.

thanks:Eyecrazy:

only missed two days work. every one thought i was in a car wreck.

went to my son's open house and his was one of the papers stuck on the chalk board and it was about this injury. wish i would have gotten a pic when you could see the skull. could have stayed around at the er for a cat scan, but i hate doctors and hospitals. i think i am alergic to them.:shhh:
 
not my worst but the only one i have pics of anymore, femur was from last summer. i had a tib/fib break 3 years ago that came out of the skin that was kinda gross, that was taken care of by some pins and a bunch of screws.


my worst of all time was when i swapped an MX bike off a big single, and took a handlebar to the chest 2 years ago. It broke my sternum, 4 ribs, punctured both my lungs, ruptured my spleen and i flatlined on the way to the hospital, and was in a coma for a bit. kinda scary but i am still kickin'

"Flatlined" means the heart has no electrical activity, usually means there is no blood pumping anywhere. Flatline for more than a minute or so and you are dead unless someone is doing CPR on you at the time.

Must have been a whopping trauma to cause broken ribs, punctured lungs, a ruptured spleen and stopped heart. Sounds like you're very lucky to be alive. Most people (or animals) that flatline never live to tell the tale.

They tell me i was super lucky to have no permanent brain damage. i remember laying on the track and someone getting in my face asking me if i was ok...then i blacked out. i woke up in the hospital 3 days later semi confused (no idea how i got there, and still under heavy sedation). when i was in the helicopter i stopped breathing, and my heart stopped. they gave me CPR and i got hit with a defibrillator and came back (no recolection of any of this happening). i still have a perfect circle scar on my chest from the end of the handle bar. to this day it is still hard to comprehend the fact that i was "dead" for a few seconds.
