ouch, that is a major injury. Hope the recovery is quick.

sorry to hear the news George. I hope for a speedy recovery for you.

Gee whiz that sucks. A girly sport to boot. Guess we won't be fishing the Islands in Nov. this year. Art are you out there? Got plugs:rotf2:
I am surprised Alan was so gentle explaining the injury to us. I am sure he is lobbying to do the surgery for you :)On a serious note if you need anything don't hesitate to ask. Bummer.

Get well soon Numby..........................and I hope we don't see a "How to fix your achilles tendon with your plug bag sewing machine" thread from you soon.

Ya know I went to see my brother, a doctor, a few years ago about some issue. He said I know exactly what it is: You turned 50 and your warranty expired.
Get well soon

bummer ,,,,sucks getting old .. Better off sticking to picking on Alan and leave the kids alone . Need any thing give me a shout .

that stinks, get well soon george

Hey, Doc, now it is your turn in the exam room. The problem is you will need to go to another part of the hospital for awhile. Having a little experience with your chosen field of endeavor, I can say that the injury may be very painful, especially when going through the PT work. Did they cast it?? I hope that you have a good and fast recovery so we can finish our conversation the next time we meet at the office.

Well look at it this way....least he'll be a easy target to throw rocks at now

:hidin:

GWS George that sucks.

that sucks. probably some nice plugs will come out of it for next year when your back to 100%.

Did you at least score a goal. . .

Speedy recovery George

Get well soon George!

Heal quickly, George.

get well soon george!

Heal up quick George. And if you don't mind can i use your rod zeebaas and nice home built surbag with plugs included. Also a map of your honey holes.:devil2:

Get well and heal right. What drag it is getting old...
My BIL injured his achilles as well, just standing in the surf and a coconut hit him just right. He claims that it was an attack by a rare coconut shark...Rest up , don't push it.

On a more positive note I,ll bet George knows who the --gentle-- P.T.'S are.
No screaming in the PT room George. I did and frightened the rest of the patients.
They stuck me in a small private room with Wanda the wrestler. She tied a palomar knot with my legs

Hope it heals fast for you.I've heard the pain from that is pretty high up on the list.

almost as much pain as being outfished by Alan he has told me .

Ugh! Somewhere Flap is laughing. Remember his toe fracture?
Alas, when you are stupid life sometimes bites you in the ass, and all you can do is turn the other cheek.

It wasn't soccer, it was a Western PA family reunion volleyball game and like any good father I was teaching those disrespectful worthless 20-something sons of mine a lesson in trash talking. Probably I was describing my magnificence when it happened. At least now they'll feel guilty for.......10-15 minutes maybe (the scum finished the game without me).

Still, if you're going to get hurt, playing one last time with your kids is the way to do it.

Sounds like a trip to the OR, a month in a cast, 2 months in a boot, then 4 months of rehab.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Yep I remember Flaps' broke toe, It was one of the first things I thought of when I read Alan's post.

On a good note, I have some wall cabinets for you if you still want some??? let me know. I guess you will be on the disabled list for a while :(

Well, then, I'll turn most of them loose so you can get 'em on the way back up next spring. ;)

[QUOTE=numbskull;881383]Ugh! Somewhere Flap is laughing. Remember his toe fracture?

George-Numby: It would be especially ironic for the Flap to see you rehabilitating-- on the Fish Pier, in your wheelchair, at the Canal. I'll be glad to drive you there and prop you up. We all know how much you just LOVE to hate the Canal......

Just needs rod holders...
 

and a cup holder...I hope you have a speedy recovery.

nummie...at last a legit excuse not to fish the holy cow ......but how ru going to fish the round rocks on the island like that?.. did you get the leason across to the kids not to mess w/ a 50t something teenager....ouch

George, get well soon and keep a positive attitude.

Pain; but smiling!
 

Orthopedist Instructions: "NON WEIGHT BEARING"

Interpretation: That doesn't necessarily mean "Non Fishing".

not much weight to that little schoolie anyway

good to see you fishing George :btu:

way to go george!
