MAJOR grumpage
I was walkin down the driveway from the mailbox...turned to look at something and my right foot rolled off the lip of the driveway... POP
serious pain....sweats and nausea...almost didn't get up.
Just got back from ER and Xrays show a large chip of bone sitting out in the soft tissue....I pulled a tendon completely off the bone and it took a piece of bone with it. That was the pop 
Orthopedic doc next week....no work....prob can't drive....definitely no fishin  |

That sucks Salty. Ice...Ice...and more Ice. Take whatever they give you for pain, keep it elevated. You'll be back sooner than you think. Hang in there.

Ahhhh, it hurts. I've been there. I hope, for your sake, you don't need surgery or a cast. Hang in there.
When I ruined my ankle I found soaking it in a 5 gallon bucket of ice and water helped the most. Good luck.

My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.

 I got a knee with a popped tendon but told the doc see you in November. It hurts like hell at night lying down and last week or so I have been up at night with the ache for hours at a time and sleeping in the lazy boy. Doc may be right might be sooner than later but I am holding out as it doesn't hurt that bad when I am up and about. Twisted one way while doing the lawn work several weeks ago and pop! out it went and wowsa I saw stars. Finished the lawn though as the queen knew I wanted to go fishing and she would have thought I was fooling or trying to get out of my chores early so I could sneak off later.
I got a new filet knife. It's a virgin and I could fix that for you right quick if you wanted! I watch alot of medical shows on tv. You know like Trauma, Paramedics etc., etc. I could give it a whirl, can't be that tough to fix, course I cannot give you anything for pain but you could bite on a needlefish! ( One of yours of course!)
Seriously Scott, that sucks, my knee is killing me and I can imagine what you must be feeling. Hang in there.  |
Why even try.........

Scott that sucks. Hopefully you won't need any surgery. But if the doc says you do, just do it now and get it over with. No sense in being in pain for the whole season.

I know Chris, felt good this am when I got up...took 4 ibuprofen before I went to bed last nite...just alot of pressure from the swelling-was all good til 10 minutes after I got up and moved the wrong way. That set it up the rest of the day.

Sorry to hear it Salty.I really can feel for you as I've been down that road many,many times.More broken bones,torn ligaments and pulled tendons than I care to remember.
Take it easy on the ibuprofen.It really can mess your innards up.Heavy icing down can help alot with the swelling.
PS.I've been hittin fish on a 1.25 crazybugger I got from you last year.They loved it Wednesday night.

BW thanks. Feels better today, woke up this am and all the blood had made it's way to the skin so now the whole ankle is red/black.
Glad you liked the CB swimmer. It's a great plug. Going to try some different stuff with that this year. For a small bait imitations it's the perfect size.

i agree...it can give you bleeding ulcers so use it sparingly. |

Change is what happens when the pain of holding on becomes greater than the fear of letting go.
