Sorry Jim. I thought you were probably up on a chair in someones cellar looking for hidden gems. Good thing your ankle is all you busted up. Get well before late April.
Yeah Mr. S I don't need to buy a broken ankle
wrong forum, you, never mind.

mrstriper · 01-10-2009, 01:37 PM

oops.guess I am the dumbass....wondering why I couldn,t see the post?????
anyone know how to move this post....

Raven · 01-10-2009, 04:15 PM

ooooooh not fun....

r.i.c.e. rest ice circulation elevation , i believe you'll learn

How about range of motion... dorsel flection ...

IBUPROPHEN take it with milk ..

put sweatshirt sleaves on/over your crutch rubbers for extra cushion to prevent arm pit burn

don't know which foot: but
be careful of using your other foot leg and especially your opposite hip to do everything ...because you'll burn it out
real quick ...also if your wearing one of those air cast boots
that makes your injured leg Longer.

Heal up JIM ....don't forget your vitamins !!

Slipknot · 01-10-2009, 05:20 PM

Wow Jim, I hope it's not so bad and heals quick. I guess now you can have the kids wait on you for a change

I'll move the thread for you

numbskull · 01-10-2009, 05:28 PM

It's been awhile since I worked in the rehab hospital but I believe the "c" is for compression (ace bandages etc...), wrap the ice around ankle with ace wrap and elevate. As for the crutches and stairs...remember "up with the good foot, down with the bad"
Good luck with the rehab!

PNG · 01-10-2009, 05:44 PM

Bummer.

Never mind the noise you hear downstairs its just Ernie & me tidying up a little

Biteme · 01-10-2009, 06:00 PM

Thanks for the kind words. I can't stand just sitting here, but my 10 year old daughter is waiting on me. She served me pancakes on her princess TV tray this morning

. Chris the door is locked and alarmed.

mrstriper · 01-10-2009, 06:00 PM

thanks slip for moving the post...hey PNG we can probably take a couple hundred plugs EACH and he can't chase us down

yes the c is for compression!!!

Lower · 01-10-2009, 08:06 PM

Sorry to hear that Jim. Like Clamer said below...better now than in 4 months! Ernie...count me in on the hiest. I'll bring a wheelbarrell.

As someone who has broken both ankles more than once, the best piece of advice I can offer you is: TAKE IT EASY. Don't try to do too much too fast it will only make the process take that much longer.

wader-dad · 01-10-2009, 08:21 PM

Jim- I fractured my ankle a few years ago playing touch football with my kids- had surgery and got 2 plates and 9 screws. Non-weight bearing for 3 months. It sucked. But I listened to the doctors and the physical therapists and did not walk on it until they told me too. I did not want to mess it up for the rest of my life. My brother-in-law started walking on a broken ankle way too soon and it is a mess- never healed right. I did what they said and mine is good as new. I fished Cutty this fall with no problems and I ran 4 miles today. So my advice is to do what they say and get used to pissing in a bottle-cuts down on crutching to the bathroom.

tynan19 · 01-10-2009, 08:56 PM

Get well soon and rest it full term.

missing link · 01-10-2009, 09:07 PM

Get well soon ? are you in a cast? I broke my foot 3 yrs ago during the winter no cast it $ucked but one thing after a break the bone structure gets stronger my boots fit funny on the foot I broke , It might not happen to you .
But my left foot is stronger so that's the one I'll use to kick Clammer in the A$$ when he hits on my wife

justplugit · 01-10-2009, 09:48 PM

johnny ducketts · 01-11-2009, 07:53 AM

Damn.. Jim...that sucks, that seems like something I would do at 2 in the morning putting a bottle on for cameron. Hope your feeling better soon, I would love to come and ho some plugs before Mr. Striper and PNG take them all. Get well soon

JohnR · 01-11-2009, 08:19 AM

Get better soon on that, milk it for whatever you can

Crafty Angler · 01-11-2009, 08:32 AM

Ya, but he was hiding inside when you locked the door. Seriously heel quickly. Spring is coming.

Flaptail · 01-11-2009, 10:27 AM

I know a nice cold creek that empties into the bay. If you put some waders on and go stand in it on a dropping tide, even at this time of year, it can be very therapeutic not only for your ankle but your soul as well.

Hope you heal fast.

Fish_Eye · 01-11-2009, 07:24 PM

Get well soon. You'll be ready for the rocks on Cuttyhunk by the time the fish return.

Rappin Mikey · 01-11-2009, 07:33 PM

Get wheel soon. Busted my knee in the winter some years back, was all set for the Spring run. I hope the same recovery to you.

sean curry · 01-12-2009, 10:57 AM

sean

=============================================
they are tricky

with 3 ranges of motion

when you get to the exercise phase ok jim

point your toes east then west |as far as you can

south then north

then rotate foot as if big toe is a thumb
point down to floor (as much as it will go)
this aint twister

then point to ceiling (as much as it will go)

then do rotations - clockwise then counter clockwise
similar to loosening up your neck

don't forget your crutches ...because hopping is bad

Bronko · 01-12-2009, 11:22 AM

Hope you feel better soon.
