Bob, that blows

Were you with DZ? Man, getting hurt on the Island can't be a lot of fun. I used to hurt myself on the Block every time I was there but usually it was a fall from a high stool

If you know any locals, ask 'em about Lou Gaffett's Monday Night Club. It was legendary - they had lines secured to one of the support posts at the end of the bar so you could be lashed upright if you were too drunk to sit, much less stand.

Ahhhhh...those were the days!

But anyway, I'm curious, how did you get treated on the Island, I'm wondering

Man, getting back up the bluffs must've been a beyotch

wow, sorry to hear that bob. hope you heal up quick.

[numbskull]

That's brutal. Sorry.

Ugh.... That sux. Hope you can still work after it has been cast. I am also hoping it is your left, so you can still drive.....

your on there BOB-sorry to hear this

find an old sweat shirt to cut off the sleeves
to put over the top of your crutches.
(wrap and tuck -em under)

i highly recommend finding a physical therapy
location that has a heated wading pool which
makes rebuilding your calve and ankle strength
a whole lot easier when you only weigh half as much
while in the water... until your fully bearing weight again

even though this is many weeks away it's definitely worth considering.

make sure to ask for E-stim as it works wonders too.

heal up good...

I was with Tagger, DZ fished late into the night, Me and Tagger got up at 4 am to fish dusk.

There is a medical center here now they have x-rays and could look at it right away.

Getting up that bluff wasn't to easy I used my rod as a cain and took a while

It is my right foot and it is in an air cast so I can take it off.
