As they say "break a leg" for good luck, I'm thinking some bad vibes might just help me out at the orthopedist tomorrow.

Have at it

Where is your fishing stuff in case you don't make it?

I bet it's a sprain. My buddy just had something similar. He thought it was really bad and the MRI showed just a sprain. Good luck.

Agree. Gear is in an undisclosed location.

I started with a local, they saw how bad it was then gave me a general, 3 hours later....

That was 90 pounds ago with no insurance 18 or so years. Just because some ahole can't field a ball

Hope you don't have the issues I did (ACL/MCL/ 35% of Cartiledge and thats just the left knee) and it was just a sprain.

Is this just another ploy to get you out of fishing for another season?

Seriously, I'm wishing the worst possible luck on you, Spence. That being said, I hope it ends up being a very minor issue and a quick, painless recovery.

Having health issues suck. As you get older they occur more frequently and the healing time is extended. What took a week to heal when you were 20 takes 6 months when you are 50. It really takes away from the fun things in life.

If it makes you feel better, I slammed my thumb and index finger with 3# sledge hammer the other day (working on the boat). The pain is extreme. It does not subside. My thumb is black. It hurts to do anything. I have a hard time even driving. It took me 5 min to type this with one hand. My left hand is useless....but the good news is my rotator cuff in my shoulder does not seem to hurt as much anymore....go figure.

God wasn't fair when he figured in the time factor in regard to older peoples healing process for sure. We should heal more quickly and youngsters should heal more slowly, because the youngsters make up for the severity of thier injuries with thier age. The pain a three pound sledge causes reverberated through my fingers/thumbs when I reda Sandman's post.

It is why I started going to the Y everyday and I am not going to stop. Lost thirty #'s and I am going to lose 40 #'s more before the next derby. I am going to walk the beach this year. The friekin eliptical machines shudders when it sees me walking towards it.

And Spence, I just cant wish you bad thoughts. I am not made that way. Good luck, I hope it minor, and heals fully and quickly.
