One of Life's little bummers
Broke me ankle the other week. 2 bones, 2 tendons, 2 pins and I'll probably back on the pegs February. So simple, just slipped walking to the shed to get Some 120 grit. That'll slow things up!
Bugger, sorry to hear that Sebastian. Hope it sorts itself out nice and quick, had my share of broken this and that and none have been much fun.
Broke my ankle once back in my biker days and it nearly stopped my from riding because I would have been pulled over by the police with that big white plaster on the bottom half of my left leg. Then I had a brain wave, out come the black spray can and a pair of scissors. With the aid of a black ugg boot on my good foot instead of the usual rossi riding boots, I was back on the road and cruiz'in like a bogan
Cheers
Kim

Sorry to hear that mate, hope it heals all well soon, take it easy, something similar happened to me 7 years ago as i was starting my new job, had a cast and continued working with it 
but i wouldn't try that again, it takes longer to heal, SO, take it easy OK?!

I want to double up on the go slow advice! The was a guy named Bill when I was about 10. He worked in the local Lick-a-toe (liquor store 
)! Great guy, he would sell us candy, sodas, beer!(The beer's a JOKE 
)
Bill breaks his leg, after a couple of weeks decides he doesn't need a cast, cuts it off, rebroke it and walks with a really, really bad limp to this day, like he was deformed!
Yea! Yea! A huge inconvience! Keep it on, take it easy, and use "180 next time"!

Hang in
Hang in there Sebastiann my friend. I am very sorry to hear about your injury.
Yesterday my 32 year old nephew nearly cut his hand off while carving with a hunting knife...... The problem was that he was sitting way up in a tree, deer hunting, alone, with a loaded 5 shot 12 gage shot gun....... He couldn't stop the bleeding, was miles from help, and thinks that he fainted too trying to walk out of there. He had a bad day.......
Here is to a speedy recover for you Sebastiann.

Sorry to hear about that Sebastian. Be good and do what the guys in white tell you to do. Do your physical therapy exercises and hopefully you can go back to life as it was before.
And if it makes you feel any better Fran simply stepped off of a curb on to pavement and broke her ankle in two places. No rocks, cracks or holes to at least justify the damage. She simple stepped wrong.

Thanks for the thoughts and wishes everyone, the days are getting a bit tedious sometimes but the final cast goes on on Friday so life will get easier. Im not allowed to put any pressure on it for at least two months. Plenty of time to french polish the classical!
Panhead I hope Kim!, Honduras Mahogany for a peg leg!, I think you've been on the rig long enuff Kiwi!, OK Ill PM my address.... Hesh, I grovelled up from the spot where gravity won as my youngest was on the XBox and the eldest was out bush bashing. only 25m uphill but I have the greatest respect for these people who walk miles with this kind of thing. Lillian, what can I say, gravity sucks!
Fortunately I have what is called Trauma Insurance. For those who can afford it I recommend it. Particularly with XMAS on the way
