Thread: TR: Ankle Surgery.......and the real story as requested by Gordy

So i got out of surgery yesterday and here i am in bed with my leg elevated and a lot of painkillers.....last night was extremely painful but the pain seems to be getting better now so hopefully it is all up hill from here.

They put a plate in and only one pin so that is good news i guess. The surgery went well but they forgot to give me some extra painkillers or whatever after surgery so i guess i woke up too early in the recovery room, which got me off to a bad start, but a lot of morphine later, i was good to go home.

As for how i broke the ol' ankle......Gordy if you must pry it out of me here goes....

I actually broke it dancing to some 80s beats, late night at a roof deck party in NYC.....i was trying to complete a rather tough move with a couple of ladies, when i tripped over a flower pot and twisted it. I thought it was just a sprain, so i limped home and tried to sleep it off. But when i woke the next morning the pain was unbearable so i went off to the ER. Then to the specialist and then off to surgery, and here i am. But i got some ski flicks and playoff baseball to keep me company. Its a pretty lame story and i'm quite embarrased but thats the truth.....i think i will be taking it a little easier in the comming months that is for sure, and no dancing......

Thanks for the support guys, and as soon as i'm cleared to ski after the new year, i will be heading out to Utah first thing.......

Well, at least you weren't dancing with a couple of dudes.

i think you need to come up with a better story than that... something involving a cat stuck in a tree, helping at the orphanage, etc. hope you heal up quickly and are ready for the white room

you limped home WITH the chicks, right?

hope you recover quickly....

Methinks, sentences with 'limp' and 'with the checks' should be avoided.

told you it was a barley and water story, heal up
