Tried to jump rope with my 9 year old daughter Monday night. Bad, Bad idea.
Here's proof. 3rd and 4th metatarsal.

I'm not really sure what I should be looking at, but I bet it's painful. What exactly happened?
your doctor builds model ships?
Fiberglass foot cast? How'd you manage to break your foot? Drink more milk.
Yep, 2 of them. One of them is broken into about 6 pieces. The boat is in my office. Just had to use the window for lighting. My daughter was out in the driveway jumping rope and me being the 18 year old flexible guy that I am NOT, decided that I could do it too. Barefoot on cement. Boy was I wrong
Ouch, sorry man. Rest up and drink some moo I guess?
Looks like the clutch foot too. I would be going through 914 driving withdrawls.
That's nothing! Check out my left ankle---

That actually makes me feel a little better. That must of hurt like hell.
nice...airport security must be fun!
Skiing Geoff?
Nice sheet rock screws.
I was out skate boarding with my son and his freind yesterday. I have some history in boarding so they were out showing me new tricks. I will remember those pictures next time they ask me to try doing an Ollie.
Here Andy, I removed the boat from my foot.

Sorry about the foot, Allen. I fell off a skateboard that belonged to a friend's son and thought I had broken my elbow. It reminded me that I wasn't as young and agile as I once was.
Geoff, Those screws remind me of my girlfriends heel bone which she fractured about four years ago. They put several screws in it to pull the chunks back together. The x-rays showed them at various angles making you wonder why they couldn't put them in straight!
While we were consulting the surgeon he advised her to begin taking a heavy dose calcium supplement and commented to me that it wouldn't hurt if I did too. Three years later I pass a massive kidney stone which lodges in the duct from the kidney to bladder and has to be removed by a scope starting at the urethrea. Oh, yeah, lots of fun. I ask my docter if there was any connection with the calcium supplement and he said maybe... <_< I checked out clean in my follow-up x-ray recently. Now to track down that surgeon...
He should have told you that you have to drink a gallon of water to go with those calcium suppliments. That's the only way your body can get rid of the excess stuff that causes stones. I had a friend who had stones. They broke them up with an ultrasound pulse cannon. They passed without all that intrusive stuff.
OUCH!!! Did they start testing for oxalate and uric acid levels as well? Might have been the calcium suppliments, but I'm sure you want to cover all the bases rather than having it occur again. Drink 8 glasses of water a day religiously. Even more if you drink alcohol. Dehydration is the major cause.
A good friend at work rents out jump houses. We got one for our little girls B.day I think I had more fun in it than the kids.
Don't mention jumping castles. I hurt my back in one them on xmas eve 02. My youngest daughter wanted one for her last day as a child. She was 18 the next day. It was great fun but not when you are over 50.
One might think that I was skiing -- and I certainly have plenty of stories from Colorado (Keystone, Vail, and my fav -- Arapahoe Basin) where I should have broken more than just my leg. When would first tell my friends that I broke my ankle, they all asked 'where were you skiing at the time?'.
But no, I slipped on an icy sidewalk at work a couple of winters ago. Totally unglamorous. So my friends came up with a story I could tell at bars involving a holiday of ski jumping in Finland. Suomi! (A far second to Belgium when going abroad...)
Yes, all that hardware would set off metal detectors. I had a couple of long waits at security checkpoints while the clueless F***wits with the metal detectors tried to figure out what my 'orthopaedic implant' card from my surgeon meant. The couldn't just call and verify, no I had to wait there for a bleedin' hour whilel they waved a wand over my leg, trying to figure out if I had a bomb surgically implanted under my skin.
You need to carry a print of that x-ray along with the card. They might just go "OWW!!!" and let you through.
I could show y'all my latest stitches from last weeks procedure... but it'd make Mike Z's harry butt pic look tame. Lets just say that I feel sorry for all of the dogs I've had fixed in the past... real sorry.
