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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) 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.

Funny you mention this because I had wallet size xray photos of the injury! Good thing I wasn't carrying a Cluebat ™ with me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) One time, in Denver not too long after the accident, I was still on crutches. Since it was winter, I was wearing long pants, which were a major PITA to get over the gigantic moon-boot immobilization brace I had to wear. TSA morons took my crutches away, made me stand on my good leg while wanding the broken one. Still not convinced/satisfied, they had me remove the brace, and then one of them started poking at the surgical scar! They finally let me sit down in a chair while they awaited a ruling from some authority person on letting me through, before letting me put myself back together....I sure didn't feel like I had any power to do anything but submit to their whims. I just wanted to get home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

QUOTE(Headrage @ Oct 13 2004, 08:01 AM) One of them is broken into about 6 pieces. 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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Ever heard of 1) stretching? 2) athletic shoes? Jumping rope is supposed to be good excercise for people of all ages (wearing shoes, apparently). Good luck with the healing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
