Default well i pulled a doug

looks like i might not be racing for a while. last night while i was at my uncles house i was gonna light off a mortor, i slipped on a hill and fell down. my right ankle ended up under me and me and a few peeps around heard what sounded like the plastic bases on the mortor tubes cracking to peices. after my leg stopped hurting, i was goin into shock, i checked the tubes and they were fine. so the crunch was me. my fibula was broken through and i think i might have a few toren ligiments.

oh yeah i gots my happy pills. yeah, worst case is if i tore a bunch of ligiments and my ankle isn't stable, i have to get a plate on my fibula and a screw on the inside of my ankle to hold it together. but the best case my ankle is stable, i could be walking on it with a walking cast in 2 weeks. so i am preying that on tuesday my doc will say i can walk in a couple of weeks.

Broke my fibula playing football in highschool. It ended my football career in highschool and college just because it never healed right. On a bad night it will still wake me up twisting in the middle of the night.

Well, at least it wasn't your hand... that way you can still play Halo. Well, you can't play Halo anyhow, but you know what I mean.

Hope you feel better, dude!
