@Mona86 ouch! what part of your leg?

Toe and left knee @Unlearn

Actually it was the right knee sorry @Unlearn

@Unlearn according to the doctor back then better than new. Even more flexible than my right leg which won't let me get into a full lotus position.

@DeWayfarer Do you still have the pins in?

@Sutten no, those had to come out. They where sticking out of my leg and why the caste pushed down on them.

@Sutten I answered in your comment. 😀

@Unlearn I did and that's not your face.

@Iwillwait 🤦

@Unlearn I'm into drinking. 🤣

@SW-User haha...I broke my leg because I had too much to drink and we freaking won the world cup that night...

@Unlearn Then it was worth it! Congrats!

@Unlearn Was weeding near a retaining wall with my back to it. Had done the same in the same place most days for 19 years - took it for granted, forgot to be mindful of my position in space.
Stood up, took a step backwards and, whoosh, foot missed the wall.
Tipped over backwards, two meter fall into concrete drain.
One of the ribs punctured a lung.
Couldn't move for a few minutes.
Couldn't scream - no voice.
Husband in house 50 metres away.
Eventually managed to get to feet, bent over, and walked back to house.
Hardest 50 metres of my life.

@hartfire I feel so sorry reading it... 😟

@Unlearn Thank you. :)
It was a long hard road - the healing - 7 months physio - but I'm much better now - back to normal and back into regular work and lifestyle.
It turned out I had osteopenia - the stage just before osteoporosis.
I get 6-monthly injections now, take daily calcium and Vit D, get 15 mins of sunbaking whenever it's fine, and am working on increasing fitness, suppleness and strength.
Despite the tough process, it was better that I discovered the osteopenia when I did. These days it's completely reversible.
It could have been far worse.

@Unlearn heres my plate and screws, why were yours removed, did it cause you pain and problems

@Sutten it was recommended to remove it after one year. God forbid if one met another accident and broke the same bone (with plate and screws) again. It would be a very complicated operation to set it right again...

@Unlearn i broke mine in 2020, im seeing the orthopaedic surgeon Tuesday because im experiencing pain, so I will see if he recommends to remove.

@DeluxedEdition which was most painful?

@Unlearn that’s a little tough to answer because the cartridge hurt while it was being broken because I was being assaulted and still hurts to this day, daily

And when I broke my tibia and fibula I was struck by a car and didn’t feel it until afterwards so that one hurt more AFTER. and also still hurts to this day when it rains or gets cold

@latinbutterfly I have twisted them so many times as well...

@lovelywarpedlemon Nope. I hear it's very painful. Did you!?

@lovelywarpedlemon well! You could always break someone else's d*** 🤣

@basilfawlty89 damn! Space spot?

@Unlearn nah,first the elbow, then the wrist.
