skymama 37 #1 March 25, 2004 But, I'm posting them anyway because so many people have asked how I'm doing. Elfanie and Sunshine are definitely worse off than I am because I haven't needed any surgery yet, but here are the pictures of my little sprain. Damn gopher holes. I'm hoping to be able to put weight on it by this weekend.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #10 March 25, 2004 Arghhhhhh...that looks bad. (((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))) I'm so sorry, sweetie. Those pics remind me of when I hurt my ankle a couple of years ago. It was at work. It was just before the building was closed. I was hurrying by my pattern-maker's table and had a 100 lb. roll of manila (for patterns...about 6 ft. tall) fall BAM!!! on my leg just above my ankle. My whole leg went numb! I had a limp for months and the whole bottom portion of my leg and foot went black and swelled like crazy. I still have a huge bruised lump/knot there. Andrea, I hope that you feel better soon...miss ya! Edited: Meli's right...sexy toe nail polish, Andrea!!! It's quite fetching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZoneRat 0 #12 March 25, 2004 Auugh! I'm so sorry that happened to ya. Damn Gopher holes is right. A friend of mine snapped his tibia in a hole visiting Sabastion several months back.

ChasingBlueSky 0 #14 March 25, 2004 That sucks - make sure you stretch it out once it starts to heal! I am still trying to get full mobility back in my ankle after my sprain (looked like your foot) from a drunken trip on a roap swing over a river. Gopher holes suck big time! I caught one right in the middle of the main landing area at Rantoul right in front of everyone and twisted my knee. I did a nice face plant and attracted EVERYONES attention. Have you gone to the Dr for it?_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

skymama 37 #15 March 25, 2004 QuoteHave you gone to the Dr for it? Freeflynate was kind enough to stop jumping and take me to the ER where they took x-rays. I have an appointment with an Ortho on Monday. I mostly want to know what I need to be doing to get back as much mobility in it that I can, so I'm looking forward to the visit.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mayberry 0 #16 March 25, 2004 OUCH!!! That looks painful. YEARS ago (85) when I was in the Army stationed in Germany I SEVERELY sprained my left ankle one morning while running. It was 0-dark-thirty, I was hung over like a big dog from the night before, wasn't paying attention & caught the edge of a 6" deep pothole. Down I went, tripped up the rest of the guys behind me as well, we looked like dominoes!! I swear I could see it swell up before my eyes. Damn that hurt, especially a few days later. I feel your pain!! Look on the bright side....now you have lots of time to PW!! Anyways, hope you heal up soon!! See Ya!! DonDon Here's to friends!

Unstable 9 #25 March 26, 2004 Hey Hey hey, that's looking dang good!!! I hope it feels better and you can get back in the air again. Gophers have taken their fare share of broken ankles around here where I jump, but we usually find a creative and amusing way to end their little lives.... For what it matters (and it doesn't...)
