    Trimalleolar

    I could have gone quite a bit longer without knowing the meaning of this word.

    For those of you that have never come across these syllables, it means that you've broken all three bones in your ankle, and it hurts like hell. I'll be hippety hopping about on crutches for the next 8 weeks, maybe more.

    I used to think that I was basically pretty fit. But ambulating around on the left leg just shows that I'm not as fit as I thought.

    Ok. Go ahead and ask. I explained it at least 100 times to the clinic staff, then the hospital staff, then the family. I was on an 8 foot ladder, missed a step and took one really big step down six feet. I knew it was bad when my foot was pointing in a distinctly unnatural direction.

    I guess that means that I'm grounded. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Ouch!! Sounds very painful. I hope you have plenty of sick leave banked up as it sounds like you are going to spend a lot of time browsing Copytechnet from end to end.

    I almost joined you in the A&E ward on the week end with a similar ladder mishap. Fortunately I was on the bottom rung when I missed my footing, unfortunately I had a open 4 litre tin in my hand at the time. Spent the next hour hosing paint off the neighbours fence.

    Hi BlackCat, don't know if this is kama, co-incidence or just the gods having a bad joke, while I'm replying to your original post about breaking your ankle,this ad scrolled across the screen. I hope it gives you a giggle as I burst out laughing.

    Sorry to here of your mishap!! I was in the urgent care day after Xmas. WE came home from the inlaws Xmas eve, I went out on the patio to play kick the ball with the dog, Fell backwards on the ice. At 6'4 I fell like a rock on the left arm. Xray's were negative but the pain was nasty!!

    It's a whole lot better since they immobilized the leg. There are still some pinched nerves and blood vessels. I get relief by finding just the right position, for a short time. I got 4 hours straight sleep by pulling up a chair just below bed level. =^..^=

    Sorry about your injury. One bright thing though, after eight weeks, you should have better upper body strength.

    Ouch! It hurts just reading about it!
    Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure just like the 6 million dollar man, you'll be back bigger, stronger, and faster!
