So IOhh broke my leg on valentines day.

[bigjosh]

I have never broken a bone before. I was walking down my stairs to my driveway and I guess when I had shoveled and salted I missed a stair.

My foot started to slip and I started to fall backwards, then my foot hit the dry pavement and stuck, which in turn basically folded my leg in half.

I am pretty well incapacitated. I was wondering if anyone had some ideas of a new hobby I could pick up while sitting on the couch 23 hours a day.

Ohh, I have copys of the xrays if anyone wants to see them. Pretty gruesome though.

[TimBone]

Breaking Bad(no pun intended), or Boardwalk Empire marathon.

Broke my leg doing a back flip on roller skates at 14. Most pain I've ever experienced.

[ThaVirus]

Fap your pain away, brother. Empty those nuts.

[HoneyBadger]

Good luck falling asleep in about 2 weeks.

Breaking Bad(no pun intended), or Boardwalk Empire marathon.

seen them all. i was thinking about starting to watch house of cards on netflix. but i'd really like to do something useful.

Im a welder by trade, my other hobbies are working on cars, building things and drawing.

I guess i could start drawing again, havent really had time to do that for a while.

[patteeu]

Have you considered suing the homeowner?

J/K, hope you heal quickly and well. I recommend reading a few books while you're laid up.

[J Diddy]

Fucking pussy. I walked a god damned mile 2 days after heart surgery.

My advice is to quit being a giant fucking pussy, get a cane, and shovel snow better.



BTW, i hope you get to feeling better soon.

If so, please wait until tomorrow to make your announcement so you don't step on Ellen Page's big day.

[Buehler445]

Suck man.

Honestly, if you're looking to better yourself do some personal finance research. Lots of free stuff on the internet that can get you basic lessons, but quick books and enter all your bank statements. Or if you're cheap you can start with a spreadsheet.

Figure out where your money is going and then apply strategies to stretch it further. You'll probably need it if you're going to be laid up awhile. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

All the best.

God you poor bastard. Uhmmm, if you're into video games, go buy something that'll take you a while. GTAV, etc. I heard Skyrim is supposed to take weeks to beat.
I've never played it.
Maybe pick up a rock collection like Hank on Breaking Bad?

[bigjosh]

thanks fellas. i should have known better than to ask the night crew. lmao. I think i am going to do some drawing for now. Although murderball has my interest. haha.

i have this idea of making custom shift knobs. I made one for my car and i get compliments on it all the time. so maybe i will do something like that.

Ooh, Skyrim would totally work if you've not played. It's a huge game, you can easily put in 100+ hours of gameplay. And it's addictive as hell.

Skyrim owned my life for the first 2-3 months after it came out.

Welcome to the world of being immobile. I'm also on oxycodone I'm finally shitting normally but I'm more mobile than I was...be careful though if you really sit for 23 hours you can develop blood clots. I had a PE complication and have to take blood thinners now. So good luck man.

I didn't poop for 7 days when I was on my painkillers when I broke my arm.

Heh. That's pretty funny..

I was always about and about as a kid. Climbing trees, playing sports, wrestling friends, riding bikes, and all kinds of weird shit. When I first learned how to ride a bike, I skipped training wheels. I learned on one of those bikes that you just pedal backwards to stop but didn't get that part of it down at first. I'd just "stop" by jumping off the bike at whatever speed I was going LMAO I also played organized sports in high school.

How did you break your arm?

Climbing a rope, arm got twisted and broke in a couple places. Not my finest day. Took 6 months before I could pick up any weight more than 10 pounds.

[KCrockaholic]

Don't get fat. You won't need as much food now.

[bigjosh]

Don't get fat. You won't need as much food now.


I'm already a little overweight. That's one of my concerns honestly. I'm going to talk to the dr. About doing upper body free weights and core work so I don't gain a ton of weight.

They also said that there is about 90% chance I tore ligaments as we'll. having MRI on Tuesday if swelling is down enough. So I may be layed up for a while

Yeah just do your best to eat clean(er) foods than you have before this. Since exercise will be difficult it'll come down to just eating better and a little less. Cut back on sugar intake as much as possible.

[DRU]

I second the mention of a guitar (or some sort of musical instrument) if you're not already into that. You can spend a lot of time on it and it's something you can really fall in love with.

If you've ever been interested in computer programming / web development, graphic design, or anything like that it's a perfect time for that, too. There are loads of training materials online that you can follow along with and learn all sorts of geek skills that can make you some good money.

[Simply Red]

after 3 knee surgeries I was back to work in about a year

Oh just to let you know, you will always know you broke that leg... I have phantom pains in the exact spot it was broken and nerve damage on the top of my shin... I can't feel the skin on top of my shin.

Been 15 years since it happened in April... Good Luck

Better to do it now while you will have plenty of time to heal , You can't walk anyway.

Good luck with surgery.

[Steron]

Wow man. That's crazy. I hope you come through the surgery OK.

Take up knitting?

[Chaunceythe3rd]

As Mecca warned, watch out for the blood clots. Any pain or cramping in the feet or calves or thighs can be a sign that clots have formed and are restricting blood flow to you leg muscles and nerves. If this occurs, get to an ER immediately and make sure a doctor checks for reduced pulses in your lower legs. Sometimes blood thinners will rectify the condition, sometimes surgery (thrombectomy) and sometimes the clots may release and move to your brain or heart causing a stroke or death. Don't take any chances with this possibility.

How do I avoid this

[patteeu]

How do I avoid this

Move around occasionally.

[Sassy Squatch]

Next time you and your wife have rough anal sex tell her not to bend your legs back behind your head.

[GloryDayz]

So the fapping didn't help the ligaments? Tough break!



All joking aside, good luck with the surgery.

[Chaunceythe3rd]

How do I avoid this

Move around occasionally to stimulate circulation and take an aspirin a day. Sometimes a baby (81 mg) aspirin is fine. Just ask your doctor.

[Chiefnj2]

I'm in a similar situation as you. Complete tear of my acl, grade 2 mcl and 2 fractures to my tibia. Did it about 12 days ago.

I am not sure what the ligaments are called. I broke the fibia (spelling) the bottom part of leg behind the shin. And all of the ligaments between the leg and ankle were torn. I am having surgery tomorrow morning to place a bracket and screws in the bone to keep it aligned.

Not sure how I missed this thread, but I had a similar injury (torn ligaments, broken tibia, fibula, femur). They put my knee back together just to stabilize it with an external fixator. I had to wait for 5 months before they went back in to reconstruct it. After my 2nd knee surgery I had to sit in a constant passive motion machine for 23 hours a day for 2 weeks with my leg stapled from my shin to my quad.

Glad you made it through, it definitely gets better.

Just a quick update:

Its been 4 weeks since my surgery, the cast came off today and i am now in a walking boot(which i am still not allowed to put pressure on yet)

It still has to be elevated basically all the time, which sucks.

I am starting physical therapy next week.

Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel anyways.

ohh, and i havent taken any painkillers in 2 weeks, i know a few of you guys mentioned that so i figured i would throw that in there.

Do what the doctors PT people say.

I know a lot of people who did too much because it felt OK or too little because it hurt that wish they would have followed directions.

[GloryDayz]

Awesome news....

[bigjosh]

Update.

Been out of the walking boot for about 4 weeks now. Been going to physical therapy. Allowed to put full weight on my leg and walking around with one crutch as a makeshift cane. Feeling good.

On a side note its amazing how much muscle deteriorates when you dont use it. My calf is just a flab of nothingness.

[Eleazar]

Nice work. Do exactly the PT they recommend, no more and no less. Most people neglect it, a few try to come back too fast... neither is good. PT is important.
