Ah, good, I see Gus is on. Hey Gus, you’re no longer the newest injured lizard. Managed to break my right tibia today - a “displaced fracture”.

Was cutting tree branches. Thought I was being safe - put in an anchor line on the branch, made sure I had two feet of extension ladder beyond the branch.

Anchor line let go, branch climbed three feet, I fell ten feet. I tried to roll as 30 year old instinct took over, and I actually did it right — except that I dropped into mud which seized my right foot and held it in place.

Fortunately the break did not puncture the skin. But this jobless, insuranceless man is about to go through a lot of fun (///).

Anyway, the most amusing thing is that one of the first thoughts that went through my head after the “snap” was wondering if I’d one-upped you with my stupidity (grin). So of course I have to share.

Oh shit. I feel your pain man. How is it? Pain killers? They suggest surgery?

Damn, hope this doesn’t become an LGF epidemic. :|
