targa912 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Ken slipped on some ice and broke his left ankle Thought I was the only one who does that. Did that last year!! It is painful!! Mine was from roller blading on the ice!! (not really. Helga ran after a rabbit and dumped me but that doesn't sound cool!) Just take it easy and recoup Ken!! Bob W.

Lin Evans Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hey Ken,A good bottle of Scotch always works for me! You can skip the othe liquids and get pain relief at the same time... LOL. Sorry about the fall, that ice is always a p.i.t.a. for me this time of year. I usually fall at least two times but have been luck and never hurt anything more than my "dignity" - HA! Seriously, have a great Christmas and New Year and let folks wait on you for a change. It's a long recovery time when you get compound fractures. Many years ago a 20 ton transformer on a crane which was traversing faster than the operator should have took my right arm through a steel building wall and crushed my right wrist. I was in a cast for 13 weeks and finally cut it off with my pocket knife when I got my 18 wheeler stuck in a drift going over Loveland Pass in a blizzard and had to shovel it out. I thought the arm and wrist were fine because I could shift with it and lift, etc., but when the cast came off I could barely hold my arm up because of muscle atrophy. So be careful and keep it elevated to keep the swelling down. It will take time but eventually you'll be good as new (or at least as good as before the fall).....Best regards,Linthks for all your "cards and letters"it is a week ago that it happened -- hope Santa brings some early pain remover - had to stop any extra liquids -- wife cant wash my pants fast enough now i know why they shoot horses that break legshopefully the new year will bring some pain reliefthks ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Ken -I always try to learn from others. So, be aware that even while you are down, you are doing some good by reminding the rest of us what to avoid. As Lin suggests, those of us that have ice available in its natural state have great opportunity for unintended movement. I'm not going to mention that the ground always comes up faster as we get older! Carry on Ken, we're all cheering for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hi, Ken,We just got back from a week in the sun in Mexico (Cancun area) so hadn't heard about your mishap on the ice.For recuperation I can heartily recommend a couple of weeks' rest at one of the "all-inclusive" resorts there along the beach. The staff at these resorts are only too willing to wait on people like you and me (in our age group, that is) hand-and-foot, at all hours of the day if need be. And the only ice you will slip on will be the ice from your tequila sunrise.All the best, and Feliz Navidad, mi amigo - hope your recovery is speedy!

dabbler Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 just a small note Maureen; after reading your post, i clicked on your links and it appears that the bottom linkwww.digital-av.co.uk resource information for digital AVisn't working; i'm sure the fix will be simple but i thought i'd mention it since i'm sure you'll want others to visit that website.best wishes,dabbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
