Tales from the ER


Feb 7, 2021, 3:23 PM

took kids sledding as we have more snow than Mother Nature should allow. It was the last run as we were so cold. My daughter (3) accidentally lets go of her sled. I didn’t want to have to walk back up so I took off after it to grab it. As I was running, I slid to grab it and my left leg went in the opposite direction. POP!!

I have 2 stress fractures in my fibula and my ankle basically looks like a bomb went off inside. I am toast. I was supposed to be skiing Steamboat in a week for 5 days. Nope.

So here I lay. In the ER.....on Super Bowl Sunday with a pain from knee down that is about an 8/10.

They already called me an ortho doc and he will see me first thing in morning.

So how is your day going?

I broke my femur in several places 4 years ago playing kickball in a Carolina Panthers charity event. Luke K was on my team and Montell Jordan. #### that was a ###### next 6 months. Have a titanium rod and 4 large screws in my leg. Still can’t sprint like before and never will be able to.
