Well, I'm officially stuck in the Lumina for a while...busted ankle while playing beer league softball. Got caught in a pickle b/w 3rd and home. Made it back to 3rd (safe!), but tore up my hoof in the process. Can't very well drive a 5spd with one leg...doh! Fortunately it's not broken, but I'll be hobblin for a while.

Smooth- Bummer, hurts worse being not broken I'm told..
I know the feeling, from long ago..Same R. foot too.

Try & take it easy & should heal faster..

 

That's pretty much what the Doc said...I'm fortunate that it wasn't worse. Thanks for the thoughts and wishes.

 

Ha ha ha! That's what you get for saying it's fugly!!!!!

Just kidding!!!

 

Back in '87 I tried to turn a double into triple, hit second base with my left foot and the next thing I knew, I was on the ground with excruciating pain coming from my left ankle. Ambulance ride to the ER later, I find out my Achilles tendon had blown out in two places. Smooth, my foot, ankle and lower leg looked just like yours except mine turned a wide variety of colors over the following days. They wanted to operate but couldn't guarentee it would be any better than it would be without surgery.

Best advice I can give having BTDT, DO NOT PUSH IT. Give it whatever time it takes to heal. Like someone said this is worse than a break, BTDT too.

I was waiting on your reply Kid...guess that's what I get

 

I was worried about my achilles too, but they said it was fine. Mostly tendons on the side of my foot. This sux

 

Rob,
Old guys Rule! Five years from now that will be a rundown between home and 3rd, you were able to score and win the game!!!
Heal quickly!

 

It might've been different if we weren't getting killed (ended up losing 13-1 but went 7 innings!). I was trying to play hero and not get another out. Apparently, according to the runner on 2nd and 3rd base coach, I shoulda just ran it in as they bobbled the ball at home. When I hesitated to go back, he got a handle of it and got me in the pickle.
