Re: Ouch !Thank you Rob. Yeah, it's pretty serious, a compound fracture of my tibia and fibula on my right leg. I got a titanium rod from my knee to my ankle now. Hopefully, I'll be walking again by September.

Re: Ouch !Welcome to the Titanium Body Parts Club ;)
When I broke my foot two years ago and was in a non-weight-bearing cast I went to the gym and worked out anything I could on the weight machines .. kept me a little saner. Wishing you a trouble-free recovery !

Re: holy sh.t!Hi Radek,
It happened in the Eldorado Creek Basin on July 2nd. A mistake on my part, really just happy to be alive. I'll write up a full trip report soon.
Talk to you later.

Re: Dude!Thanks a lot Brian. I think I have watched Sportscenter about 25 times in the last 2 weeks, and I don't really even like sports that much. :-)

Re: Dude!When you are up for some beers, we should plan an SP get-together in your neck of the woods so you can get out!
Best wishes, man. Hang in there, you'll be back before you know it.

F&#@!Dude... I just saw this. How are you doing? I am hoping that you're back on your feet. Sending tons of positive energy your way

Re: F&#@!Hi Misha. Sorry about the late response, I haven't logged into SP in months. Thanks for the positive words.
I fractured my leg is multiple places and had to get a titanium rod inserted. About 8 weeks on crutches and another 3 months of rehab, and I am hiking again. Just doing some really easy stuff to get back in shape at the moment. Probably going to stick with scrambling / hiking, and maybe some easier climbing in the future. I was very fortunate to have stopped where I did.
Take it easy.
Martin
