KK --

I'm just now reading about your acrobatic foibles off your porch yesterday and the resulting bodily injury and PAIN you incurred. OUCH! I'm so sorry.

I'm glad to read that the bloody murderous screams of pain have subsided to the status of manslaughter, and the pain is semi-tolerable at this point.

But the injury shouldn't be ignored just because it hurts a teensy bit less than when it initially occurred. My sentiments are with everyone else, that you should (stop clenching your jaws in pain and) have it examined posthaste so that your butt-kicking abilities are impaired for only the shortest period of time possible.

And have a mechanic check out that knee while you're at it, too.

Fingers crossed for a good report. Hugs.

Unfortunately, intelligence doesn't necessarily equate with goodness, caring, manners, respect, understanding, empathy, conscience, morality or soul.



Sociopaths are usually very intelligent.



to those of whom you speak.

[Sarcasm]. Oh how I love having to go to 4-5 supermarkets just so I can buy sugar, butter and cooking oil. I specially love having to go through a 2 hour queue just so I can pay for the 1 or 2 items of each I'm allowed to buy. [/sarcasm]

thanks guys!
You should be out consulting, a physio does not have the competence nor the equipment to make a correct assessment of your injury, see a doc!

Intelligence has no bearing on the state of a conscience. I know idiots who are good and genious' who are bad to the bone. I never mess with anyone more intelligent that I am. That might be why I'm mostly alone...

Spent the morning at the hospital's orthopedic clinic.

They took out my cast, had my leg radiographied, made me a temporary removable cast and gave me a same day appointment to a prosthetics clinic where they made a casting of my leg to make a removeable brace. It should be ready next tuesday. Oh, and they took out the pin that was sticking out. Urgh! All of it covered by the Québec medical system. Pain included...

I asked the doc for a copy of the radiography but he refused; that, they sell... As soon as he got out of the cubicle I took out my camera and photographed his computer screen, it's on my page. The nurse who was there saw me and said:

"Hey, you'll have to pay for that!" Obviously he was joking but I couldn't resist a joke:

"I was just taking a picture of the cobwebs next to the screen."

He felf serious and when he looked to inspect, I just broke off laughing and so did he.

I still can't put any weight on the leg but at least I can remove the cast/brace and wash the dead skin off and I can start on light slow movements for now. I'm just happy it's not a closed cast again. My calf muscle athophied to mabout half its trained size. :sigh: I've got to rebuild it all...

It must be a relief to get that cast off.

I hope you don't have any loose screws, I think I counted 13!

Did they give you that fishin' hook as a souvenir?

I asked to have it but they immediately refused. I said I wanted to make a piece of jewelry out of it but they refused again. After poking around it seems that it's a new edict from microbiologists that comes from the days of mad cow disease...
I have some explaining to do.

Apparently, from studies of the mad cow disease they found out that the responsible organism is a prion. It's smaller than a bacteria and smaller than a virus. They know that it's also responsible for the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease So far, there's next to nothing known about how to totally control it safely. They're not taking chances and destroy anything that's been inside a body.

I wonder if you will get a DonJoy brace? that's what I had, custom made titanium, yada yada. it's REALLY comfortable, I skied with it with no problem at all! now comes the (ahem) fun bit... re-habbing that leg. I don't think I ever completely regained my muscles from the first time around. I'm doing a lot of weight training and pilates now to build it back up

Keep on improving yvan! As you shed the hardware, think how you'll be able to boast of your inexplicable weight loss while convalescing?
