I broke my leg (twice) while on vacation in FL. Â
I've been working on making copies of yet more paperwork this morning so it's extra fresh on my mind. Â STILL fighting the lawsuit. |
OUCH!!! That sucks.

Wasn't it painful enough the first time? |
Actually that's a Buffett reference. But I did break both the tibia and fibula. ER doc said only one, but she kept examining the x-ray and saying, "did i miss something?" Ortho confirmed both breaks. He wanted to cast it over the knee, but knew it would be next to impossible to fly home that way (did I mention I was by myself when this happened?) so he put me in a fracture boot and sent me back to Cali to have it taken care of. Not a fun way to fly.

That's What I Thought The First Time That I Read It!! |
Oddly enough, I guess it is not uncommon to break the other leg while one is in a cast and you're on crutches. My doc drilled into my head that if I was falling, to make sure I fell on the leg in the cast so I wouldn't end up with two broken legs. It's not easy to program your brain to do that, especially when you're not allowed to bear ANY weight on the broken leg.

So you broke your leg once in two places. Braking Tib-Fib is most common. Really hard to break one and not the other. By yourself as in no witnesses. Having no witness is only good when your breaking somebody elses legs.
