OMG. What a bummer! I hope the surgeon got everything fixed up OK, you heal
up quickly and without any permanent damage to your ankle. Any clue how
this could happen? From your report, it seems that there wasn't that much
force involved, was it?

Get well soon!

Damnit Tami!
I'm sorry to hear of your mishap (and also want more details).
Please let us know how the surgery comes out, and I also echo the
usefulness of a bone density test.

Deb says to get well soon.

Best Regards and Healing,

Jim

Jeez, I take a break from the list for a couple days and Tami gets
killed jumping a water bar! Oh wait... I guess that's not so
unusual... she rides waaay more than me... and it *is* Tami, after all
;-p Did Eric have to zip tie the Pampera back together again before
you rode back to camp?

But seriously, VERY sorry to hear this. If anyone deserves to be
healthy and out enjoying the trails it's definitely you.

>They gave me Vicodin which makes me puke..

Me too. But I figured out how to fix that (much to my wife's
chagrin). When I check in and they ask if I'm allergic to anything I
ALWAYS say "Vicodin."

Lmk which of those 4-6 weeks you & Eric are coming to visit and
I'll get to work on the wheelchair accessible ramp. We can barbecue
and watch Crusty videos with the volume turned off. :-)

As usual, I see who the two winners were. The injury will heal.
