Crap! When I tore up my ankle a month or so ago, the doc said "at your
age, sometimes it's better to break it than mess up the tendons".. I
think he was wrong as although I do have day where it hurts real bad
and even falls out from under me, I only missed a week or so of
riding.. Good luck to you, I am sending good thoughts and karma your
way.. ;) And hey, it can't be all that bad, you still have a Husky;)
