So I'll give you a quick story since everyone always wants to know what happened.
So Jan 17th I was tearing some stockade fence down at my home. In the process of this I managed to put a 4 1/2 screw through my RIGHT foot. Quick trip to the after hours clinic for some X-rays , Tetanus , and antibiotic oh and some pain pills and on my way. Fast forward 8 days later ( the first day it was somewhat comfortable to walk on ) I am coming down an extension ladder , the ladder collapses and I mess up my LEFT foot. Another trip to the ER and more X-Rays and they send me off to a specialist. Well today the orthopedic Dr looks at it and says I don't do that kind of surgery and says I need a CT and he's going to send me to a different Dr. Not positive it needs surgey just yet until I get the CT done but from his info it's kinda looking that way. Just seeing if any of you guys or gals have had a surgery like this to kinda prep me for what to expect as far as down time after surgery , physical therapy and all that. Oh yeah , as far as what is messed up he's thinking the top of the Calcaneus and possibly the bone right above it.

A friend shattered his while setting up a tree stand last youth season. Tibia actually went through his heel bone. He came to OKC for surgery. I'll get the docs name if you want it. Supposed to be the goto guy for this type of surgery. Anyway he missed about four months of work but seems to be OK now.
