Great!,,,not only am I hurt but I'm OLD!...lol....good advise though...I did have the bone dens. test last January and all is strong...I also take about every supplement known to man...just a freak bad foot placement combined with bad wave set...
When I told my mom I was injured and how she was nice enough to remind me that it took two years of ballet lessons for me to learn to skip...so I guess I'm , hurt , Old and clumsy....

I wish you a speedy recovery. Your luck seems as bad as mine.

Broken foot update!
I saw the surgeon today and the bad news is I broke 3 bones not 2
the good news is that it doesnt appear I did any major damage to the ligaments or tendons so i don't need surgery..I will be in a cast for 5 weeks then moved to a walking boot (I could then go back to swimming) and will be able to dive again in about 12 weeks!
It could have been a lot worse,,if I'd needed surgery I would have been in a cast for about 6 months!

I do hope you will recover quickly. Ankle and foot injuries are never fun but try to make the most of it!
Wow. I feel for you. I really hope you heal quickly and well. Now you have to start practicing the recliner-honey-can-you-get- me-(insert all sorts of items, food, drink here) techniques. If you groan or moan while doing it, he moves faster..
Seriously, get well soon.
