DShiznit 0 #1 December 16, 2003 I thought about putting this in the "Incidents" forum, but I thought that more would see this here and learn from my lesson. It could save your life. I consider myself lucky that a hurt ankle was all I got...... So I was at home working on the Christmas decorations with the beloved wife, as I do every year. With the weather being gorgeous like it is this time of year in Texas, we had the front door open and a child gate (the folding type) in the front door from keeping my two children (dogs) from getting out. Well, my wife was hanging some lights around the front porch/door, while I was doing the garland/lights around the garage door. The ladder was right up front againt the child gate, and I was going in/out of the house quite a bit, as was my wife because she was preparing dinner as well. So I am inside and need to go back outside for the 10th time. I step over the child gate and on to the second rung of the ladder with my right foot. As soon as I put ALL of my weight on my right foot while stepping over with my left, I slipped....... and took everything down with me (this was a 6 foot ladder). I knocked down some lights, a ladder, broke two plant pots, a small bench, everything. I was deathly afraid to look at my foot for fear that it was broken, and I didn't want to see that. My son was yelling for my wife, but I was yelling every profanity I could think of (which she probably heard over my son) to keep from crying. I have no felt pain like that in years... So she gets out there, takes off my shoe (assuring me it wasn't broken) and my GOD it was huge. So I hobble to the couch, get a pain killer, beer, and notebook (gotta play online poker) and get set up for the night. She has taken great care of me ever since. I have to go to the dr today because it is killing me. The first thing I thought of was, "what if I can't skydive for a month or so?". I was actually thinking that while laying on the front porch. Funny what runs through your head... Oh well. Funny thing is all of my co-workers' first words when they saw me Monday morning was "Skydiving, huh?" - hehe. The irony...... Summary: Christmas decorations are the devil and can kill. The End.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Nightingale 0 #3 December 16, 2003 please, please, please, follow your doctor's instructions to the letter! Sprains are worse than breaks in many ways. They hurt more, they take longer to heal, and they can involve complex connective tissue. If you don't properly let a bad sprain heal, you can end up needing surgery. I have a very nasty scar across the top of my right hand attesting to this.

That's not exactly the reassurance I was wanting to hear. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about this, and I asked him how bad the pain was to break your ankle. His reply was not as bad as a sprain. I only asked because at our DZ several weeks ago a guy landed wrong and broke his ankle. He was just sitting there in the road waiting on the ambulance. I was crying like a little two year old who dropped his sucker in the dirt. Now I am hobbling around with a cane while wearing this ski boot looking thing.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CanuckInUSA 0 #8 December 16, 2003 Several years ago I suffered a pretty severe ankle sprain when I crashed hard feet first into the board during a hockey game. I hope your injury isn't as bad as mine was which took several months to fully heal (fortunately I wasn't a skydiver at the time). Take care and watch out for those Christmas decorations.

I fell at work and sprained my ankle and tore some of the ligaments on my right ankle. The dr released me for normal activities after 2 1/2 weeks of resting it. I told him skydiving was normal for me and he said just be careful. It still hurts from time to time and still swollen a little after 3 months but doing ok... Good luck...Samantha Weaver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Tailgate 0 #10 December 16, 2003 Bummer man, I hope you heal quickly. You don't want to miss those butt cold jumps this winter. We were putting up lights outside at our place a couple of weekends ago and the ladder started going back on me. Needless to say I went down and found myself rolling and then standing. My wife looks over and says "Nice PLF".

Oh, need to be uplifting...Ok, the good news for you is that my break required 2 surgeries and a helluva lot of hardware; your sprain hopefully won't require all that! When you go to physical therapy, pay CLOSE attention to the exercises, then try to duplicate them at home as much as possible...my sprained thumb of August (yeah, that was a bad landing...) cost me over $500 for phys therapy AFTER insurance said they had paid all they're gonna... I'm about to get injections because it still is lacking mobility, so KEEP UP with your exercises! I slacked off and I'm now about to pay the price... Jaye doesn't like needles...

ACMESkydiver 0 #18 December 16, 2003 Yeowch...I broke my ankle a few years back, took the better part of a year to heal...thank God I wasn't a skydiver back then, I wouldn't have been able to handle it! Oh, need to be uplifting...Ok, the good news for you is that my break required 2 surgeries and a helluva lot of hardware; your sprain hopefully won't require all that! When you go to physical therapy, pay CLOSE attention to the exercises, then try to duplicate them at home as much as possible...my sprained thumb of August (yeah, that was a bad landing...) cost me over $500 for phys therapy AFTER insurance said they had paid all they're gonna... I'm about to get injections because it still is lacking mobility, so KEEP UP with your exercises! I slacked off and I'm now about to pay the price... Jaye doesn't like needles... So do better than I did!! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #19 December 16, 2003 tell your doctor you WANT physical therapy, that you're an athlete (skydiver) and need to make sure it heals right. a lot of times docs don't prescribe PT even when its warranted for sprains. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DShiznit 0 #20 December 17, 2003 Went to the dr last night, I have to wear this damn thing for a week. My wife snuck around the corner real quick this morning while I was getting ready, hence the bad pic. Deal with it. Should be able to jump in 2.5 weeks though! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reginald 0 #23 December 22, 2003 QuoteFunny thing is all of my co-workers' first words when they saw me Monday morning was "Skydiving, huh?" - hehe. The irony...... Ouch, the irony hurts more than the injury I bet. Get well my friend."We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."
