The Biker family (Babe and Dude) need vibes

Recommended Posts

OK, so you all know I broke my femur a month ago.

So Saturday, I get a call from BikerDude (my motorcycle racing hubby), and guess what?

He broke his tibia, fibula, and two bones in his ankle on saturday.

After you're finished laughing at the mental picture of the two of us gimping around the house together (don't worry, I laughed...), please send some vibes/prayers our way...it's going to be a tough couple of months.

Not just for healing, either. I'm pretty upset about this, since it's been just over a year since he broke both ankles. This will probably be the 2nd year in a row that his injury will keep us from our big vacation that we've been planning for 2 years...So I'm depressed/angry right now, too.

Thanks y'all.

Already sent vibes from the Women's Forum, but it can't hurt to send more from Talk Back.

Good vibes coming at ya both from Colorado.

Hope that joke makes you laugh and make you feel better.

Andi, it's hard not to have a little-bitty rueful laugh, but all the vibes in the world, and you have my permission (I know that's what you were waiting for) to kick him in his good leg for ruining the vacation :(. Yeah, like you'd really do that!

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Thanks everyone.

Just a little update. I think God doesn't want us going to Australia. ;)

Turns out his injury is pretty serious, and will take 6-8 months to heal. And he'll probably never have full range of motion in his ankle. the fibula is broken and the two halves are overlapping now, he fractured the tibia, has a small fracture in his ankle bone, but the worst is he shattered the bone that is right beneath the tib-fib in the ankle (have no idea what it's called) and the pieces are floating everywhere in there. He'll probably have to have some of his ankle bones fused in the future, but they are going to start with an external fixation to put the long bones back in place.

So he's in for at least two surgeries and wearing a star-trek-looking brace with pins into his leg for a while. :(

More vibes needed than ever, I guess.
