51jay Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Yep! This grumpy old man fell off a ladder on Sunday. My left heelbone is now in 9 separate pieces. I will be non weight bearing on crutches for next 6 weeks maybe longer, then partial weight bearing for another 6 to 10 weeks. Ortho cheerfully tells me it will be around 18 months befor i'm walking normally again. Happy New Year Jay. Move to Boonah is postponed. Those guys who have used my place for repairing or working on their cars....it is still available, but, I will be pretty much only able to offer advice, no hands on stuff for the near future.

locutus_of_bris Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hey Jay, Well I didn't expect you to do anything that serious in lieu of your next track surprise. Hope you enjoy the time (as much as possible) and relax a bit. I look forward to seeing you back at the track (on the track), and will no doubt be hastling you about the harness setup again soon when I get back to it.

MM2death Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Sorry to hear man....stuff like that can be real depressing. My first time on crutches lasted 3 months...but doing tricks on them in front of your friends gets old pretty quick....
