Wow Tom! I must not have made the headlines in your area!

On Sept 27 at the Northern Sportsnationals I walked out the back of the Div 3 tech trailer and slipped on the door/ramp. Danny Gracia took me to the hospital where it was determined I had broken my right leg just above the ankle. I was operated on the next day. A plate and 8 screws were put in making me the bionic techman. I forgot to ask the surgeon if the metal was mild steel or chromoly.

Travis! Does it say in the rule book that this kind of material is class legal for a person of your stature, class? Get well soon . I'm coming back John Lang!

I keep having this reoccurring vision from the operating room. Just as the anesthesia was being administered, I seem to remember the surgeon's saying "we can make him better, stronger, and faster..."

But then I was also on some good pain medicine at the time.

Okay, the permanent cast is finally off. I cannot begin to tell everyone how great that feels.

Now its the removable walking cast for six weeks. This boot looks like something you would use to walk around on the moon. No cane but ten days of phasing out the crutches.

And finally I am allowed to drive again! I guess that means now I can drive myself to therapy.

Travis, I would hope that the surgeon is not using heat treated material, LOL
