I broke an ankle one time. Doc put a cast on my ankle that ran up to my knee. It was before I got married and I had a roommate that liked ot water his house plants every once in a while. I jokingly said, "Can I water your foot?" My cast was open at the toes. He tips his watering pot with it's long skinny spout over my toes and then quickly jerks it back. Well, the water in the spout did not jerk back and wound up going down my cast at the open toes. My leg was wet for what must have been another week until they took the cast off. I'm trying to say that I had a week of pure misery with my wet lower leg. Just wanted you to share in some of the joys of life.
Man, that's rough. Glad to hear that the surgery went well. Also, while breaking your leg sucks, especially in the first game of your senior year, be thankful that it's not a knee or something that could be really tough to come back from. Get well, train, get to college and walk on next season. Who knows what happens from there. Good luck & best wishes.
Thanks man. Before this had some people say he had D2 talent. Maybe he’ll play somewhere D3. I know he still wants to keep playing.
John, sorry to here about this for you and for Jr. May be too soon to say, but I'd like to point out that this is the type of thing that helps him become a better man, dad and leader for the next 90 years, not just worrying about the next 4.
When I see your Avatar Photo, I picture a young Walton unfolding himself from the rear seat of the Datsun he drove out on the field to greet the kids on my Pop Warner football team. He was quite a hit that day, football practice just a little more fun.
Sorry to hear that HCP. Hope he heals quickly and stays with a positive attitude. It seems like he has a good support system him around him
My father use to say that it takes a lot of bumps, bruises, cuts, painful accidents to make a man. Whenever I got an owy I used to think about that and suddenly my hurt body didn't hurt so bad.
