obviously, this completely changes my lifestyle! no acro, no doofs, and certainly no sandworm riding.as it stands, my right tibia and fibia had cracked backwards and displaced before impacting at a bad angle - the only way my foot is connected to the rest of the skeleton is via a metal rod that connects most of the length of my tibia bone via screws. Even putting any weight at all on my legs is out of the question for ages..
it's gotten a bit hard to be chirpy now that i can't stand or care for myself, but at least my friends/missus come to visit and listen to my tales of woe
.just to youse know in case yer wondering why i'll be dropping off the radar.
thanks go out to pyroptix and captn_shiner for being my rescuers - your kindess was incredible.
*** EDIT for xrayness ***
before surgery (the blob is the plaster) and after the rod is inserted.

I log on to HoP for the first time in many weeks, and my hero has fallen.
I regret that i never came down to edinburgh to leech off your knowledge.
I regret that those of us in awe over Joy of Staff must wait alot longer before we can enjoy a second installment.
But mostly i empathize with you.

Never broke one yet
Sorry to hear it Bender. Look on the bright side though, you get to take a break from work/classes(?) and staffing for some inner reflection. Not to mention ya have plenty of time to post here! Im sure youll be back to your staff in no time (casts...pfft). Good luck and get well soon.
Let's turn those old bridges we crossed into ashes.
We'll blaze a new trail,
and torch the rough patches.

eh Mr Left leg is totally sore now from desperate-looking one leg twirling - Mr right leg is so strophied from not being energetic that it feels soooo heavy when i try to lift it.
Hopefully it's strength will return in time for the next round of Circles of Light submissions(!)

I still cannot run - I cannot jump, and there is pain if i twirl or even if the weather gets cold (titanium expansion!)
but i have no choice and have been forced to develop my twirling in a non-acrobatic direction
I recently fell off a ledge after watching infected mushroom and couldn't walk for a week - but at this stage, i can restart arcobatix/martial arts by Late September 2005!
Who knows, i may have grandkids by then.

erm whichever cometh first.
argh this injury - to be in recouperation for so long that I find myself constantly tired due to my out of shape musckles not being efficient at all when I go and do stuff and thing. Nevertheless, good or bad, I accept this as my path and will do my best. COL 5 will definitely not see me in any acrobatics at all, so my routine will be quite different from the staff video I used to host.
To new directions, eh?
ps vaporloc, yoo be da man!! it's inspirational that you're still in love with firetwirling!!
