Bummer! Good luck man. I'm glad I got one or two runs in with you anyway.

Aw Dave, sorry to hear it! Hope you're well enough to get an Idaho trip in this year - looking up for a big water year. Give Gary E a call - i believe he's wrecked 3 of 4 limbs in the past couple years - maybe he has some creative ways to spend the down time. Best wishes for a speedy recovery! I'll be in CO for a month or so this spring, maybe meet up for a beer? -claire

Did it hurt???

Dave,
Yeah, it's probably a crass question, but I couldn't resist. I've broken around 5 bones let alone other crap, and none of them hurt (at least initially). I just knew that I'd done something really wrong/stupid and that I needed to get to the ER fast before it really did start to hurt.

Still - shattering your heel into 10 pieces - where is it on the scale?
1 = hurt feelings
10 = Enduring "The Hills" marathon

Hope you heal quick. I second the Dale's PA.

Hey, sorry to hear my man. I know how it is to not be a cripple for 3 months. Here's the 3 things that really helped me through my recovery.
3) booze
2) weed
1) joox.net (free movie site that you can download movies off of)

This movie site was essential. They update new movies all the time and sometimes even have movies before they come out in theaters. You might need to download the plugin to view them, and to download them you need to first download the "vlc media player"

Hope you feel better.

Ouch!

Wow, that really sucks Dave!

At least you got half the season in before you got hurt. Now you've got an excuse to sit at home and drink beer for a while!
Heal fast, boating season isn't that far away.
If you get bored, give us a call. We'll come drink some Dale's with ya'.

Workman's comp! TAKE IT TO THE MAN... Unless you are the man. Sounds like someone fucked up to put you in that situation.

Thanks. I am the man in this case anyway. There is no question that it was my own fault. Comp would be nice, but I have no regrets that I have not been paying 14 cents on top of every dollar I pay myself.
