Out of Hockey A While

[DavidT 11]

Wednesday nights game ended not so well. Ended up with a broken left leg. Tibia broke above the ankle and fibula snapped below the knee.

Dont remember much about what happened. Partial breakaway into offensive zone, next thing I know is I have someone falling on me and feeling my leg snap. Followed by an agonizing scream. Some say I was horse collared others maybe incidental. All I know is it hurt.

But now I get handicapped parking, a cool flight card, and room service.

Hang in there! Sounds like you have it worse than I do. On Jan 13th I was cross-checked with about 3 minutes left in the game as I circled the other team's net with the puck. I was crossing over and had most weight on my left leg. Heard/felt a pop. Surgery was Friday the 15th of Jan, lol. Steel plate and 4 screws later I'm hobbling around on crutches. I got the 14 staples out a week ago today, and go back on Feb 23rd for my next visit. Hopefully at that point I can put weight on the leg. I think the big thing will be to get range of motion and strength back. Don't let it get to you... it just takes time to heal!

Definitely plan on following doctors and the Physical therapists orders to a T. I cant lose skating and playing hockey.
