Ugly Broken Ankle

[mkiogima]

Six years ago playing Men's League softball, I slide into third base too late and the toe on my left foot hit the bag and my butt hit my ankle and popped it around. Broke both of the bones in the lower half of my leg. The buddy of mine that was coaching third base still has nightmares about it and the right fielder for the other team said he heard the break loud and clear.

The thing that gets me is that with all of the wonderful technology we have today the only thing the ambulance guys could do was tape a pillow around my ankle to take me to the hospital. It took five screws to fix everything down there.
