Injury update
For the next 4-6 weeks, my left leg will be in a knee immobilizer. Currently when I'm on my feet, I'm getting around using a walker. I am going to be renting a wheelchair tommorow to assist with the healing process.
As I mentioned earlier, there's only one regular season home game left, that's on Thursday, February 11tth. I did e-mail the principal to let him know of my status. |

It wasn't much of a contest.....180# of me at full sprint down the side line covering a fast break vs. a maybe 5'4"/105# or so cheerleader that took a small step onto the court to get a better look at the play. I caught a glimpse of her out of my peripheral vision just as she stepped out and tried to avoid her, but was unable to completely avoid the collision......we hit shoulder to shoulder and she landed on her backside and slid about 20 feet. I asked the AD after the game, and fortunately other than being a little shaken up, she was otherwise OK....probably had a bruise or two the next day though..... |
Injury update
Saw the Orthopedic today. He checked my left leg, & diagnosed only a ligament tear. Will be in the knee immobilizer for another week. When go in to see the Orthopedic next week, will be put in a hinged leg brace.

Now, back OT.....while playing Rugby in college we were playing our rival school and there was a big pileup (shocking in Rugby, I know). All of a sudden you heard this loud SNAP - like breaking a penicil! And a scream! Ref halted the game (very unusual) and unpiled everyone..... Our scrum half suffered a compound fracture of his lower leg. Truly nasty. He was carted off and the game continued. For all you Ruggers out there, it didn't affect the party afterwards though. :rolleyes: |

Came to find out if I didn't have the insurance I had, I would of been compensated for out of pocket costs due to the injury through the school district. Hearing about that Rugby injury does not surprise me one bit after seeing some games on TV. Of course, overall the most odd/unusual injury I''ve seen was the injury by the Texas A&M Player considering the harshness of the injury. |

So game on for you tomorrow night? Are you going to man up? Ambulance drivers in the tri-county area are in code red in anticipation of your last regular season game. Are you day to day for state tournament? You could hobble into gym and pull a Willis Reed getting a thunderous ovation for your gutsy return. Just think, crowd on it's feet as you nestle in behind the table, tossing aside your walker. Chseagle............it's YOUR time! |
Good man - Fullor! Made me chuckle.

Concerning the main gym, I have no idea, until I get there. When I'm out of the house, I use a wheelchair I rented so I'm not putting too much stress on my leg. If allowed, I might transfer myself from the wheelchair to the chair at the scorers' table & do shot clock tomorroe night for the 3 games in the main gym. |
