My Left Foot
In the diagram below, the bone called the Talus is the bone that broke. The Dr said that fortunately there was no displacement of the bone so as long as I don't put weight on it during the healing process it should heal fine. I just got the full cast on today, I'll have that for the next 4 weeks. After that I go and get a walking cast, as long as everything is healing properly. The total time he said it would take was a minimum of 6 weeks.

Re: My Left Foot
Other than strategically applying a hammer, how does one go about breaking that bone? I find myself confused as to how this might have happened.

Re: My Left Foot
To me, it looked like they (Squire Claduio and Chris) just kinda went into melee and hit the ground. I guess one of Squire Claudio's weird weapons kept attacking.

Re: My Left Foot
seeing how that bone(the ankle) connects the leg to the foot it's not hard to imagine that dropping 200 pounds at a bad angle on it would cause it to break.

Re: My Left Foot
it feels like a combat boot that is laced up too tight with the toe of the boot chopped off. I'm going to get Sir Dallas to paint the Ordo Standard on it.

Watch he doesn't paint your toe-nails (just for fun) while he's down there!

Re: My Left Foot
The next time I break a bone, I will totally rock a pink cast.
