Playing with the dog at the park, a hole hidden by the grass. Broken fibula at ankle. Same park, different dog, same bone 30 years ago. I gotta find a different dog park.

bobgunrunnersmith
Thank you!

Same hole?
bobgunrunnersmith
Didn't recognize her, but it had been some time.

bobgunrunnersmith
In the fridge!

1 year later.....

That, glue factory or...

Clearly the dogs are after your bones.
bobgunrunnersmith
My current dog didn't even notice I'd fallen. The first dog was a boxer mix. Thought I wanted playtime, and happily jumped all over me. Still good dogs, just a little dense.
SwissScars
For dense, test a Tricolour English Setter - wonderful their reaction when called, will rush to you, as long as you are in the direction they were facing. Very unlikely to hurt you deliberately...accidentally inevitably.

I have severed Achilles memories of the boot! Godspeed to your healing OP
bobgunrunnersmith
Thank you! And I cannot imagine having an Achilles severed! I'll take the broken bone.
Ricdesan
Neither one is fun

I wore that boot! My Achilles tendon snapped when I knelt to pick up a toy..... Fun accessory.
bobgunrunnersmith
Ow! That has got to be worse than a broken bone!
missiletowe12
Eh. When it snapped it felt like someone hit my calf with a baseball bat, but it didn't hurt after that. Sucked that it was my right foot, so couldn't drive. On the other hand, doc assumed I was in great pain and gave me the Wonder drugs.

Maybe you’ll learn this time. Otherwise we’ll have to repeat the lesson.

Averaging one ankle every 30 years, I should be good until I'm 90!

May you have a quick recovery

Apparently that park has a bone to pick with you. Get well soon. Remember to re-train it up properly instead of going ham and getting other injuries right after
bobgunrunnersmith
Will do, and thank you!
futhor
Sounds kinda like your bone is the problem
bobgunrunnersmith
I'm not sure being able to recognize the sound was a bonus.
Samerious
Just chop it off and you won't have the issue. But really I bet your doggies are happy and I love that for you.
bobgunrunnersmith
Part beagle. She was busy following her nose!
bobgunrunnersmith
Stepping in holes is my problem!
hufflesnuff
I've done it twice. Left and right. Probably 12 years apart. Turning ankles sucks. Best of luck!
bobgunrunnersmith
Thank you! I'm just happy it was a clean break, no pins this time!
FunnyPlatypus
First step is admitting you have a problem.
Second step is another hole, so be careful.
bobgunrunnersmith
Just about the time I take walking for granted, snap!

Showing our age!

Oh I bet kids know this song. You're the one that titled it. Hehe. But seriously , that break sucks.
bobgunrunnersmith
I can't help it if I like pop music, and hair bands. And most anything 80's.
nintendolunchbox
For sure. I like most music, well I only tolerate country music in the correct context, but 80s pop is great. 90s pop and grunge is my jam. The Beatles can't be beat, so I'm all over the place.
