Just saying hello from the Muskoka’s in Ontario.
Hi Chris
Hello back at ya
G’day David, and Michael. How’s the foot doing, Mike ?
Hi Chris, I was up in muskoka on the moon river for a vacation last year ( half Canadian). Will have to look you up next time!
Tom
A little better. Down to physical therapy once a week.
Thanks for asking. I doubt it will ever be the same size or color of the other.
I believe I am screwed in that respect for the rest of my life I will make the best of it as much as I can.
All should be damn careful on ladders as I cannot believe ho a 3 to 4 foot drop has changed my life as dramatically as it has
Sure thing Thomas, stop by anytime. (Which half of you is Canadian ?) Front/Back, Top/Bottom ? :mrgreen:
Seriously though, if you’re up here again, give me a shout.
Same thing happened to my Dad years ago, he slipped off the second step of a ladder and broke his heel. Never did walk right after that. He was in his 70’s though, so didn’t “heel” up very well. Joking aside, I hope you’re doing better.
I would never …Let me reiterate ! Never accept that… Nope !
I nearly cut my left arm off literally to the bone with a circular saw 39 plus years ago.
I’ll post a pic of it if you like.
The micro surgeon was a friend of the family told me I would never have more that 2 to 5 % useage of that arm with the severe damage that was done…
In 3 months I was back on the job.
That arm is working at about 95 % efficient even now .
Don’t tell me nothing.
The great powers of your mind you will never comprehend. Use them !
Why did this come about?
Because I would not accept that fate ! Never will I accept defeat. Only setbacks !
And then only when I’m dead !
Carve that in stone.
I will indeed, I’ll be up there again, been going there since before I was old enough to know where I was, much less Muskoka!
Oh and the top half is pure Canadian
My bad and my mistake caused it. I did not pay %100 attention at the time of my f-ck up. I own and take responsibility for my issue.
It is done and I have decided to try do my best to go on. It has been the toughest injury I have faced in my life. At the time I did not think it was anywhere near the severity it is.
I seriously never thought a broken calcaneus would cause such an issue but apparently it is the norm
I’ve fractured my neck in 3 places. Broken both legs, collarbone, both arms and 3 ribs. The “experts” said I’d be in a wheelchair before I was 50. 58 this year and still defying the odds. My secret? Accept the blame, do the physio, take pain killers only when absolutely necessary and never, ever,ever give up.
Hello back at you Chris and all my fellow NACHI brothers, posting this from the airport in Orlando Florida on the way back from a wonderful week with My wife and my two sons.

You should prolly give up break dancing Leonard…just sayin…
Len break dancing?? That would be a sight to see !!!
Have a safe trip home.
Life is full of surprises…
The last 6 or so years none have been good
I had a great 20+ year run I gues I deserve some sh-t luck for a while.
Maybe the next 6 will get better
