Administrators Horton Posted February 25, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2022 Rumor has it @ Mrs_MS was kicking @ The_MS in the butt so hard that she actually fractured her own ankle. That poor woman. I do not know how she lives with @The_MS I hope she heals up quick.

Baller_ The_MS Posted February 25, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted February 25, 2022 Wish her well and lots of prayers. Pretty bad with a couple fractures and some floaters in there. 3-4 months non weight bearing after they add plates, screws and cadaver parts.

Baller chrislandy Posted February 26, 2022 Baller Share Posted February 26, 2022 My wife broke her leg and ankle in 6 places last August, 3 plates, 2 operations (one 7 hours totally rebuilding her leg and ankle). It was cast for 4 weeks, in a boot for 8. She was full weight bearing in the boot 9 weeks after the operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mrs_MS Posted February 26, 2022 Baller Share Posted February 26, 2022 @chrislandy I’ll pray for faster recovery. On top of all the other damage I did to my ankle, my heel is also shattered so that’s why my recovery will be longer according to the surgeon. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Mrs_MS Posted February 26, 2022 Baller Share Posted February 26, 2022 MS is doing a good job! I have been getting so much help and support from friends already and I’m so grateful. Thank you all for thinking of me and yes I could use some prayers for this long surgery next week. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 26, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2022 @Mrs_MS so you're actually kicking MS in the head and didn't realize it was solid rock?

Baller 6balls Posted February 26, 2022 Baller Share Posted February 26, 2022 @Mrs_MS hang in there, recovery is long after this one. Similar mechanism to my fall/injury, but sounds like some differences my calcaneus (heel) was unaffected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted February 27, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted February 27, 2022 I had a fractured calcaneus case. They call it “lover’s fracture” as it is the type of injury you get when you jump out the second floor bedroom window because your girlfriend’s husband unexpectedly came home.

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted February 27, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted February 27, 2022 Ahh so that’s what happened to @6balls. But how does that explain @Mrs_MS injury when her boyfriend jumped out the window?? If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller chrislandy Posted February 27, 2022 Baller Share Posted February 27, 2022 @Mrs_MS The surgeon reckoned she'd be out for at least 6 months but she (being herself) was hobbling around the house sooner than told to, it helped to heal it quicker apparently. They had to get a specialist in to do the op it was that bad, but they thought that because it was so bad and needed so much work on it, that it would heal quicker and stronger. She still needs to do rehab on it, but because she did all her PT religiously it has minimal scar tissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted February 27, 2022 Baller Share Posted February 27, 2022 Mine was in April, skied the skiwatch fall double late September (not well mind you, but I skied it). Was cleared two weeks prior to ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mrs_MS Posted March 2, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2022 My surgery for tomorrow is cancelled because United Health Care couldn’t get it authorised in time….they require 3 days for an urgent surgery claim and it was sent Thursday! (5 days) So now I have to wait another week! Praying for strength! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tjm Posted March 2, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2022 Something is very wrong about that. United Health should be ashamed of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller S1Pitts Posted March 2, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2022 @Mrs_MS My injury was almost Identical to @6balls and what makes this sort of all the same is the injuries are at or near the ankle. I am not a doctor but have survived and recovered from 5 surgeries on my injury. - Very important - Keep it elevated to at least the level of your heart 99 % of the time for the first 3 months and regularly elevated there after. Swelling is your enemy. It will have a huge impact on your final outcome after recovery. Best wishes on your surgery and recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jhughes Posted March 25, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2022 Mrs. @jhughes broke her foot at Swiss in December. Third PASS of the trip. In the best shape of her life. Partial eject from HO Animal front boot. Clean breaks across 3 metatarsals right on top of the foot. No surgery, no displacement. Nearly 5 months later- still physical rehab and limping around, not a chance of skiing. It's amazing how even a fairly basic seeming break takes so long to recover from.

Baller Mrs_MS Posted March 25, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2022 @jhughes Sorry to hear that. Not sure I’ll ski again, time will tell I guess?? @ToddL Agree…My doctor has had it with UHC and claims she will discontinue accepting them. They initially denied my anesthesia for my surgery! WTF?? Claimed was out of network! I raised almighty hell…. It’s taken care of but you have to watch EVERY MOVE THEY MAKE!!! Crooks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted March 26, 2022 Baller Share Posted March 26, 2022 @Mrs_MS you will be able to ski again if you want, question will be trust. Your accident somewhat like mine in that it was a routine thing. Mine was on a routine 28 off opener early season so was like my 6th 28 off in a row in the second set on glass. Was stupid early gotclean locked out of 4 which is onside. I didn’t feel the fear in my return, but it can be there for sure and make u wonder as u get older if it’s still worth it. Certainly don’t want a repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bananaron Posted April 1, 2022 Baller Share Posted April 1, 2022 @The_MS My wife had that surgery 20 yrs ago by a top surgeon at north memorial and it worked out fine.However I am sure it will be a problem as these ladies get older and they will experience some pain as we folks know it to be ARTHRITIS.I have plenty of it in my old joints at my ripe old age of 74..........
