What Can Help Turbo's Ankle Heal Faster?

[Evo]

Get better soon turbo!1111

Poor turbo really banged up his ankle and he's on crutches. Let's all send him get well thoughts.

 

[dlgoff]

Dang. I knew he twisted it but didn't realize he had to be on crutches.

@Turbo. Do what you need to do to get this thing healed before gardening season. I wish you a speedy recovery.

 

[turbo]

Thanks, Evo. My ankle is iced and elevated and getting more purple, though a bit of the swelling has subsided. No walking yet, though. Crutches only.

Yep. This is by far the worst sprain I've ever had, and I have had some bad ones.

 

[drizzle]

Oh God! when did that happen?
Hope you get well soon

 

[Andre]

Oops Turbo, hope you get that fixed soon.

All the best.

 

[turbo]

Thanks drizzle and Andre. Soft-tissue injuries can take a LONG time to heal. I wish it had been a break instead.

 

[Borek]

I hope you will not develop separation anxiety when your neighbor walks Duke

Get well soon!

 

[turbo]

I hope you will not develop separation anxiety when your neighbor walks Duke :wink;

Get well soon!

Woof! Woof! Whiiine! <longing looks out the window>

Crutches! I knew you'd sprained it, but damn... you did get this puppy imaged, right? Duke had better not slam into it again!

 

[hypatia]

Awww I'm so sorry to hear that bit of news. Crutches are dreadful, you should be all healed by digging time anyways. {hugs}

 

[turbo]

Thanks nismar and hy! I'm hoping to be adequately healed by planting-time, but I'm certain I won't be 100% for the rest of the summer. I have damaged this ankle before, and it took a long time to heal. A young kid crossed the run-out at the end of a GS run in the State finals, and I had gone full-tilt through the last gate. I successfully avoided the kid, but took a really nasty fall, and my bindings didn't release. I still have blue, broken veins from that one 40+ years later, now joined by much more color.

yes, from what i hear, the stretched ligaments never fully tighten back up.

 

[lisab]

Sorry to hear it !

Maybe you can rub some hot sauce on it! Actually Capsaicin cream works wonders for me, but I've only used it for rather minor injuries.

Hope you heal soon!

I'm feeling your pain. During your healing period would be a good time to have plenty of Molson Golden on hand.

Can you talk anything to help the pain? Besides the beer that is.

 

[Insanity]

Recover quickly, and as dlgoff suggested, beer should help, it certainly can't hurt.

I have beer, and I don't like taking pain-killers.

 

[turbo]

I'll try to not tipple too heavily, lest I re-injure it.

 

[Borek]

Actually it can hurt. You have to get up and limp to toilet after each one.

 

[turbo]

Ah! Exercise and flexibility re-hab! Could beer be good?

 

[Borg]

Get better soon turbo! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Wow... I normally wouldn't go here, but...


3 liter bottle.

Thanks Borg. I'm trying to behave so when it's time to till, hill, and plant, I'll at least be ambulatory, if not out of pain.

 

[turbo]

3 liter bottle.

Hmmm... Could pose logistics problems. Hard to lug heavy stuff when using crutches.

Cover it in strips of jerky and train Duke to empty it.

Problem: How to avoid further injury between trips to the fridge for beer, and to the toilet afterwards.
Solution: Put a TV and Minifridge in the bathroom. Get help for this if needed to avoid further injuries

I also do parlor tricks for birthday parties.

My cousin Vinny will be out to see you in a few. Until then rest up and be well.

OK... now take away his gold membership.

 

[Drakkith]

OK... now take away his gold membership.

And upgrade to platinum!

 

[nismaratwork]

Hey, this is PF, I think you want to at least get into the actinides...

 

[micromass]

Get better soon turbo! But I'm sure you'll be fixed in no time...

 

[Drakkith]

Hey, this is PF, I think you want to at least get into the actinides...

Nah, I like to live a full life, not a half life.

 

[turbo]

I need Michael Jackson's hyperbaric chamber.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Get better soon Turbo. Watch out for the empties on your crutches.

 

[Drakkith]

If you wake up one day, get out, touch your crotch, do a moonwalk, and then write, compose, and sell a multi-platinum album, can I have your autograph?

No, but you have my permission to put a bullet in my head.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

No, but you have my permission to put a bullet in my head.

Have patience Turbo, Vinny and the boys will be there soon.

 

[turbo]

I mostly have to watch out for Duke. He is a big rambunctious boy, and needs to be close to me all the time. If I am re-injured he should be a prime suspect.

 

[Chi Meson]

I'll try to not tipple too heavily, lest I re-injure it.

I'm drinking a cold one right now, for you Turbo.


And this one's for me.




And this is for my dog, Eddie.




And ths ons for the seagul tha jus fluw overhead ...

Have an extra for me! I need it.

Yay! Do they like pasta with marinara sauce?

 

[nismaratwork]

Yay! Do they like pasta with marinara sauce?

Oooh, what's this? A funny guy! Hey Vinny, this guy here's a real freakin' comedian eh? Che Cosa eh, you clowny mother you...


That little drama ends badly, and with Joe Pesci eventually stabbing you with a pen.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

Yay! Do they like pasta with marinara sauce?

They would kill for it.

 

[turbo]

They would kill for it.

That's what I thought.

 

[nismaratwork]

That's what I thought.

Better hope it's the day of someone's daughter's wedding...

 

[Drakkith]

FYI Turbo, if you have a newer phone that has a touch screen and does all that fancy stuff, you can reach PF from your phone. I do it all the time. Great way to pass the time while on the throne.
