Hey Jeff,
I was playing softball and running between home and 1st base when my left achilles blew out. I was in a cast for 2 weeks and then a special boot for 14 weeks. The surgeon said it looked like 2 ends of a frayed mop.
I was 41 at the time and I did play ball again. So hang in there. BTW Happy B-Day.

Hey stimpy, hope you get well soon. I did that once carrying a 50 lb box of nails once - jumped down from a curb and landed sideways on one of my thick soled construction worker boots and rolled it sideways and fell over. I couldn't walk for a min and despite being followed by security we managed to hobble my ass out of there and get away, but I think 13 year olds mysteriously heal in seconds or something. I can feel your pain. I normally don't say so, but go get fucked up, you earned it!
Oh yeah, and I suggest high order explosives for essentially painless damage to extremities next time you mangle part of you - you don't feel anything but that "hand fell asleep" tingling. I have absolutely no experience in this matter, however.
Get well, dude. We'll have to hit Harry's Hofbrau or something again.

Do they have physiotherapy lined up for you to speed up your recovery? I seperated something from my hip once, and although I hated the physio, it worked like a hot damn. They had a few things they did, but one of the things that seemed to have the most effect was when they stuck needles into certain muscles to relax them and take strain off the injury. I HATED this (I'm freaked of needles, I often puke... ). But it really worked well.
Why would you eat bad ice cream?
Oh, I'm sure I have the full meal deal. In addidtion to the shopping mall being totally negligent, my wife has some sweet insurance. So I don't need to worry about getting the best of care on this. It just hurts like a bastard. And I'm getting pretty damn sick of being in bed. But if I get up on crutches, even to piss, it hurts even worse. So I have my urinal bottle that my loving wife keeps dumping out for me. I draw the line at a bedpan, though. Luckily my guts have cooperated and I haven't had to go poopies.
Too much info yet?

When I had my ACL done, they said I had to pee before they'd let me leave the hospital, but if I didn't do it before the shift was over, they'd catheterize me (Navy hospital). I did it, but peeing through a numb wee wee is a strange feeling. As is farting through numb buttocks as my intestines fired back up after the anesthesia.
