Moon Boots - A gift from God?!

[Str8 Jacket]

I broke my foot at Ruapuna on sat whilst trying to race. I went to Chch hospital and they put a half cast on my foot/ leg and sent me home drugged up. All was good until Monday when my foot swelled so much while on the ferry that I had to go straight to Hutt hospital and get a new one. Unfortunately these casts were none weight bearing and I had to use crutches to take my weight but that was really hurting my, what I thought were pulled muscles in my chest. I stopped using crutches and just walked on my cast which caused me a great dseal of pain and the damn thing fell apart. So of I toddle to the hospital again today to get it sorted.....

Turns out my "pulled muscle" was a cracked rib and the docs agreed that I couldnt really use crutches, unfortunately they also discovered another broken bone in my foot so they wouldnt leave me 'castless'. Also means that I wont be riding/ racing for awhile yet :( BUT.... they decided that I could prob try and weight bear a bit and gave me a moon boot. I dont need to use 2 crutches and now at least I can take it off and shower like a normal person. I can also take it off while I sleep, woot!

So while I got some baddish news, my day just got a whole lot better. Life will be easier for the next few weeks!! :banana:

Yeah, its funny though cause I really wasnt thaaat sore and I have been at work all week but I think that if I had known exactly what was wrong with me I may have taken the week off. Either wasy it hasnt been too bad. ACC pay for taxis to make life a bit easier too...

That must've been quite a crash. You're not huge so you must've hit things hard.

Yeah, apparently I went down quite hard! Was lucky that I didnt get run over as well... It all happened really fast and all I was really thinking about was saving my brand new helmet! Which I managed to achieve! :)

Good onya. When I crashed at Puke the 1st thing I heard was fibreglass scraping on the ground. Realized it wasn't the bike and saw dollar signs floating past my eyes :( Scratch one rooted Shoei.

Shit Hels! Glad to hear your on the mend though:2thumbsup
So the back protector got a work out too eh?
Im off bikes & sport at the moment too. "Acute meniscal tear" they call it, torn cartaledge in my knee that really screws up bending my leg is what I call it.
So how about a race with you me & skels?

moonboots are wicked, so much nicer sleeping with a naked leg than with a bulky cast on.
