No way! You didn't offend me at all. We are still laughing how stupid this injury is. We just came home and she was moving that box and I forgot that not only did I have 1,000 rounds of .45, but I had 750 rounds of 9mm. She asked me, "now that the election worked out do we still need all of these." I told her it just meant more time at the range for me and more time at Sam Moon's.Mxrdad wrote:Uh-Oh,I hope I didnt offend you.

I found Crocs made for diabetic feet and diabetic socks to be a great aid in healing when I injured my left foot. When you get out of a cast this may help. Also you should send me those offendinf .4 ACP rounds for proper disposal.......hope you heal quickly and well. Oh, Crocs look like heck but they feel like a cloud.
My wife has the same opinion along with a very sweet, "grow up" on the end of that.Mxrdad wrote:Does that qualify shooting yourself in the foot? Sorry man, just trying to lighten it up a little. Heal quickly. I broke my foot when I was 45 years old and that rascal still swells up if I walk a lot and is sore. Hope you get a full recovery.

Thank you sir. God blessed and I only a couple of small bones broke. They put a splint on it and gave me an Orthopedic doctor to see Friday. I got a brand new walker out of the deal.cmgee67 wrote:Father I ask that you heal his foot in a mighty way. I ask that it is speedy and that it even shocks the doctors on how well it did.

Feel better my friend!
I sure want to thank everyone for your prayers and well wishes. Those of you who are diabetic know how bad feet problems can take over and mess up everything. God has been so good to us that I can't even begin to tell of all the blessings.
Re: Pray For Broken Foot
LOL. A broke foot is an excellent reason (excuse) to hit the range too. I called it therapy although the wife may argue that. My Doc was real cool. He gave me the option of a removable walking cast vs the non-removable kind. He said he gives us "grown ups" that option because we are/should be smart enough to heed his advice. He said wear it all the time but you can remove it to shower. He said if you dont take my advice, you could be coming back in for surgery so pretty sure you will wear it. And boy was he right, it was nice to remove it when needed but went right back on and no surgery needed. Hope it goes as well as it can for you.
Just some guy's opinion.

I bought the one I linked for my granddaughter to use when she broke her ankle a couple of years ago. It helps you heal faster because you're not putting weight on your foot or ankle and flexing it.

Re: Pray For Broken Foot
No sir just a regular four legged walker. I spent six years in a wheelchair. When God allowed me to walk again I used a rollater. The ER doctor was afraid I would fall using the rollater. At least until I follow up in five days.Pawpaw wrote: Did they give you a knee walker?
Thank you very much. The blood is a serious issue so I found out tonight. I guess it didn't make much sense to me until tonight.FCH wrote:Ouch!

Prayers for a full recovery Carlson. If your doc gives the go ahead, and you're interested, I have a knee walker/roller available, my wife had foot surgery a few months ago, and only used it a few times and didn't like it. Let me know.

BTW if it had to happen it is probably better to have the boxed ammo to hit the foot than one round out of the pistol hit the foot. (just trying to find the bright side, if there is one)
I too, am diabetic and understand your concern.

You are very kind. I don't think I will need the knee walker unless they decide to do surgery. I don't think (praying hard though) that will be the case.Jusme wrote: Prayers for a full recovery Carlson.

Re: Pray For Broken Foot
I've been traveling and didn't see this until today.
Some years ago I dropped one of the pre-LED computer monitors on my foot while lifting it out of the box by the styrofoam packing, which broke. A corner of the monitor landed on my big toe and did all kinds of damage, and then it got infected. Not fun, and just the thought causes me to cringe even more when I hear about dropping something that heavy on a foot.
Prayers sent for rapid healing with no complications.
