[email protected] Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) Last year I broke my ankle in Iraq while on a dismounted patrol in the streets of downtown Baghdad. Well, today was the nicest weather we've had in months here in KY, so I went down to the campus bball courts to see if I could find a game. I did. 20 minutes in, I broke the same ankle again . FML. I won't be able to walk at all for a few days, and I'll be on crutches for a couple weeks or so after that. Of course, I'm just about out of groceries, and can't drive a block away to the store to get more . For your enjoyment, here are pics of both incidents. First is from earlier today, second is from last year. Hurts like a mother! Edited March 6, 2010 by ThatGuysLucky (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 If by painkillers you mean ibuprofen, then yes. That's VA medical care for ya! They told me to "keep it elevated, and don't walk on it." Wow, thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
