Hey Paul it could be worse. Oh wait, no it couldn't.

Heal quickly and pump out a few cigar reviews. Doug
 
Well after my appointment on Monday I found out that the break in my foot is not the normal on the bone that it is. I broke the 5th metatarsal mid shaft and is not a typical break of that bone causing it to may need surgery. I currently need to wait 4 weeks to see if the bone starts to heal on its own and if not under the knife I go right before Christmas. If it has started to heal on its own the normal waiting game continues. If I need to go under the knife then recovery is said to be 6-8 weeks and that will be a big shit storm! A big rain on my parade was when the surgeon asked if I smoke and the talk of cigars started. He stated that it will inhibit the healing process of the bones... Yup that really sucks!
 
Fingers crossed for Dec. 16th
Paul

Well I had my 4 week check up today and sadly was given the news I didn't want to hear. The bone has healed very little and not proper. So I need to undergo surgery at the end of the week. It's currently looking like Friday but that may change. The Dr. need to drill out the bone and put a screw down the center to hold it together. Looking like I'll be out of work another 4-8 weeks after the surgery... GREAT!
 
Well when it rains it pours,

That really sucks. I know being laid up sucks hard. Had my pretty major Knee surgery 5 months ago now and I'm just finally starting to get around like normal without much pain. Besides I knew I wasnt 20 anymore if I ate taco bell and had to eat a buncha Tums or else I was in for a long night lol
 
My wife had the same situation ten years ago and at some point the doctors wanted to operate. A friend suggested a chiropractor she knew. With the use of electrodes and other healing methods I don't pretend to understand, she was able to avoid surgery. Just throwing it out there. One way or the other; good luck Paul.
 
Good luck on monday, sucks that you are going trough this during the holidays too! BTW, I’m 6’6 and people ask me all the time if I play basketball and my answer has been for the last 6 years or so “I only play extreme sports, I play Bingo” they always seem to have a laugh out of my answer and I no longer have to answer any more basketball questions :laugh:
