Live from Grosse pointe Beaumont!

DWags tried jumping o er a wood pile . In emergency with a dislocated ankle and a fracture.  Looks like surgery.

Luckily my daughter and her doc fiancé were at the house. Surgery next week I guess. They poooed it back in and let me tell you. It hurt.

I hate life.

I knew it was dislocated during the second half of lions game. Fractures pissed me off.  

Currently on morphine as they needed it to put the ankle back in place. I might tell some of you to fuck off in a bit. Daughter is currently laughing at me.

Oh I see this thread now. How big was the wood pile? Was it at least a cord? Did you knock most of it over thereby destroying the wood stacks very existence at the measly cost of an ankle?

WTF are you doing trying to jump over a wood pile?

DWags thinks he’s Rooster Cogburn.

Get well soon, D Wags, but tGreenWay is right. At this age, woodpile jumping days are over.

Damn Wags. Hope you’re ok. If this is the designated dumb ass old guy doing young guy stuff thread…

Last weekend tried to carry a lazy bout off my parents deck myself. As soon as I hit the second step… out went the feet. Landed on my back with a lazy boy in my hands. Two broken ribs. Dumb.

Broken tibula and fibula. Will need surger. Ankle is back in place. I’m fucked for a while. No more Brez.

Damn, that sounds painful, too. You old guys have to stop flexing for the silver-haired neighbor lady.

Jesus, Dwags. You’re lucky you didn’t bust a hip.

I’m going to bed now. You guys drink some vitamin D milk and try not to break any more bones while I’m out.

Get well soon DWags!

Red Forman sends his regards.

This one’s for you Greenway. Was driving to midland yesterday morning and checked into Tawas hospital ER. Felt like my stomach was going to explode. Doc said I was full of shit. Literally. Haven’t had a bowel movement since the fall. Said yeah you got two broken ribs and your colon is full lol.

Sorry to hear this, dwags. Don't try to rush back into the playing group. Heal up fully and get better soon.

Get better Dwags. Appears to be accident week here at tSwill. I still can't wear pants cause of the abrasions on my knees.

My friend, you are wearing insulated clogs. You are far too old to be trying such things.

Take care and feel better soon.

This story would be better if the woodpile was on fire.

Get better soon!

Least surprising part of this thread. (Not talking bout the ribs)

Hard to disagree.

Naw man, you just went from upper bowl into one of those sweet lower platforms with elbow room.

Damn Wags. At our age you never, and I mean NEVER, leave your feet. Heal up brother.

This is good advice.

Get well soon Dwags, Kingston and even you with your abrasion Pantry. Put some Bactine and a Curad on it for god's sake and get your pants back on.

Well, there goes your draft stock…get well, DWags.

Oh man that sucks

The last time I jumped, about 5 years ago, I pulled a hamstring. It really, really hurt and took months to heal. On that day I retired from jumping forever.

Neosporin.  Banged em up pretty good.  Scabbing over well but sweats are the only thing that feel comfortable.  Too cold for shorts.  Neck still sore but bump on the head feeling better except when combing my hair and discovering the scab is still there.  First time I ever took MLK day off...WOOT!

The surgeon is on the way.

Get better dwags

So, 52 with crunchy knees... how long before I should consider the jumping restrictions?

-3 years for you, Joe.

You can’t take the daredevil out of men like Evel Knievel or Dwags

Might be better to just cut the leg off

This is all bad advice. Keep jumping, DWags. Reach for the stars. Don't give up on life. My buddy, GreenWay, is of an advanced age but can still dunk from the three-point line. He never stopped jumping. He continues to jump everyday between naps.

I have heard it's possible to pull a Hammy (and groin) playing softball.

And get a hernia water skiing.

Soon Joe. Very soon.

Poppycock! I've still got a solid 3/4" vertical...
