Broke my ankle sliding into third base playing church league softball, a tendon pulled the bottom of the femur bone apart per the X-ray.
Very painful, in a walking cast for a couple months.
>How was the pay?
Zilch.

And, to make it all the more painful, he is originally from Rio Linda (seriously).

If you play it’s a risk to your body.

I broke my ankle in two places from a crazy accident years ago. Skattebo’s injury was freaky, too, and WAY worse than mine. I feel for him.

When you see somebody’s limb pointing in a direction it ain’t supposed to it can be pretty freaky...............

Yeah, it did, for quite a while. It was pretty much a full year before I could walk without pain. I thought I could never wear heels again, but that too, just needed some time. I’m 23 years past that injury now, thank goodness.

Ok so my injury was similar but not as severe. My ankle broke into a v shape. Yes, I had compartment syndrome from that, which necessitated immediate surgery once that became evident. The department chief at the hospital took over my case and did my surgery. I am eternally grateful to him.

I have a plate with two screws on the left side of my right ankle, and a plate with 7 screws on the right side. I barely notice them anymore. I can’t imagine having to play pro football after that injury. Just walking and getting around was enough. I didn’t dance for several years after the accident. It just took time to heal completely. Poor guy. His injury is 10 times worse than mine.

So, he’ll be up on blocks in the front yard for 6 weeks?

I miss Rush.

Uplifting story, too. Nobody wanted him coming out of high school. Had a coach tell him he’d never make the NFL with his lack of speed so the kid hit the weight room, worked on his speed, changed his diet, etc and made himself a prospect. He was recruited to Arizona St. and became a holy terror last year as a senior with incredible balance and power.

He’s one of those types that will probably be motivated by this to come back even better. I’m rooting for him.

Yes, he will! My nephew is still young, but he’s an orthopedic surgeon in NJ. NYC does have great doctors.

On a side note, I had a doctor here do some minor surgery removal of some lumps under my skin on my neck and sides.

He was a young guy in his early 30’s. His last name was ‘Foles’. Just out of curiosity and conversation I asked him if he was any kin to Nick Foles the Eagles QB that won Super Bowl 52 in 2017.

To my surprise he said YES! He’s my cousin!.................

Just depends on what broke and how bad the break was. There are lots of bad injuries in football, to players who aren’t famous and we will never hear much about it because their careers end when they get a break like that.
