Eric's Smashing Success

Well, Eric has had his first... broken bone. And what a good one he decided to break. He broke his fibula (the outer skinny bone in your lower leg) near his foot neat in two. I saw the X-ray and it looked like his bone had lightning going through it. He also managed to tear his ligament. Surgery is imminent (on Monday), but he'll be good as new in a couple few months. For a while, I'll just have to get used to him under foot... oooh bad reference.
Right after it happened. Poor guy.

Waiting for the Orthopedic Surgeon to tell us when his surgery is.

  2. Well, he is in a program now to teach Army basic trainees how to do things correctly. So he was teaching some combatitives moves and the other guy broke his leg with his knee coming down on it. He's doing ok now though. :)
