haha, basically one of those americas home videos accidents. except it wasnt funny....or caught on video...
i was rolling some mounted tires down the steps in front of my house to put in the back of the truck and one slipped out of my hands and rolled towards the street. i didnt want it to run into the road and hit a passing car so i chased it down the steps...it hit the hitch of mt jeep perfectly to bounce right back at me like a bouncy ball and hits my leg and took me out like a linebacker. fell on my elbow. broke 3 toes and my elbow in two places. had surgery to put two pins and a wire in.
lessons learned...drink more milk and let the motherf***er roll next time.
that sucks man, it could always be worse though. those staples will start itching like hell in a week or so. they're a lot easier coming out than stitches though.
I feel for you with the time off. I just had a little more than 3 months off (Started in Feb). I was going insane after the first week when the pain killers stopped and I could not walk for another 2 weeks. Oh yeah I had lower back Surgery.
