Seems like we have several people who are currently on the Injured Reserve List.

Evan Byrne

Goatman

Anybody else?

Let's be careful out there.

I've been back on my bike now ( 2 wheels) boy am I unfit, up hill was sooooo hard. Be a while before my stomach musles will take the twisting of the uni tho. Not till I can do those funny sit up and twist exercises easily.

I, too, am still amongst the disabled. I broke my right ankle on Dec 29, 2005, on my 3rd day of learning to ride. Had surgery to put it back together (plate on fibula with 6 screws, 2 interfracture screws in fibula, and 2 screws securing the broken off chunk of the tibia maleolus) on January 10, 2006. The forecast 6 weeks in a cast following the surgery turned into 11 weeks because of an eighth inch gap in part of the fibula fracture. Finally got out of the cast on March 29. I'm wearing shoes and walking without crutches now, although I can't walk far, fast, or gracefully!

The muscles in my right foot and leg were appallingly week after 3 months in a cast. I'm now doing daily exercises to regain range of motion and riding my stationary bike to build strength.

I'm looking forward to resuming my unicycling attempt, although I will admit to being somewhat intimidated by the downtime, dismaying expense, and painful trouble this broken ankle has caused. (I have been sitting on the unicycle while hanging from a bar, just to keep my hand in!) When I do get back on board for real I'll be wearing ankle supports and dressing up like the "Pad Queen" herself.

Wow. That's the kind of news we hate to hear. I admire your spirit though, since you have not given up. If you go back to trying, find a tennis court. The fence is good for holding onto and the court is smooth and flat.

Hope you heal well. At our age, that kind of bodily injury cannot be good.

Don't stress it unitoon, I'm having ankle problems 9 months later with it. And I hurt my other ankle yesterday, so off to the doc tomorrow
