See what you get for your trouble

Stopped last week to help a young mother with a baby that slide off the road. In the process of helping her car slide into the side of my left knee. Long story short I am having ortho tomorrow am, now that the swelling is down. One day in the hospital, a week of severly limited mobility and 4 to 6 weeks on a crutch or cane according to the VA Doctor. Spring is coming and I ain't gonna be laid up then!

It feels like that is how it always is, does it not?

Maybe it will turn out like the Indian with the broken leg, and it will get you out of something you need to avoid!

Well I am back home, knee is "fixed". Now begins the rehab. This is not going to keep me down long. Already stopped the prescription pain killers and just using aleve for an anti inflammatory and ibuprofen(grunt candy) for pain. Haven't walked on it yet but can stand with a crutch. I know don't be a dumbazz and screw it up right away. Ain't no way someone is getting me off the toilet and pulling my pants up for me! Helping me back to the bed yes!

Glad you're on the road to recovery!

Well maybe you should sue her? That's what any good liberal would do isn't it?

Don't forget to sue the tire manufacturer for their faulty product, and the state for allowing poor road conditions.

don't forget the car manufacturer for a poor design that allowed her to slide off the road.

Damn dude, what a tough break!

No good deed goes unpunished. But most good Americans suck it up anyway and does what needs done. That is what makes us different from the rest. Hope you heal up fast.

Sorry about your bad luck, but I hope you do it again when the times comes (just no hurt knee next time).

You know the saying - "No good deed goes unpunished..."

LOL! In the words of the great Super Chicken! Don't complain Fred you knew the job was dangerous when you took it!
May have been a stupid kids cartoon but there is a lot of truth in that line!
