Erik Bratton and I went to go diving up around Fort Ross. My sinus block has not gone away so we did a 24 minute 25 foot dive. Was nice while it lasted. Was hoping to do some spearfishing but was shutdown. Once the block kicks in I am unable to even get my head below the Surface.
We then met up with Jerry Dodril of Dodrill Gallery http://www.jerrydodrill.com/ (http://www.jerrydodrill.com/) . He showed us some local beach boulering near his gallery in Bodega. It was beautiful (The Gallery and the bouldering). As the sun was setting I went for one last "classic" problem, a hold broke, my foot landed on the edge of the pad and I heard a pop as my foot twisted. My ankle swole up. Jerry and Erik helped get up to the road. Jerry offered to carry me (obviously not your average photographer) but I wanted to salvage at least part of my dignity so I talked Erik and Jerry into helping me gimp out, with me using my good leg. Erik drove me to the hospital where they took XRays, put a splint put on my ankle and gave me a pair of crutches.
If you are every up around Bodega I highly recommend you stop by Jerry's gallery. He is an incredible photographer and a real nice guy. Plus the bouldering up there really is quite good.
Here's ta sweat in your eye

Was it a sprain?
Get better soon! The weather will be nice down at Pinns in the not-so-distant future...

What they are saying right now is that it is an emulsion fracture. So basically my ankle twisted to the point where the tendon (outside of ankle) pulled off and took a small piece of the bone with it. Will most likely need to see an Orthopedist to have everything confirmed. It makes sense since that tendon/muscle for about 6 to 8 inches up my ankle is fairly sensitive.
-
I can confirm that we did not carry him up the hill. He does hop pretty good.
The bouldering is really nice, a little sharp, but nice. Jerry kept saying "the higher up, the worse the rock is, so keep low".
-
Damn, Mr Mud, sorry you got hurt. Maybe by Pinns season you'll be re-habbed enough that the rest of us can keep up with you?
BTW, next time you see him ask Jerry about people he's already carried out to the road. It wouldn't have been new to him.
-
Hey Brad,
Jerry did give us sage advice: "Don't try to burn you TP in the woods".
-
OUCH! I hope he didn't tell the whole story since criminal charges are pending.
-
He did tell us how he carried someone else out. I thought about it a bit, gave it consideration, then decided that I could crawl out in order to salvage some bit of my dignity. Then we compromised on the group hug approach to get me to the rocks which were easy enough to crawl through. I finished up hopping to the road.
-
"OUCH! I hope he didn't tell the whole story since criminal charges are pending."
Nope, no details just....don't try to burn your TB in the woods.
The bouldering was good and the landing were for the most part soft. It's a great place to go when it's hot in the bay area, sonora and even chipmunk flat.
He enjoyed having visitors.
Munge, you should check it out. You can get cell reception in Bodega and even Salt Point.

Pepperoni sticks and cheese whiz. Worked last time... ;D If I recall correctly, you rode the Death Ride two or three months after a backwoods ankle break. Something about animal face and aerosol cheese together that has accelerated healing power.

This ain't Mr Mud is it?
WTF?
-
OUCH...dood get well soon. Not looking forward to recovery on an ankle. I've hated the last two times I've done that.
-
He refused to take my car and instead drove his stick shift in to work today. >:(
-
uh, Mr Mud, we love you and all, but that's pretty lame.
-
Well I cannot drive me rig or the scoot since she stole my keys when I was not looking. That pic was not me, the day we were up the to boys got buried when a sand cave they digging collapsed on then. One of them did not make it.
Yep I will have to stop and get the cheez wiz and pepperoni sticks. So far I have been trying a new regime of Ice Cream and Codine. Whoohoo.
-
Hey Mr Mud, sorry to hear about the ankle, if it gets well enough I can show you some new bike trails around Bear, _or some solid granite bouldering. Take care, Jeff (enjoy the codeine and ice cream)

helping me gimp out
So YOU took MY leather mask!! I'll bet you have the ball gag, too.
-
What's the word on the ankle? Will they amputate?

Good Times.

I hope not. ::)
They took X-Ray on Tuesday and MRI on Wednesday. He is going for a consult this afternoon.
-
I hope they don't MRI his brain. It might show what we already know what's up there.

Well just a quick update. The Doctor said the good new is that I did the maximum amount of damage without doing any damage. Bad damage that is. Basically there is a lot of internal bleeding. I have some tendons that are very sore basically because the sheath is full of blood. I stretched and strained a few things but most everything is ok. The fracture to the end of the outside ankle bone is an impact fracture which looks worse in an MRI but should heal ok. Lastly I bruised/impact/fractureed the heel bone which should be fine but again is resulting in more internal bleeding.
I have been told by a couple of Doctors that I am very vascular. Normaly good vascularity is a good thing. The down side is I tend to bleed a bit more than average even though I clot well. When I had the bone spur removed from my heel the Doctor was very impressed with the vascularity of my bones even though it resulted in more blood than he had ever seen come out of that bone before.

Confirmation that you're a genetic freak. BFD, we've always considered you a mutant. Still, you're a very nice, cooperative mutant who is pleasnat to climb with. Heal quickly.
-
vascular vehemence!
good name for a route
-
He's a bleeder! I guess that means Mudworm has to be gentle?
Does that mean you'll be back in the saddle again after some physical therapy (pyscho as well)?

Nothing...except volcanic choss.
