Yep, for the second time in two years, I found myself in the ER. Luckily this time, it wasn't for a serious car accident. While playing flag football with some work buddies, I fractured my left tibial spine (basically where your ACL attaches to your lower leg bone). It's looking like recovery time is going to be quite extented. All I can say is that I am lucky that the new SS is an automatic.
A lesson was learned, as well:
If you are 5'7" and 155 pounds, don't play football with guys that are twice your size.

well that stinks, hope your recovery goes well!

Doesn't matter how big you are, you should never play football with people twice your size unless your a glutton for pain!!

Sorry to hear Kevin. I hope your recovery is quick and complete! I am 5-9 and 160 and play hockey with some big boys. I know how it is. I am constantly on the lookout for a train to hit me! Good luck!
