Well, 2 weeks ago tonight I fell off my roof while installing metal roofing. There were a few drops of water on the sheet when I took it up. Forgot to dry it off and some leaves were already drifting down from the trees that evening. I think one ended up on the water drops. I was screwing the sheet down when I must have backed up and stepped right on a leaf. In an instant I was sliding off the edge thinking Oh Sh!t this is gonna hurt. Dropped about 15 or 16 feet to the ground and mostly landed on my left leg. It was a very quick trip.
Realized it was broken when I attempted to stand back up. Was of course alone at the time so crawled into the house to the phone. Ended up that it shattered my left tibia and I had compartment syndrome from the swelling. It was a mere 3 surgeries & 11 days in the hospital before I was able to return home. Amazing how fast you get weak just laying in bed.
Supposedly I’m going to be non-weight bearing on my left leg for possibly 12 weeks. I think the Dr. will OK driving next week of an automatic transmission. That’s good for the car but my truck is a 5-speed manual Dodge Ram. Wonder how I might temporarily convert it to a hand clutch so I could use it in a few weeks.
