For sure it's amazing. I was told heel fractures only make up 2% of all fractures. Pretty rare to break, either a fall from a decent height or car accidents. How did you break yours domingjm? St Patricks day, assuming some beers involved?
They also are often accompanied by vertebral fractures or injuries, and mine was no exception. The positive part about a fracture though is that unless the bone is shattered, it usually proceeds along a well-defined healing timeline and you have no further issues with it. Contrast that with soft tissue injuries, particularly ligaments and tendons, which can give you unpredictable problems for life. I'm seeing that in the contralateral foot.
Yeah, so all of the alcohols were involved with mine. Super drunk, climbing old buildings downtown like spiderman wannabes with some friends (and trying to impress a girl), jumped off at a height that I though was reasonable, which ended up being about 15ft and immediately lost the ability to move and lost consciousness shortly after. I was in the ICU for three days but I was on so many (awesome) drugs that I had no scope of the severity of the situation. Of course it's impossible to predict the serial effects of any individual event but I can confidently say that I wish I wouldn't have made that decision.
