The good news is..................Tuesday night JC bought me a Quad! ;D It is a 1992 Honda Fourtrax. Looks & runs fantastic! Well I got on the phone to Jamie and we planned a rock hunt for yesterday. Had a blast! Perfect weather, good company and great rocks.............until........................IT happened.  My gear shift is down by my left foot and I put my toes down to pull the shift up and my foot got caught on a rock or something and pulled it straight back. The pain was so bad I thought I broke something but I knew I had to catch up with Jamie so I cowgirled up and finished the ride home. :help: My foot was pretty swollen so I went to the doctor and found out that a tendon or ligament tore off and took part of my bone with it. I am in a boot cast and crutches. SUCKS!  At night during my sleep I hear my Quad outside quietly calling me...."Sheri....................Sheri...............come ride me..............I want to go find rocks................oh Sheri!  |

Ouch, Sheri that had to hurt riding back. I can't imagine how you made it with that kind of injury. You are one tough rockhound. I just got off crutches last week. It does get better in time.

I can feel your pain. Tore my share of tendons and ligaments, though some of mine required surgery to repair them. Feel better soon

I've had my share of torn ligaments and tendons, heck I live with a 30%+ torn bicep, had it for about 10 years now, I even have a floating rib that popped out of the socket on my ribcage, but never had the bone broken to go with it... Ouch Girl !! wish you a speedy recovery.

Daniel is correct, I have been healed for 2 years! LOL
This was my post before I had a tantrum and quit the board! This happened in 2010. It took a long time to heal since a piece of the bone got stripped up by the tendon. It healed but I can feel the little piece sometimes. Then I broke my ankle on my other foot! Same type of break! It has been almost a year and it is still sore! I am a goofball! Oh, and a clutz! LOL
I hope no one else breaks a bone!

I've had my share of broken bones but never a torn ligament with bone attached!!! Hope you're not in a lot of pain now. Fast healing.
