Broken Ankle and Dislocated Knee

SC`s Stars IISC`s Stars II
edited July 2011 in General Discussion
Yep, I did both this morning.<br><br>I was riding Georgia, and in the middle of a flying lead change, she missed a step and something messed up her footing so she tripped, and my foot went on the inside of my stirrup which tossed me off the side of my saddle. I tried to catch myself and ended up twisting my knee and dislocating it. <br>Luckily, Georgia is trained to stop if I fall, which she did and I managed to completely unbuckle my stirrup to let myself fall (since i was practically hanging upside down). I managed to hop back to the barn where I called my mom.<br>My X-ray show a broken ankle in 3 places and a torn ACL and slightly dislocated knee (which they painfully popped back into place.)<br>I'm in a full cast with crutches. >.<<br><br>In good knews though...I'll have pictures up from my ride on Friday!

    I so sorry to hear that you hurt yourself like that cause it seems horrible...<br>I know how you feel though (well sorda). I broke my ankle and tore my ACL jumping out of a swing at my friend's b-day party a year ago next week. It was horrible going to a pool party and not being able to swim since the hospital I went to did not have waterproof casts. I also was not put into a cast for almost two weeks due to swelling.... My ankle was the size of a softball literally (we compared them and they were the same size) and they did not want to cut off my cerculation. I had the cast for almost 6 months because I already had issues with my ankles and it slowed the heeling process. I could not do the physical theropy due to the fact that the closest doctor doing that is almost three hours from my house, so my left ankle still is not able to bend back and forth like it is suposed to, but thankfully it does not effect my riding. I have to raise the stirrups a little higher than usual, so I am able to push my heel somewhat down, but no one seems to notice really and I have found I balance better that way anyways lolz.

    <br><br>Oh wow, yours sounds much more painful than mine!<br>I also have had issues with my ankles and knees in the past so it was really no surprise that I hurt them again. Mine only swelled up to the size of a baseball, but I was able to ice it immedietly after I had done it. I'll be in this cast for at least 8 weeks >.< and I have to always wear my hinged knee brace. <br>I hope it won't mess up my riding too much, I'll be able to do the physical therapy though, so that will help

    <br><br>I have to wear a brace as well, but the brace is so annoying when I'm in my English boots lolz. It rubs some, but I am used to it now...<br>I am supposed to wear a brace on my left wrist because I snapped it when I was younger and the bone went through my skin... I had a brake, dislocated bone, and a fractured growth plate in my wrist... All from playing tag hahaha

    <br>I might try wrapping my knee before i put my brace and boots on, hopefully it won't rub as much. <br>Ouch! That sounds horrible!!
