"1. WTH were you doing when you did that?

Do you want the liberal revisionist version where I was
fending off a crowd of violent anti-war protestors?

:-o

The real story is a lot more boring.

Last July, my wife & I were on vacation in the Outer Banks.
We went to the beach for a swim. The weather had been stormy
& the waves had carved a ledge in the sand. It was about 18"
high. When I went to step down over the ledge, the sand
collapsed & I fell. My ankle turned sideways, then my leg
collapsed. When I landed, my foot was firmly planted in my
butt. That's when I heard a loud snap. That was the patellar
tendon in my knee. It was completely severed.

Since my knee injury was so severe, they had to forego ankle
surgery so that I could immediately begin rehab on my knee.
If they fixed my ankle at the same time my knee would have
been permanently disabled.

"Thought about suit for breach of contract?"

Hmmmm.... Maybe I should give mph a call.

:-)

"You're excused for not trying to make it to Reno for the get-together and some skiing."

That's twice now. I'm starting to think you guys are bad for
my health!
