Re: Dan Jackson Broken Femur
You crazy bastard, I got the new catalog pics just in time. I guess that means you need to come out to the West Coast to heal up for the summer. Hey, it beats the Australia winter you were supposed to be in.

Don't know you personally, but who doesn't know of you!? I offer to you & all of our injured brotherhood godspeed in your recovery, and hopes of a quick return to the saddle. Ironically enough, on Monday I myself broke my left foot after my third attempt to scrape the tail.
Crashing sucks... PERIOD.

yoyoyo Mr. Jackson,
long story short my brother(19) broke his femur right dead in the middle but it was a splintered break. Same thing u got he got, ti rod from knee-to-hip with 1 screw at the knee and 1 at the hip holding the rod in place. Well he can walk with a big limp and 1 crutch 6 months later beacause he didn't listen to the doctor when he said don't *** around for at least 3 months, well he ***'d around and bent the rod and broke the screws off-so he went in for another surgery to take the broken screws out and replace the rod- he now has 4 screws holding a 12mm ti rod and has to start recovery ALL over again.
Well this was a long story long, but the moral is just let it heal bro...don't try and be a hero, that rod will bend, i know it's big and Ti but it will bend. I'm going to post pics of the bent Ti rod and broken screws they took out of my brother tomorrow or the next day for ya'll to see. 3 months on the couch then 2 weeks muscle theropy then backwards burnouts. (and thats a super fast recovery time for back to 100% mobility)
Check this pic of the after math...this pic was taken today 4/7/04 6 months later...
