Semi short story...
A couple of weeks ago I was headed to the lake to recreate, swim and feed the ducks. Along the way I encountered a dog walker who had the collar setup for choke and was really hurting the dog. I showed her the correct configuration and when the dog took of my hand was caught under the collar and I was pulled over. Thought nothing of it and went on my way.
Next couple of days hobble around with a cane, figured I tore my right quad (thigh) or a ligament.
After a few days on a cane I then needed cutches, could not put any weight on my leg. I managed for about six days, even hitting the grocery store.
Woke up in intense pain and had to call 911. After a nice fire rescue ride later to the trauma center I graduated to x-rays and CT scans. A few hours later I ended up in emergency surgery... Multiple fractures in the right pelvis socket for the femur.
2.5 days in the hospital and now I'm home. Just finished my second therapy session but have many more... Hope to be able to use the walker next week. Only three more months.
I attached an x-ray, it also shows the old hardware where my back is fused together.
