re: So I broke my fibula - no cast?

It's your fibula... Not as weight bearing as your tibia like you said... Did they not put you in a boot? That's weird.
Seems a boot would at least stabilize it..

shite happens, not going to go after some Hispanic dudes because I'm going to limp for a week.
I'll hobble down there and fix it properly today so it doesn't happen to one of the kids.
If only more people had this attitude our insurance rates would be a lot more palatable and society would be a lot better.

A sure sign a lawyer has entered the chat.

Had a very similar break in HS after getting speared in the knee during a football game... maybe because it was a little closer to my knee or due to my age, but I had to wear a leg brace/immobilize my knee for a couple months.
A boot is only for your lower calf.

I am confused is this a trashy above ground pool?

Does the doctor know your wife by chance?

Damn right it is. Live on 20 acres in the country, no one to impress.

Rub some Windex on it. Will be healed by tomorrow morning.

Fibula is non-weight bearing.

People might think he has a pimp walk. Maybe he should buy a big hat with a feather and a cane.

The facetious recovering attorney has entered it thank you.

Broke my fibula (closer to ankle) 2 years ago at 43 years old. Doctor highly recommend surgery. Got plate and 9 screws then was in a cast/boot for 5-6 weeks. Took much longer to walk correctly (without limp) than I would ever thought prior.
Would have rather chanced healing on its own in a boot now that I seem to have more complications after surgery.

Subtle brag, I have a pool.
Apologies if you just have a ladder.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!

This whole story sounds like one big fib.
