broke my left femur twice in a 6 month period...

once in a car accident...

had an external fixation rod put in place (kinda like this...but imagine that on my thigh):



a couple of months later the doc took two of those pins out...and i broke my leg again within 3 hours while walking to my backyard (i actually heard it break..it literally sounded like a wooden branch breaking)...

then i was placed in a spica cast for about a week:


the one on the left..

then after that i had 4 steel rods put into place...


that year sucked...
