I can not verify this as I have not spoken to him personally, but I understand that Uncle Bill slipped on some ice and brole his leg. I sure hope that he heals quickly.

Well, Ken, I had to call him to make sure he was really down. Man, he's pi$$ed off! Right when he and the Rich one were getting ready to slay the snows. Looks like Rich could put wheels on his hips and pull him by the cast where they needed to go. Like he said though, "Damit, I hate this getting old". I could not agree with him more.
If you have any sympathy, send it to his Bride. I would hate to be cooped up with the old bear when he has to use a walker to get around. I'm sorry to hear of his confinement, but DON'T GIVE HIM ANY SYMPATHY! Just load him up with BS. Bill :lol: :lol:

I finally drummed up the strength to attempt an answer for Y'all. It's with a great deal of chagrin that I admit this nimble fleet-of-foot athletic body succumbed to falling while sweeping snow off the windshield. Fresh snow had covered some slickernsnot ice, and my left leg went out from under me, and rolled under my falling posterior, and I heard something like a twig snap. X-rays showed it to be the fibula.
Ken will be happy to hear I choose Husker red for the cast. Sorta fitting eh? The thing is already starting to stink. Taking a shower is a real PITA. When I had a full thigh-hi cast on the same leg when I was about 30, I don't recall having that much of a problem with mobility. This getting old really sucks.
Had to call off one hunt test assignment. Hope the cast will be off in time for the after Easter tests.
We are having super training weather, you might know. Temps in the 60's and 70's. Really shrunk up the snow in the ditches...or as we in the Dakotas like to call them..."well groomed snomobile trails." It hurts to know I'll lose the snow goose season. Always looked forward to that hunting session. Mebbe next year.

UB - you sure have my sympathy. Lousy as the situation is, it could have been a lot worse. Everything depends on the severity, but if it was the tibia you could be in for a much longer recovery. About 5 years ago I broke my tibia and fibula (yeah, ice had something to do with it too) and it was 9 months before I was close to being back to normal. I hope you like the NCAA basketball play-offs. You can kill alot of time watching that on TV. I wish you well.
