(I don't know where to post this. Is there a special thread for our plaster casts and injuries?)
That's not very bike friendly!
Get well soon!
(Was about to ask if you'll join next Wednesday's ride, but it doesn't look like it know...)

Oh man, it's hard. Don't know when I will be able to ride again. I mean, i only broke my fibula, that is not as bad as breaking your shinbone. But i think it will take at least 8 to 10 weeks until I can put any weight on my leg again.

I'm glad my hands are okay. so i will play my guitars a lot the next weeks......
 
I had a surgery this morning. The fracture of the fibula was fixed with a metal plate and 6 screws. Now I have to stop using my foot for 6 weeks, then I'll go to rehab to rebuild my muscles. If the metal plate doesn't cause any problems, it will stay in for the rest of my life, and I'll get an endoprosthesis pass. You know, for airport check-ins and so on....
If everything goes well, I can cycle again in 3 months at the latest.

This is an x-ray of my Weber-C-fracture:

This ist a web-pic, it shows how those fractures are fixed. Similar to this my fibula looks like.

Heal fast heal well!
 
The good thing is that i have my music. I'm going to concentrate on that over the next few weeks. I had neglected it a bit because of my bike flash in the summer.

Here is the latest demo version from Björn, my mate and bass player and beat creator, and me:
