Hey, Thanks for taking one for the team!!   In all seriousness that's not good news so hope its a quick recovery...Maybe some of your friends can wheel u on the ice when it arrives, hope they dont forget to wheel u back at the end of the day

That really sux!! At least the way the weather has been going, you might get a chance to heal some! Get them to put on a walking cast small enough to put a big boot on!!  We'll reserve a HANDICAP spot out there for you!! LOL..Seiously, I hope it heals quickly and you and yours have a Merry Christmas in spite of this!! Just how did you break it I'll ask what everyone else is wondering!!

[Minnowhead]

Get well Pig.

Heal up fast.....Hope you still get to see plenty of ice.....

[networthy]

Well, if your misfortune doesn't help make ice soon, I will sell my ice equipment to someone in Canada, maybe that will help  lol

inquiring minds want to know... . i was walking on unfamiliar ground in the dark. the Christmas spirits were involved.

Rest up and get well soon.  Hopefully you can be walking in 2 weeks, if so you won't miss any ice fishing!  Hope you can join us on first ice!

Weather is not looking good through the weekend. Lows just at freezing.
Friends are sending pics of them ice fishing in Wi.


Looks like I'm heading North afters the first of the year if it doesn't start cooling down.
8" of solid ice and making more in North central WI

What flavor/variety were the spirits Heal quick,before ice comes. Hope Christmas was good in spite of the ankle!!

Sorry Pig Puncher on your bad luck, but you're not the only one.

 I managed to roll/twist both my ankles within the last 4 weeks.  (Rt ankle was sprained on Christmas day while at my in-laws). 

The only consolation is there is no ice as yet.,

BUT I HAVE A SEVERE CASE OF "CABIN FEVER"!!!!!!!

[pig puncher]

it's worse than i thought. i went to the orthopedic surgeon today. i go under the knife tomorrow. getting some hardware to put things together. he said 6-8 weeks.

[OldSailor]

Hope you heal quick, but don't push it!! You don't want it scewed up the rest of your life!!

[slabslayer]

Not good!  Hopefully can get out for a couple weeks end of Feb or early March.  Take care, rest up, and get ready for late season ice.  Someone can always drill your holes and pull you on the ice in a sled, all you need to do is sit there and fish!!
