I have recently broken yet another bone. This was a little while back. December 31 2011, New Years Eve. I was riding my BMX bike and decided to jump a 20 ft dirt jump. We had about a 80 ft run for it. Basically just peddle as fast as you can and hope for the best. I guess the best isn't good enough sometimes though. I crashed and broke the same bone I broke in my last post. Left fibula of the left ankle. This one was twice as bad as the last one. Not only did the bone break but some of the tendons in my ankle tore and basically dislocated the joint in my ankle. Extremely painful. I had to get surgery on it a week later. Plate and 5 screws. Needless to say, I have decided not to ride BMX anymore. Not because I'm necessarily afraid of breaking something else again but because it's so expensive to break something. Bills from the last two breaks have added up to well over $20,000. I thank the Lord for Insurance and parents!
