Man, that's bad. Bob and I were just talking about how many foot injuries happen out here. Good thing we have so many doctors riding with us.
Looks like Cornell stitched you up pretty well. That really bites, sorry. |

Matching feet
Thats nasty as hell! dude I am so sorry Dan. Put aloe on that shit after it closes up and keep it elevated as much as you can. Move it as little as possible. Eat VITAMIN C LIKE CRAZY!!! Clean it clean it clean it... and it will heal quicker.
I attached 2 pics for you to see. Ask me how I did this lovely number to my foot last summer. Hey we have matching feet now. Wanna trade one good foot for one bad one? That way one of us can have two good feet again and the other, well, his life will pretty much suck, he'll will have two bad feet but some pretty wicked messed up stories to tell. I'll throw in a best kite to offset the deal... Get YO ass back on the water soon brah!

Glad I remembered stuff from my first aid merit badge in the scouts.
My nurse GF put together a rather large first aid kit after seeing the pics; I hope we never have to use it, but if we do..... Things I'm learning to take with me for kiting: duct tape, emergency first aid kit, morphine You win the trooper award for still being mobile enough to pack your car and drive yourself bloody foot and all. -Roadie Quote:

It's a tough call whether to wear booties. I've chopped my feet up often enough over the years, including nicking an artery once, but when I wear booties I can't feel the water well and I tend to get stuck in the straps when I want to get out during a wages of sin moment.
It seems like booties might not help you when you are getting dragged in the shallows, either. Yeah, your feet are likely at a high risk for injury, but it seems like you could gash your legs, your ass, or your face. I remember doing a face plant out on the sandbar once where I literally put my an imprint of my face right in the sand, about 1 foot from a bunch of nasty shells. Hell, you could probably cut your pecker off during a wipeout under the right (or should I say wrong) set of circumstances. I'm wishing you a fast recovery, Danny, and congrats for maintaining a sense of humor. |

The morphine is a really good idea. I'd have definitely needed it when Danny came in with that foot!
