Wow! I’m glad it didn’t kill you. It certainly could have. Hope you mend quickly and completely!
Congratulations on the deer too.

Winced hard when I read that.... like a lever to pull the front up. Thanks for sharing the details as many of us use ATV's in game recovery and God Bless that you're here to heal.
That was the problem. There was no "easy" way to attach the rope to the hitch!!! Should have thought things through
Go back to the surgeon Wednesday for my first follow up...wish me luck

Congrats on the umm buck. Glad you’re ok for the most part. What we do has inherent dangers that we put aside as we move along. Thanks for posting to keep everyone just a little cautious in the future. Again get well soon.
I was lucky to have cell reception. There are places on the property that doesn't have reception especially down in the numerous ravines.
Stitches out today, in a non weight boot for another 4 weeks.
In motorcycle racing we referred to trophies as "bringing home the hardware." Truth be told, most guys brought home hardware which looked like what you just shared. Looks uncomfortable. Hope the healing is fast and full. A true blessing it was not any worse.

Man I'm glad you made it out of that one. Shit happens so fast and when you least expect it. Rest up and recover buddy.
Going back to the surgeon Wednesday. That will be 7 weeks without any weight bearing on the leg/foot. Then if everything looks good I'll be going to physical therapy to rehab the leg/foot to learn how to walk on it again. Thanks for asking.

My Sister in law is going through the same. She’s been dealing with this for close too 3 months. I know what she’s been going through, I’d imagine you could relate as well.
Broke my fibula a couple years ago. I couldn't believe the size difference between legs from not using it. The physical therapist were awesome and had me back in shape in no time. I got very lucky that it didn't have to be plated and pinned. I had eight inch redwings on and they said it would have been a compound fracture if I didn't have boots on. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
