Misdiagnosis!!

**Kawhead** · 06-24-2009, 11:28 AM

Misdiagnosis!!!!! It's another Kawanow Miracle!!I went to the Orthopedic Specialist and his diagnosis was a severe sprain and MAYBE a hair line crack on the heal bone! He gave me a walking boot and a follow up appointment in 30 days! I can hobble around the carport on a cane. I'm not going back to work tonight, but I'm going to go back to work tomorrow, because as I walk with the cane I have to shift my weight and balance with my right arm like a Kawboy riding a bull, and it looks worse the it is.

Thanks lot for all of your thoughts, prayers, and PM's. Now we need to focus all those prayers and energy toward Mr. & Mrs Nightmare so they can heal quickly as well.

Good to hear the news Mike. Although a good sprain can take just as long to heal good. Take care and get one of those handicap stickers so you can park closer.

Great news Mike. I hope you begin feeling much better quickly. You'll be riding real quick.

Well HOT DAMN!!!!!!!! Let me know when you hear from someone about the bike...call me anytime on the cell.

So I am guessing no more showers assisted by Mrs. Itsemt ????? too bad..maybe you can get a little more sympathy.

......and just for the hell of it......I thought I would include this completely random link:

That's a heck of a good price!

**Kawhead** · 06-24-2009, 12:58 PM

Thanks fellahs. I've been limping around the car port with a cane to limber my ankle up. I spoke to my boss and told him it might be better for me to take another night off 'cause I still have to swing my right arm around to shift my weight and keep my balance and it makes it look worse than it is. Thanks for the for sale pics, My sincere hope is some how my Nomad can be repaired.

Great news, now milk it. :)

skeeter · 06-24-2009, 01:18 PM

Hmmm.... Did he take new xrays or was he working off of the ERs'. Let's see how you are in a week. Not to put too much of a damper on it but I've been given the everythings fine speech before. Don't overdo it.

pirate · 06-24-2009, 01:27 PM

Good news! Hope you heal quickly!

**trip** · 06-24-2009, 02:06 PM

That's good news Mike. Glad to hear things aren't as bad as originally thought.

**ringadingh** · 06-24-2009, 05:06 PM

Good to hear its a sprain, but they can also take a while to heal, try not to agrevate it to much.
