so I am on our high school varsity football team, and im the running back. Last friday in our game against aberdeen we ran a 36 iso and i hit my hole and shedded 2 tackles then all of a sudden out of no where one of the safetys caught my legs. as i tried to stand back up my leg just fell off to the side and i fell instantly back down, once i got to the hospital they x-rayed it and said i broke my femur about four inches up from my knee, shattered the tip of my femur, and blew my knee to shreds. I was then ambulanced to sioux falls where i went into surgery and now have a titanium plate on the side of my leg and for my knee, 6 screws and a rod that runs all along my femur. I guess when i woke up from being put under i was talking to the nurse about diesel engines:icon_confused:haha but all in all they figure only 8 weeks ill be on crutches which is amazing considering x-ray photos that i saw

Good luck and get better man. I know how it is, i was in HS Football and some ass caved in my knee. But i got him back the last year i managed to play. He went to drive at me and when he did i jumped up and planted my cleats into his back. Call it dirty, but ruin my knee he earned his ruined shoulder.

I'm not a grammar nazi but i thought i'd correct the mispelled scars for you mate. :p But it's true, and they dig (pointed out and fixed by hoosier) tattoos.

I don't check my own due to it's the internet. But i figured i'd point scars out to him since it was scares. So chill mate, not need to come at me like that. But as for spelling, i haven't spelled anything wrong since i know spell check works and i have it turned on, grammar is another story.
