Broken Ankle

Out fo r a great day of wheeling. Warm air and plenty of mud. One Jeep gets stuck so I get out to see what is happening.  A winch is placed around a dead tree to get the Jeep off. The tree starts falling in my general direction. I cross my right foot in front of my left to step aside but instead of firm footing I am on a muddy rock that slants away from me. My right foot slides down as I fal and stops against another rock. All my weight comes down on my right leg at an odd angle. The next thing I see is my foot sticking off out of my leg at the oddest angle I've ever seen. I immediatly look for blood after crying out in pain. Thankfully there was none.

One shattered bone and two others broken.
