MMJ @ Champlain Valley Lawn 8/20- Roll Call!

[lil sis]

monkeyboy - sounds like you did do some hard core rocking out!  nice job!!!  and i mean that in the best way possible.  sorry about the extent of your injury but i agree w/ trish - see how the cast feels.

also, i work in a physical therapy office (reception, so i'm not licensed or anything, but i do pay attention...) & with broken bones - weight bearing activities promote healing  ;)  you'd have been worse off w/ ligament damage.

good luck & maybe call the venue to see if they have a handicapped section.  you might qualify w/ a cast...

Yeah, that's a great idea thanks for the advice ynwa.  I hope its only a break and not ligament damage in addition, I will find out tomorrow for sure.  The x-ray was positive though.  So, you say putting weight on it will help?  My doc said take all the weight off and use only crutches?  What the hell does he know?  Damn doctors...

So, if they do have a handicap section, I am gonna get YY to sign my cast, kidding!

are you kidding me, DEF get jim to sign your cast!

maybe the non weight-bearing order is just til they rule out ligament damage...  it will mostly depend on what you actually did & also how conservative your foot doc is.  but in general, bone breaks do heal faster with weight-bearing activity.  usually, they want you walking asap.  unless you really effed yourself up that is.  

be direct, tell them what your plans are/were up til this injury.  i'm sure they will tell you what you really should and should not do.  hey, this is what they get paid the big bucks for, might as well pick their brain while you're there.  (plus i think it gives them an ego trip  ::))

best of luck!

Well, I hope its just a little break and nothing big.  I am moving in 6 weeks so the timing couldn't be worse.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I called and they have a handicap section!  Hopefully thats where I can be found, I highly doubt its up front.  They said they have golf carts to shuttle handicap people back and forth to the lots.  Its 3/4 mile to the stage from parking!

Def put the weight on it.  I broke my leg when I was one (not that I remember it) and had a full-length cast.  I wore the heel out of that damn cast running around and I think it was only on for a few weeks.  Just ask ynwa...she still refers to me as "Peg Leg" here and there.  ;D

I thought that folks may enjoy this.  I took from a coffee shop window the morning after the show.

oh, hello Wonder Twin!  that's the same one i got from the record store in burlington the next day.  isn't it sweet?!  (only mine is not in as good condition ((the edges & corners are trashed & one of the employees WROTE ON IT???  >:(.)) but i still love it!!!)

...sort of the same:


see what i mean?  but mine doesn't have "With Grace Potter and The Nocturnals" on the print.  hence, the employee's sacreligeous scribble.  the guy who was working that day was like, "my boss would totally kill him if he saw that he did this."

and i also got this after the show:
