    Well I went to see a doctor today and he had more bad news for me - I have a broken ankle, so it doesn't look like I'll be riding a ski for a while. Now I have a moonboot, crutches, and can't drive my car either ... and several screws on the way. Ah well, at least I'll have the time on my hands to finish putting the proper footholds into my ski now!

    So these are the magic windsurfer footstraps, I got the idea from my Blaster where they work really well. I've been using them for almost a year now so they weren't immediately fatal... I've just noticed I ripped a few of the rivets out on my right footstrap - that might be why I am not a complete invalid.

    This shows the swelling compared to my other foot. Still doesn't look as bad as it is in real life.

    A little bit of internal bleeding?

    An acute fracture of the Medial malleolus

    6 weeks of healing will start when the screws go in next week, then I can start rehab on the tendon damage. Christ knows how long that will take, and the doctors won't know until they have a poke around inside my ankle.

    This should serve as a visual reminder to any fool (like me) who thinks windsurfer footstraps are OK to use on their poleski.

    Thats exactly the same as my mate Gavins ankle looked after he broke it even the internal bleeding is the same. Not much good news there.. His took about 8 weeks before he could walk on it. Just wrap it in plastic and ride the blaster :)
