tibial plateau fracture day


10 years ago today 
I went to take a job
Walking dogs 
For extra money. 

The job paid $5 a dog. 
15 minute walk 
Twice a day. 
Nurses and teachers
Won’t steal 
Won’t drink your booze
Won’t miss work. 
So they hire us for 
Dog walking. Especially 
Super early shifts 
Muggles hate early shifts. 


Got knocked down by dogs 
And ended up in the ER 


Tibial Plateau Fracture
10 mm depression fracture. 
Half an inch. 


Plus this consolation prize:
Torn Meniscus 
Torn ACL 
Torn MCL
Torn PCL
Incomplete evulsion fracture 
On the ankle. Below the break. 

I was knocked down by 4 big dogs 
Each 75 pounds-
Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. 
And one Chihuahua. 

12 week no weight bearing 
12 weeks crutches 

Two years on a cane. 


Now I hike and frolic and play
All Around the USA. 

I didn’t regain! 
16 years Low Carb
It works if you work it!
