Don't be Afraid of the Roller Derby

Before you look at the pictures below, let me assure you that they are NOT for the faint or weak at heart. They're graphic pics of after surgery for a broken ankle. Here's the note that I got with the pics:
Some of you know I joined the Duke City Derby in Albuquerque. Well I haven't skated in 4 years and went to Tucson to watch the Dust Devil competition. I joined the Sunday scrimmage and on my 3rd time out, I fell backwards over my left leg in a t-stop and broke my ankle. It was a stupid accident and I probably shouldn't have been out there being I'd only been involved in derby for a month but you know how I am and here are my pics.


I expect to be walking by the end of April. As soon as I can, I'll be riding my motorcycles. And then I'll go back to skating. It was great for the short time I was doing it and I hope I can avoid this accident in the future.
