or else risk leaving it there for a long time!

Turns out you would be amazed just how useful 3rd gear is... 15mph to 90, no problem.

By the way, broke the tibia at a company softball game.
MRI is on tuesday, wednesday they will tell me what else is fubar'ed!

Sounds like you are going to need a chauffer for a bit.

very sorry to hear that... i shattered my right foot about 2 years back and had a nice collection of hardware in it for a while. i couldn't drive for about 2 months. i was driving a prelude at the time, and finally managed to get behind the wheel when i went from a hard cast to a walking boot. man, did i had a huge grin on my face. it was like hitting the vtec changeover for the very first time.

well there apparently is a ligament that attaches to the top of the tibia, the fall ripped that part off the top of the tibia. Along with fracturing the other bone(femur?) MRI is on tues., with a dr visit on wed. Looks like I will not be driving the S for awhile.

Which leg did you break?? If it was the left, it would've been tough to use the cluth. If it was the right, it wouldn't have been too bad.

Here's hoping to a speedy recovery for you.
