We haven't heard from Frosty for awhile which is unusual for him.  So, I sent him a PM asking if all was OK.  He just responded and it is not.  He has broken his lower leg while cleaning up gear after curling.  He asked me to inform the forum.  Here is part of his PM to me:

We were clearing the ice after curling last Saturday. I was bending over to pick some equipment up off the ice and my right foot slipped, shooting straight out sideways, then I it the ice. They had to drag me off the ice then lift me into a chair. I thought I'd sprained it badly so I had one of the others drive me home, carry  me in and put me in my recliner. 

Sunday morning I got transported to the ER by ambulance. I have two non-displaced fractures the Fibular platform and the tibia shaft and knob. My right leg is non-weight bearing for a couple month at least.

He hopes to be able to tell the forum himself soon but in the meantime thoughts and prayers are in order.

Thank  you for the update.

It has been moved to the prayer list.

Frosty, good luck with the recovery. 

  You and Deb are in my prayers, Jerry.  Get well soon.

Best wishes to Frosty for an expedient recovery.

Sorry to hear it, praying for a quick recovery.

I'm hoping for a fast recovery Frosty!

Get well soon.

Keep the faith! 

Just sent up a prayer for quick recovery. That does not sound like fun, though I hope to see a photo of him propped up on crutches beating on hot metal! 

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Frosty.  Ya can't keep a good man down!

Hoping you heal quickly, Frosty!

Ouch. Heal up soon and well buddy. 

Ouch!  At least it's during the "bad weather" season.  He's going to have to get a moose palanquin to get around with... 

Very ouch! Feel better soon!

OW! Get well asap, Frosty. And stay off the ice.

Curling isnt supposed to be a full contact sport Jerry

Curling === Hocky

I will ring the anvil in the garden and if we were closer give you Debi's walker which she does not need after her hip surgery. and wish you a fast healing/recovery.

I think he's just trying to one up Thomas,,,    

Wishing you a fast recovery, Frosty.

And here I had just consulted my Daughter the Veterinarian about treatment regimes for broken legs for larger animals.... 

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Herr, Frosty,

I just got back on the site and got the news of your unfortunate accident.

I have warned many curlers to not resort to battle axes in the rink. Too melodramatic.

But no one listens to me.

Get well real soon. We need you, as well as Deb and the hounds.

Best wishes,

Dan.

Just goes to prove that we don’t bounce like we did when we were younger.
