I broke the tibia and the fibula and tore some ligaments. How? Lifting the front wheel to high and forgetting to modulate the brake. Stepped off to not land on my unhelmeted pip and POP.

Eish !!!  I broke the tibia and the fibula in March, luckily no ligaments.  I'm almost back to normal, cant run on it yet though.

Baie sterkte with the recovery, its a pain in the arse !

Ja ja, they are lower, and the pain in the foot and ankle is very real.  The recovery process is a pain in the arse because you suddenly get hugely dependent on other to do even simple tasks.
