So, last night I was moving equipment for a show... As per normal, we tore everything down and hustled it out the door as fast as possible... Well, I went snowboarding on Sunday so I was pretty tired, weak, and sore. On top of that we have to move all our gear down a dark flight of stairs ('cause the land-lord doesn't seem to replace light bulbs).
I was carrying my 8x10 (http://www.ampeg.com/products.htm?product=28&catid=11) speaker cabinet down the stairs with the singer... I thought I reached the last step but hadn't... And BAM!! In under a second I was sprawled out on the stairs with my speaker cab crushing me... Totally wrecked my ankle and got all banged up.
The good news is I didn't break anything and was still able to play the show (after 5 beers)... The bad news is that I screwed up a ligament in my grapefruit sized ankle... The Doc it'll take 6-8 weeks to heal, but I should be relatively pain free in about a week. And the weather chooses NOW to be sunny. :cry:
The other bad news is that the fall over-stressed one of my 25-year-old speakers and the magnet came off... DAMN!
Well, it could have been WAY worse... At least the doc said I could ride in a few weeks and snowboard a few weeks later (with a brace). :thumb:
that sucks
glad your allright though :)
if you were really hurt all you would have to do all day was sit with your leg proped up and post whore here :icon_razz:
And here I thought you had just wet your pants.
Glad it wasn't any worse. At least you'll still be able to ride. Feel better! :thumb:
sucks. glad you werent killed by the cabinet.
Thanks guys... I keep being pissy about being hurt, but then I think about what could have happened... :o
The doc even said I could snowboard... I wasn't expecting that. :thumb:
6-8 weeks with a sore ankle is nothing compared to a collar bone and ribs. :oops: (I'm such a sissy :laugh: )
Glad you're not seriously hurt (physically anyway... Your brains probably gonna be screaming "let me out" in a couple days of not being able to ride :laugh:)
