    ***UPDATE***

    I had the surgery yesterday. Doc opened up my foot and installed three screws to keep the joints together. He said that there are a couple of bones in there that look like crushed cornflakes and that there wasn't anything he could do about them. I'm going to have problems out of my left foot for the rest of my life and that I could develop arthritis in it by the time I'm 40. He did say that I can drive again, but he's putting me on full loading restriction. No more loading and unloading for me, which sucks, because that's how I got a lot of exercise. Regardless, I'll be back in the game soon. I've got this big ol' Frankenstein boot on my foot and I can't put any weight on it, but at least it's fixed. Thanks for all the texts, well-wishes, and hurry-back-soon's. I appreciate it. The truth about truck drivers is this: We look out for our own. Y'all are awesome. :biggrin_25514:

    Miz, I don't know, pal. Of course, it could go either way. I could be kept on to drive or I could be ****canned. Only time will tell. But I'll let y'all know what happens as I find something out.

    Glad that you got patched up A-OK. Did they give you an estimate as to how long you'll be out of commission? I don't do any loading or unloading, maybe you should go back to pulling a box!
    Take care my friend and thanks for the update.

    sorry to hear you got hurt --hopefully things work out ok for you--its just fate--people can fall of the top of a 13' load and be ok--and another can can fall off a drop deck and be broken up
    however i know a couple guys who still were working with the frankenstein boot on--makes doing the pedal work a bit complicated if it is your right foot
    take care and heal it up
