Broken Leg

Im gonna be a junior in high school and I just attended a football camp less then a month ago, and a big lineman fell on the back of my leg, breaking my fibula and my tibia both in half. When i sat up a few seconds after it happened my shin was waving from side to side and i thought i was dreaming, it was pretty sick looking. Then they had surgery a few hours after it happened to set the bone. Then a couple days later they had a surgery and put a plat and screws in to hold the bone together. They never put my in a real cast, but they had me in a splint for allmost 1 month, and now ive had this removable book thing for about a week, its pretty nice. The doctor told me to only put a little weight on it because it helps bone growth, and that ill only have the boot on for a month or two.

Good Luck
