What a HUGE mistake that turned out to be....Craig managed to take a 12 foot fall stuck in a ladder from our back patio to the ground! He had his kneecap stuck in between two steps of the ladder, with his leg fully hyperextended and his foot touching his chest! He ended up tearing his meniscus, breaking his fibula out of the knee joint, shattering his tibula, completely tearing his hamstring off of the bone and a few other fractures throughout his knee and shin!!! Poor guy ended up with 2 plates and about 20 screws, as well as a reattached hamstring :( After a few days in the hospital, we are home and he is on the LONG road to recovery! He is non-weight bearing for three months and will require a great deal of physical therapy to regain function of his leg. Fortunately he can work from home so he and I will be spending a whole lot of time together ;)
