Thanks, there are a lot of other people here with similar injuries. Just a couple of them and I are gung-ho on our therapy, leading me to believe we will be among the ones who walk out of here.

O no! My goodness. Damit! You are my joy on KZread. I come and go in comments because my life has hit some rough spots lately. But I’m always watching your new videos. Please heal.

I remember you from comments on making fiberglass spheres. Thanks for the advice on that. I'd still like to discuss having you fabricate some parts if you are interested. Sorry to hear about your rough spots in life. Healing and walking again are my main goals for now.

Have a speedy and complete recovery!

Thank you. Working on therapy is my number one goal for the next year.

I didn't know how you built that boat dock in those flip flops. I'd have been in the water. So you keep up the accelerated physical therapy, and find some sensible shoes. And get well enough to walk out of there. We'll be here, when you're ready.

Thanks! The flip flops are good sand shoes, but I got some sketchers which let me shove my feet into them without tying laces. They stay on real good until I force them off.

Get well soon Jim hope to see you on your boat soon

It's unfortunate what happened to you♡ I'm really glad you were near a phone. Wishing you a speedy recovery! We ♡ you!

Thanks! I am glad I was near the phone as well. There is no way I could have moved from where I was. I actually spent a while trying to disbelieve what had happened before breaking down and dialing 911.

Glad you're on the mend! Jim, you have to be careful! It's easy to get hurt. Slipping, tripping and stumbles .... stairs, shower rooms with wet floors, washing feet and not getting all the soap removed before putting feet back on the shower floor!!!

Thanks! I'm re-thinking a lot at this point. Its scary how fragile a human being can be.

So good to see your happy fuzzy face.😀 I see determination in your spirit that will take you to your goal. Take this time to work on the upper body as well.With a little effort any one of us can look better than Arnold Schwarzenegger. That upper body strength will help you climb that ladder back into that boat. 💪 Group Hug.

Thanks! Not sure if I will look like Ahhhnold, but I am getting stronger every day. I can already do the asian squat and pick myself up from the floor, so the ladder is definitely possible. Its a deadly serious test. Anyone unable to climb back onto the boat from the water, simply cannot go

Get well soon!

Thanks! I give 110% in therapy. I need to walk out of here. Being wheeled out will not cut it when I want to get back on the boat.

When I was young dangerous stuff was cars that went over 100mph, playing with guns, and pretty girls with with big boy friends. Now dangerous stuff is flip flops/crocs, throw rugs, and wet tile. I have about given up on standing in a rocking boat. Speedy recover to you. Once I had someone who could not climb back aboard a the boat so she stood on the cavitation plate on the motor, then we raised the trim/tilt on the motor and she was able to step into the splashwell. Not ideal, but worked in a pinch.

Thanks for the advice about using the motor tilt as a lift to get a stranded swimmer back on the boat. Those words could save another life one day. Don't give up on the standing on a rocking boat. There is too much enjoyment to be had on a boat. We will both make it!

@@ninehundreddollarluxuryyac5958 thank you, I can sit and drive, but I had to sell my boat a couple of years ago. Hoping to find another one sometime.

My opinions, for what they're worth: 1. Look into Condroitin-Sulfate supplements to rebuid bone and cartilage - Jello is a cheap substitue 2. Exercise to build quadricep strength and body build to keep all parts of the body strong and elastic 3. Work to improve your flexibility to loosen up and resist getting stiffer that you have allowed your body to become 4. Never give up! You were born for the seas and adventure!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers!

Thanks for the encouragement. I think my femur was only broken in one place, where the 90 degree bend is before the hip socket. I hope you get full use of your leg back. The harder you work in therapy, the more likely you will recover fully, or as close to it as possible. Never give up! I regret trading my MacGregor 26X for the catamaran, but I needed the stability of the cat to support my solar experiment. I hope to buy another 26-X again one day. It was the best boat I ever owned.
