These will be out of order... This is me lying in the amubulance.
|
"Congrats! Your knee is broken!"
|
The last picture before the race... er... accident.
|
Chandra finding out where they are taking me...
|
Laura consoling me...
|
Now I'm just mugging for the camera... and lovin' the Demerol!
|
I had obviously cut my hair off, too. Too dang hot!
|
|
|
The gears on the right are not in my leg. I was X-Rayed with the brace on. That bump at the top actually pushes out from my skin... looks like a knuckle.

David and Chandra
|
At the time, I thought I'd be running The Rock this year.
|
"Hey Dummy! Don't run tomorrow! Your life is about to REALLY change!!!"
|
Riverwalk in OKC
|
|
Our friends were taking pics of people running...
|
The new me...
|
|
Past those orange barriers are the white barriers I jumped over... and bit it big time!
|
"Look Ma... No Knee Cap..."
|
What is up with my hair???
|
Nice and swollen... oddly enough, it didn't hurt that much.
|
This is the next day in Dallas. From Sunday until Wednesday, I had 2 kneecaps. One in my thigh, the other a bit lower...
|
Two weeks after the surgery
|
Still stitched...

Shows the wires in my knee
|
My new knee
|
Saturday before the race, we were heading to the expo. This is me imitating that old man puppet.
|
|
At a cool bar
|
|
|
|
They thought we were coming up. They had no idea I was lying on the ground about a 100 yards from them...
|
|
Back from X-Ray...
|
The Demerol is kicking in...
|
Can you see the crater that once was my knee?
|
I LUV ME SOME DRUGS...
|
After two hours of surgery and over an hour in the Recovery Room, they wheeled me back to my hospital room... this is what I looked like minutes after arriving.
|
Follow Up Doctor visit... two weeks later.
|
My left leg just kept getting smaller and smaller..
|
|
Looks a little more "repaired" than before...
|
Downtown Oklahoma City prior to the race.
|
OKC Marathon Expo
|
|
Good times
|
|
Why is this Italian restaurant next to a Pizza Hut???
|
Just before the race...
|
Day before the surgery, Chandra and I went to Target. Seriously... this thing is helpful and fun!
