That doesn't look good at all, any pics after the wettie was cut.

You gotta love the aftermath photos. Not good at the time, but a good story afterwards :)

All the best with your recovery Dave.

Would love to hear the full story. Did the ambulance come to you or did you have to meet them on the road?

Is that a scar from a fin chop on your heel as well, if so you've certainly been in the wars...

Hey Poida there are some of us Ambo's who know exactly where Ders is.

We had already organized to meet him at the air up/down area. If not I would have called for the helicopter.

Those ambo's guys were awesome maybe they need a 4x4 in some areas , stoked with the service they provide and without there help I would have lost my foot due to no circulation.

Nice work mate. The rod i had down the inside of my femur and the nuts and bolts never set it off but i did try. I even asked for it when they removed it two years later and they said no and that they send it to third world countries and reuse it . Nice. Probably for the better you cant feel anything just yet mate. Keep us updated tomorrow with your progress and get some good rest tonight. Take care. Scott

the Velcro boot is most likely a modern replacement for the ol plaster cast and gives them a chance to keep an eye on the area when necessary. Expect some muscle wastage and pale skin but you'll be back soon enough better than ever.[/quote

Thanks Stu ! I have been messing around with some other methods and also tweaking some existing ones nothing better than
