Heal up fast Cragman. That looks painful :(
If it makes you feel any better, when I was out at June Lake a few weeks ago a certain local dude you might know told me about how he once stuck more than an inch of a monopoint crampon frontpoint into his calf by accident.
My eyes bugged out when he told me about this. Apparently he didn't go to the doctor, just washed it out real good and then super-glued it shut ! He said it was sore for some time (!)

I've been trying not to post all day. That wound gives me the heebie jeebies. Glad you can laugh about it a little bit. Front of your shin has very low vascularity. And if your shins are like mine they're about half scar tissue anyway. Will likely take a long time to heal. ~shivver me timbers~
Take it easy. Enjoy the remaining foosball games. Get well.

I took an odd bouldering fall in the gym back in October and tweaked my left heel. Went to the same ortho who cast my other heel when I broke it in 2007. She took x-rays .. no breaks, "just" a bone bruise. She said it would probably take about a month before it stopped hurting. Which was about right.
I mentioned the monopoint incident earlier partly because my left calf has been healing up from a similar, ah, 'encounter' .. good wishes. Mine wasn't as serious, but the ER did give me antibiotics, a tetanus shot, soft-tissue x-rays, copius irrigation, etc. There goes my ppo deductible for the year.

I was on lots of opiate painkillers when I was in the hospital after breaking my neck -- first the hard stuff, then percocet, oxycontin, oxycodone .. they weaned me off it before discharge thankfully.
That stuff depresses your digestion which I guess is the cause of the constipation and they had me taking stool softeners as a result. Nasty stuff really.
Hope your infection goes away soon !

Sorry to hear you're still not healed.
Leg injuries, especially on shin can take a long time.
I trust you have a fine doctor.
If the injury doesn't make continuous, noticeable progress please go back to see him/her right away.
My neighbor nearly lost his leg when his "doctor" dropped the ball. His wounds from surgery were failing to improve and he and his doc ignored it. Until the infection nearly took his leg. Then he had to go to a wound specialist. I'd say they saved his leg. His wounds IMMEDIATELY started improving and now he's OK.
Just keep an eye on it.
Sorry you're missing your Ecuador departure. BUMMER. Hang tough

Oh gawd Cragman. Better amputate that thing 'fore it spreads north.
Those post drivers are bad news. Years ago when I worked on a landscape crew my boss was driving a t-stake with one of those. He looked away for a second and when he pulled down somehow managed to twist the handle toward his head. I was working around the corner and could hear the whole thing... Ping... Ping... Ping... ... ...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!! He was dancing around like a chicken with his head cut off and my buddy and I were laughing so hard we couldn't even help him. Poor fella. He survived.

Cragman, hope for a speedy recovery for that shin. it looks nasty.
Same type of injury happened to me with the same exact tool.
Sept 12,01 , day after New York attacks; my large malamute decide to chase a cat out from our yard.She broke down the fence of our neighbor, , continued thru his fence into the yard the cat lived at,, trashed thru the kitty door of their house. She ended up killing their cat, tore up carpets,; antique furniture.Then she killed their sons pig.
As if all this wasent enough, while mending the fences, I too was driving T posts to put up temporary horse type fencing. I looked back because my dogs were spazzing . The pile driver went up over top of the post, came down , just glancing my privates, (whew!!)ended up tearing large flappers into 3 of my toes and breaking my middle toe.Took me out of climbing for the next two months . Lots of agony and gimping around.
I still had to finish the fencing, and the neighbors have never sued me. We have become very good freinds since. GET WELL SOON

Wow, interesting story flakyfoont! Glad to here it turned out OK.
Similar thing happened to my nephew and his dogs(Malamute)chased and did some damage to a pair of Lamas. Actually didn't physically hurt the animals but the neighbor sued because he felt that they were traumatized and didn't reproduce for some time thereafter. Tried to take my nephews house etc(Colorado). My nephew had a nervous breakdown, a real mess. It all worked out OK in the end, the judge tossed it out as frivolous, etc.
Point being...not sure what the point is!
Well one thing is for sure, them pile drivers can do some damage eh!

I try to keep it in my own yard now. I have added an electric wire to the bottom of the fence. The old dogs dont go near it, but the young ones have figured out to grab the plastic insulators and tear them off.

Your story made my day!
I've got five rescued dogs, four of them part Akita.
I too have a yard full of holes and have spent a fortune on fencing, reinforced fencing, higher fencing, deeper fencing, and double fencing. I just had to weave heavy wire through all the chain link tying it back on the frame as they got so excited when the neighbors five chickens came to the front of the house, that they flattened the fence. Fortunately it took them long enough to beat it down that the chickens ran back home.
American dogs killing Japanese chickens could quickly become another international incident on Okinawa!

He shattered his ankle and really wreaked his fib and tibula 14 months ago in a climbing fall. could of been much worse... but he still cant walk . has now had 3 or 4 surgeries. each gettin better than the last but still along way from weight bearing,, let alone walkin or climbing. he' a trooper and usually over does his therapy . im suprised he has not run into skole , but doesnt really know him . prior to his accident he was drivin buses for some river rafting out fit for the last 8 yrs . (fred harvy or something like that in j.hole)

Cragman-
So sorry to hear this!
It's definitely time to go after this with everything possible.
There are times when stoicism is called for but this isn't it.
Any chance you have high blood sugar that is making this hard to heal?

Hope to here something a little more encouraging when you return from the docs!! If they don't initiate IV anti-biotics you should get another opinion.
Before you know it, their gonna be reccomending a BKA!!!

You certainly have blown my theory that people only get bad infections in the tropics.
You must have some killer germs on the east side.
Here's hoping you're getting to the end of it.

gee whiz wally, i always thought only good things happened in wonderland.
it seems a little silly that even the 22nd guy on the field shows up to pile on the football trying influence the outcome,
but here i am feeling a little akward. besides these pants don't have any pockets so i may as well lend a hand
and put some oomph into it, hope it makes the difference

when you bumped that wound, it put you back into communication with those nerves,
now it will heal up quickly. you watch.
don't ask me the technical details, i just know it works.

hey there cragman, say... i been pushing this sewing project and i am without sleep far too much, so i have not been able to jump back in here and see how you are...
god bless.... say, sounds a lot better... but are you sure you should go run off to "all the great chores, both near and far?"
take care, we do NOT want any relapses... only a relapse into good health and strength, ... ;)
god bless... :)

You need to stay focused when doing something dangerous, like pounding rebar or....
Looks like an accident waiting to happen.

If they're purple that's ok and makes some sense, but from the photo they definitely look pink so I was wondering who would even make pink boots for men and why?

The use of color is cultural anyway. Japanese men are fond of pastels and it is common here to see a group of sun burnt construction workers dressed in matching pink or lavendar outfits. The cement trucks here are sometimes pink and lavendar as well.

shuffling around mexico city in the mid seventies we noted and abundance of vw bugs that were either hot fuscha pink
or rescue lime green. it might have been competing taxi outfits if memory serves.
on any flight i angle for a window seat, and my nose adheres to the plexi. the view from above mexico city revealed the true extent
of the craze, speckled throughout the city, no highlighter necessary to emphasis the numbers involved.
i'm at a complete loss as to how to tie this back to the hurt cragman, but so it goes. how about, let the healing resume!

Thank goodness we have antibiotics even if it seems to take quite a few of then to do the job these days. I've seen people in Nepal with gangrene from those kinds of wounds. Anyway, that's what I think about whenever I suffer through modern medicine - at least I have access to it which is better than the alternative.

Just pull on your pink or purple boots and go kick some ice dude...

hey there cragman... say, wow, why is that, that it keeps getting reinfected... ?
was there something that was never cleaned well, initially?
just curious...
say, or is it just that bones are highly upset when "hurt upon"
and refuse to heal with ease?
sure am glad you got yet another mess cleaned up as to it all...
you are making us more than a mite worried, even as we worried about
pat, a ways back...
say, keep getting well, and keep up the good spirits...
(sure you ain't pushing it much, by agrivating it, due to walking as to pressure on it? mmmeaning that i do know, movement is neccesary, etc)...
well, god bless...
:)
still praying, too...
:)
