I'm sure there will also be a cute nurse or two around Largo can regale with larger than life tales ;).
It'll be like the last pitch of Astroman, sans cord. He pops on the final move, but then does some Warner Brothers cartoon stuff on the way down, steps off the falling elevator at the last second, and only bungs an ankle!

Feed him some Percocet and give him a typewriter so we'll all reap the rewards in his next book.
Fodder for Accidents in North American Mountaineering, Largostyle.

Ho man, it was dark outside, and the light indoors was no better ....
Frick, no one will ever care about my sprained thumb with guys like Largo going all compound on us.
Heal up man, we're still shy a couple of books of great stories...

Thank goodness it wasn't the sight of a pretty girl entering the gym to make Largo loose his concentration. That would never happen!
Heal fast, Gramps!

Sh#t happens to the best of us.
I was in a gym climbing on one of those self-belay machines. Up down-up down, over and over until one time, I had a "senior moment" and forgot to clip in.
I was 2/3 the way up and came off. Fortunately, I landed on a matt; and proceeded to limp out, kind of embarrassed. I finally got a cat/scan a week later, since it was still hurting. The result-a fracture thru my tibia.
Heal up fast John.

that sucks... there is a mantra I repeat when I'm at the gym "don't get hurt in the gym, don't get hurt in the gym..."
of course, it happens...
heal up old-dad Largo!

Ed, or working on the roof, or up in a tree!
Gyms are for hardmen. People that don't climb in gyms are tossers.

How in the hell does a honed master such as Largo deck in gym?
Was he unroped?
This report is so way homo.
Largo is so much larger than all this way homo reporting ......

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery... Guess it shows that it can happen to anyone.
I've seen more compound fractures in the gym than in motorcross racing.

Spandex and helmets involved, always ends up bad.
Hope this is a farce, if it ain't, hope your out of pain now.
