was this a recent thing or a while back? A buddy from work told me this morning about a relative of his that had a flatbed pull out in front of him, and he swerved to miss it but caught his foot on the truck. It separated some spongy thing from the bone in his heel, and apparently this tissue doesn't heal, ever, so he has the choice of never being able to walk on it again without severe pain, or amputating and getting a prosthesis that he can actually walk on. Talk about a crappy decision to have to make.

This happened in April, I spent four months on bed rest and pretty much unable to move around.
Right now the fat pad on my heel (same as his) is damaged and on the outside area cut out. I probably will not be able to walk with out some form of foot wear, so far I've been healing extremely well and on my second week of walking with the cane have been able to walk with out it at times with moderate pain.
Then again its also important to know that I have an extremely high pain tolerance, when I was in the ER immediately after the accident I rated the pain as an uncomfortable 4. So maybe I'm 'walking it off' sort of speak.
I'll be writing up articles on all the gear I wore, how it held up, and what damage was incurred at the time of the accident.
