    No just a serious sprain if I recall correctly. I don't think there were any broken bones. Somewhere back in this thread is her status, but it's been a while since I posted it, not positive on that.
    Your safety is not my responsibility.

    It was stated as "shattered", which in not technically, a technical term, but indicates a high level of damage, that can require extensive surgery and rehab. Sounds like it did!

    Fun thread! Worth reading again.

    Thanks for the update. That was a very interesting thread. Agree with Tom, ankle sprains do not usually hold PhD candidates back for very long.

    Thanks for the thread revival on this one.
    Epic tale.
    Excellent feedback.
    Worth the two-hour burn at work.
    Am now taking inventory on my own survival skill-set applied in the backcountry/wilderness environment and inspired to address the weak points.
    Hat-tip to Deathcricket.
