man I am really sorry about the crazy cost.. this seems to me no HDHP, it seems like almost no plan at all.. I mean what is the plan paying?
my total costs so far (which I hope the insurance will pay) are still under 20k.. how long was your surgery? i was awake during mine and it lasted about 45 mins..
on the questions, I was wearing straps.. and I think the problem was that I was not able to kick away the board, which caused my knee to rotate during the crash.. I was also not on my usual board (SS vision), but on a Cabrina custom.. which I really like but i think it has streps that are too sticky..the crazy thing is that that day I was landing every jump, and feeling in total control...
and yes I fractured my left leg, that's why I can drive(automatic car) see that's the other thing about my doc.. asked him about braces.. he goes.. nahh you don't need no stinking brace..
only think I wear, which helps a ton with the swelling, is a compression sleeve..
anyway, let's have faith and hope things end up well for both of us!!

Couple questions:
Were you riding boots or straps when you had your injury?
Dr said you can drive and Fly... Which leg is fractured (right or left)?
There was no way my leg would bend after surgery. It took 2 weeks then they put a 45 degree brace on. My quad just started working yesterday. In october I get it changed to 90 deg. I was told that I can't drive for another 3 months.
FYI - the cost of this injury is now at $145,000 (still increasing). I have an HDHP and it sucks.
