Stepped off a curve wrong right before the start of today's race and somehow snapped his femur. Ambulance took him to Vandy, where the surgeon had to operate and put in a rod. He is doing okay, but it was a heck of a way to start a race.

OMG!! The FEMUR?? How random. Damn, poor Peter!!

Actually, it wasn't as random as it sounds. Apparently, he has osteoporosis (I think that was the cause of his last injury?)...And it was kind of just a matter of where and when. But now he's bionic with metal rods and bolts!

Trent- do you know if he takes the Forteo injections? Sounds like that might be warranted. I had to take them in 2007 after my broken knee (skiing) didn't heal properly and some of the other osteoporosis meds was a contributing factor. Sounds like Peter would be a candidate for Forteo.

Slowly healing and recovering.

 

Peter has severe osteoporosis, although not as bad as it would be if he did not run.  Femur breaks are uncommon, but Peter is at increased risk for them.

After Dark 8K

 

This is a different direction from Smyrna and a much longer drive, correct?

 

But I am intrigued.
