That sucks breaking an ankle...Shouldn't these gyms have thick cushioning at the bottom of the routes...?

Grim ......
There's danger at every step.
There will be a new Gym design.
The floor will rise as you move up.
There will be no more danger.
It will become the brave new world inside?
Heal up John ........

If they would just install the walls on pontoons floating on top of a pool, falls would be a lot less dangerous.
Apparently they do.
Kit does not include woman instructor.

One of the worst breaks I'm aware of was a guy at the gym...bouldering. He fell and his foot caught behinds a big hold a few feet off the wall.
Snap.
Bone.
Blood.
Ambulance.
Cleared the gym out instantly.
Heal up fast JL. Super grim.

John!
Climbing wasn't suppose to get more dangerous as we got older.
From what I can tell from your hospital room picture, that looks like a nasty break. Can't see the PCA pump in the photo. Hopefully your nurses are keeping your pain well under control.
Lordy, man: I wish there was something I could do to help.

I hope that picture doesn't mean you had to have surgery, but if you did, I hope it fixed everything up and you're on your way back to 100%.
Indulge in the kindness of others for a while and be good to yourself while you heal. :-)
