Alpinfox Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Porter was climbing at the UW rock this evening and took a weird fall and broke his leg (tibia and fibula). He is at Harborview now and will be getting surgery to install a pin in his tibia sometime soon. He is taking it well, but is obviously bummed since he was just starting to get back in shape from his last medical issue. Please send best wishes! The guy has had a shitty year. Quote
David Trippett Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 jesus, that sucks bigtime....get well soon Porter. Quote
rmncwrtr Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Oh, Porter, I'm so sorry to hear this. Hope you heal quickly! Take care. xoxox Quote
Adam13 Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Sorry to hear that, I dont know him personally, but get well soon man. Never good to hear of a climber gettin hurt, especially someone at the end of a long rehab road as it is. Again get well soon and feel better. Quote
Dechristo Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 JEEZUSSS!!Q!~ I say Carl put a hit on Porter for not buyin' his nails. ...or, maybe, Archenemy did it over the big tarp debaucle... But, it took place near a center for higher learning? FOOKIN' Raindawg, the malicivious pontificunt, did it! String him up Quote
marylou Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Dammit, Porter, I'm so sorry. Welcome to our sad little club. I'll keep you in my thoughts for a speedy recovery, and am heading in for ankle surgery #3 myself in a couple of weeks. Obey your doctors, and let that baby heal! Quote
wayne Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 I did a tib-fib-spiral once, its not worth it. Get out of it while you can. At least the summers over, Dang Quote
AlpineK Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Damn Porter. I always used to think that nothing bad could happen at the UW rock. I know what it feels like to be badly messed up for a long time. I figured you'd done your time before this. Get better as soon as you can Quote
cj001f Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Damn - that sucks. Get better Porter! I must have just missed him at the UW rock Quote

tanstaafl Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Sheesh. Here's to a quick recovery Oly. Injuries suck. At least you should be back on your feet in time to use that new backcountry set-up from your last hospital stay! Quote
fern Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 another ploy ... try as you might you will not escape ... all your pushup are belong to me Quote
Sherri Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 At least it wasn't from a bad cup of joe this time(gotta watch out for that "barista virus" ). Still sucks. Get well soon, Porter! Quote
Kat_Roslyn Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 I'm sorry to hear this friend. I know you've been getting strong lately, and you'll definitly get there again. You can do it. Unfortunately I hear 'they' are taking down the grand wall and Mount Stuart. If you need someone to hang out with Ulee, you know I have a lot of time off. Quote
archenemy Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 So Sorry, Porter. You can keep the tarps afterall. No need to go to such extremes. Get well soon! Quote
dbb Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 dang porter, sorry to hear it. Get well soon! Quote
