    For sure get yourself into a Doc. This is not the time for he-man pride. I took 2 hits in one day to the same spot on my right shin. The second one ( block of wood) about caused me to pass out. I saw constellations for a few min. while laying on the ground. Two years later I was in for a doctors visit and mentioned the swelling in that leg that still was present. After an examination he asked me when did I break my leg? It still isn't quite right. Circulation is somewhat impared. Don't take it lightly, it's not worth the risk.

    Thanks much everyone for the thoughts. Went to the doc yesterday. Good news no clots. Even if one forms it's below the knee & can be treated easily. More good news just a very slight fracture. No cast, just an air splint (I already had one) for walking. BUT, I'm running a fever soooooooooo I'm on antibiotics & have to keep the leg elevated for a couple of days & STAY OFF IT. Anybody want to come & play with some mini max toys & finish up this kitchen for me??????????

    Actually my neighbor is a cabinet maker & a great guy & he owes me some shop time & I don't have to install this one & It's suppose to rain so inside the shop is dry & & &........................

    Glad to hear it wasn't any worse, Mark! Follow the Doc's advice. Elevate the leg, have the LOYL set you up with some beverages and catch up on your soap opera's!
    Cheers,
