En-Route
today was supposed to be my final lesson before my IFR checkride later this week. Things were going great, until yesterday.
Playing soccer with my kids after their game running around right foot landed in a bit of a depression and the right knee buckled back, crack, and down I went. In the air I knew I was porked.
Off to the ER, long story short, CT scan shows comminuted right fibular Head fracture and incomplete tibial plateau fracture. Won’t be working the rudders for a 1-2 months (hopefully).
MRI tomorrow. Surgeon tues. Internally the knee actually feels ok. The rest is crap.
Writhing around on the ground all I could think of is damn, there goes my checkride.
My nana always said the Lord works in strange ways.. The 182 is due for its annual this month, maybe they’ll find something really wrong...
