View Full Version : Matthewski is hurt and we need help!
Matty just called and says he think he has broken his ankle! What we need is someone to go to Overmountain Shelter and pick him up and take him to the doc and then bring him here to my house if he does not need surgery....
Can anyone help?

I just spoke to him; he's going to call Bob Peoples.
He said the ankle is all swelled up and he doesn't want to walk on it...
I just talked to Matty as well, he says it is swollen pretty good but he can put a little pressure on it, anyway everything is going to work out I hope........

Glad to hear there is a road. I got out a topo map and it isn't on it ????
sounds like it's all under control, which is good to hear. Hope Matty's not hurt bad and that he can get back out there when he feels ready!!
Just talked to Bob and he says that Matty is going to meet janet at the trail head. If that damn things broken, i mean where the hell is the trail head at?
I'm sory to hear Matty is hurt, big fat bummer! That sucks. I'm sure he's already done all this but if anyone else talks to him, make sure he takes some Vitamin I, splint the ankle or use something as a compression wrap and keep it elevated until the cavalry arrives.

Naw, it is easy to get close too, and an easy walk up a gravel road to the shelter. Check out this map and see if it looks familiar:
http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=36.122988,-82.051349&spn=0.004836,0.011716&t=h&z=17
This is actually a really good place if something like this is going to happen. I imagine it could have happened south of there, the trail coming down from the back of Jane Bald and the side trail to Long Grassy Bald was a bad mud slide of a trail when I did it.
.3 miles, according to my references...
I walked it, I think it is a little longer than that, probably more like 0.5
Its good that he has that big walking staff. He can use it for a crutch. It will carry a lot of weight.

And give it time to heal! I had a sprained ankle in MA. Took me two weeks and it was only grade one. Check here (http://www.arthroscopy.com/sp09005.htm)about sprains, etc.

Exactly what I was thinking Blissful. Glad to hear it's a sprain but don't underestimate the severity of it even if its not broken. Sounds like it might be a grade 2, in which case you should invest in a sturdy ankle wrap/brace before even thinking about setting foot on the trail again.

i know you get more swelling wearing a wrap. staying off it and ibuprofin is the only way. all that other stuff is useless. .
I had a severe ankle injury for two years and had one this past summer in MA on the AT. Ice and a compression wrap (esp ice) is necessary to keep the swelling down so the tissue can begin healing, esp in the first 72 hours of injury. Lots of fluid in there means there is no fresh blood supply getting to the injured area. You can look it up online, but every medical and sports opinion says RICE is the way to go. As it is, you are probably looking at a good 3 to 6 weeks of healing time including Physical Therapy (which you can do on your own once the swelling goes down).
But whatever you want to do...
take care.

Still, Matthewski's spelling is totally fair game for anyone!
Did the same thing April 4 at Horse Gap. There isn't anything like the trail community to come to your aid. Thanks to a couple of hikers, Sam and Bill, who came down the trail behind me about 30 minutes after the fall I was able to get to the road. They contacted Josh (Hiker Hostel) who picked me up in about an hour. James, a trail angel stopped on the road, set up a tarp, and shared apples until Josh arrived. The tarp saved me from a real down pour. Went to the orthopedists in Dahlonega. They are a great team. I was able to remove my brace this last week. Swelling is slowly going down. See you all at Trail Days.

ibuprofen good. Aleve much better, stronger and with more anti-inflammatory properties. Take 3 at a time; 3 times a day for a few days.
Just a word of warning for everyone regarding naproxen products (Brand Names: Aleve, Aleve Caplet, Anaprox, Anaprox-DS, EC-Naprosyn, Naprelan '500', Naprosyn). Sun sensitivity can be a side effect of naproxen. I don't know if it's very common, but last summer I developed it while taking naproxen daily for a knee problem.
The reaction was kind of a cross between mild sunburn and mild hives. I could feel my skin start to prickle and itch with even one minute in the sun, just walking from the car into a store. When I finally figured out what was causing it and stopped the naproxen, my skin took a good 3 weeks to stop reacting.
So if you haven't taken it before, please be aware that this could happen. It wouldn't make for pleasant hiking.

There's no disorder, as Mattski displays no symptoms real or otherwise. Unless you're insinuating that excessive kindness is some kind of disorder. I'd say the opposite is the case. Maybe you're really a nice guy with a factitious disorder who is intentionally mean to give the impression you have some kind of real disorder. By the way, is that an actual disorder?

There's no disorder, as Mattski displays no symptoms real or otherwise. Unless you're insinuating that excessive kindness is some kind of disorder. I'd say the opposite is the case. Maybe you're really a nice guy with a factitious disorder who is intentionally mean to give the impression you have some kind of real disorder. By the way, is that an actual disorder? I mean if pretending to be sick is itself a sickness then aren't you really sick? This post is getting too recursive for me so I'm gonna stop now....
Munchausen's.
Munchausen's.Yeah!, except they actually make themselves sick, with poison and stuff.
Matt makes himself better, with love and kindness and stuff. But he's probably faking it.

I thought that was chicken or egg? Oh wait, bacon comes first.

Well, I guess if you were able to cross a Bacon with a chicken you would come up with and egg that just screamed "Eat me".

Matty has been rescued already. He's all better now. I think we can close this thread.

PanzerThis was only the first rescue. Why don't you think there will be more to come?

I hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it, your probably right. Maybe when he gets here to PA we'll arrange on "2nd official rescue" for him.
