Not sure what exactly happened, but I was most likely playing impatient defense, got beat and must have turned to follow the other player and twisted my leg “just right.” Several people heard the snap across the soccer field. These photos are the result!

I was transported to the emergency room and had surgery late that night. Surgeon installed a pin in the tibia and I am recovering without a cast, off work for a couple of weeks until I get my next instructions from the doctor.

That soccer game made a real Mess of Me!
