Just found out the info below. It is not life threatening, but I feel like putting in a prayer request for Michael Neal. He has been one of this states (nc) best lifters and always friendly. He was gearing up for the Dec. 03 AAU meet and had an accident.
Here is his post below:
My doctor called today, he got the x-rays back from the radiologist. In addition to having a spot where the tendon pulled off the bone, I have a hair line fracture of the lateral maleous of the fibula, that's the bottom of the fibula, outside the ankle. He wants me to keep treating it myself like a sprain for another week, then if I am still in pain or have any other problems to come back in for more x-rays and a sock to immobilize the ankle until it heals. I don't think it will come to that, it still hurts, dull pain when I flex it in any direction, a lesser dull ache continuously. I think it is healing fine on it's own but I haven't squatted in three weeks now, was planning on starting back this week but now I don't know, Not sure about lifting in December, time is getting close and I am hesitant to train. Not really worried about it if everything goes right but a stumble with 800+ might be a problem. Not sure of anything right now.
God Bless you Michael and hope our Saviour Jesus Christ blesses you with a full and speedy recovery,
Amen, Mike
