1000mg is 100 times the normal HIGH dose for Vicodin (normally 5, 7.5, 10mg), your'e damned lucky others were awake when this happened! I hope you have a speedy recovery, are they going to do a surgical repair?
Looks like you must've been wearing your MX boots, good evidence on how protective they are. You should see the legs of those who don't wear 'em.
Hopefully those without boots will consider buying some!

Heel guards are long sinced broken and removed.
They saif the it was 2 500mg vicadin at the hospital. Didnt look closely at them, perhaps they were 10mg vacadin and the rest acetometaphin? either way 2, 500mg tablets.
They did have to do CPR long to get me breathing again, but thank God someone was there. And yes, the wife about blew a gasket.
They have me in a walking boot right now, not a single Orthopedic surgeon in the office this week. Saw a PA, he took new film, its broken in about 4 pieces, but everything is still local (the bones) so it looks good for healing without surgery.
I taped it up really good and went riding at the dunes on Sunday. If I keep the ankle imobilized it doesnt hurt too bad.
I had tech 8's on, the Tire broke one braket and buckly off the boot, the fracture happened above the top of the boot. If I hadnt been wearing a quality boot, my ankle and Tibia would have joined the fibula in being broken. It was a very violent event.

that reminds me of teh time i was practicing at a track, and hit a failry big jump..and landed and the impact threw my left foot off the peg and into the ground...but my foot didnt break..instead i went ridin on with a sharp pain in the top of my foot, and when i got undressed at teh end of the day....my inner boot was all red...and there was a sharp stick in my foot that somehow went threw the slit of the boot. The adrenline of the crash and riiding can tend to hide pain. 
Also once i fell on my dirtbike(front end washed out)..on pavement...and i slid for like 35ft....and picked the bike up...started it.....put it away...then went inside....my arm was a little sore..but didnt think anyhing of it....then i took my fleece hoody off...and it peeeled off of my left lower arm..hurt like a mother..and i find a bice 6 inch long skin scraping.....could start to see muscle tissue in deepest part.......god that peeling pai hurt...lol
I have a problem with ignoring injuries...not too long ago i crashed three times in one day...first one...a simple roll over..quad rolled over me...i was okay..didnt hurt...then the second i was doing some freestyle on a 60ft double..and landed with my feet off the side during a no footed can can(somehow floated to far off the side)...and landed that way.....slammed into the ground...and was knoced out for 2 minutes..then took an hour break to eat and get my brain back in order..and went out and tried a tabletop step down...which is treachorous.....and landed nose high and back end sideways.......and cased...hit the bars.......flipped off...quad landed on top of me..and popped my hip out of joint/socket.......do i need to say i didnt get up from that one.......
this makes me realize..i really need to start riding a little les ballsy and a little more smarter.
