Fractured Times Ahead

CANADA | Thursday, 21 January 2010 | Views [639] | Comments [4]

Well, for those who dont have facebook wont know about my awesome fall whilst snowboarding on Tuesday and my very frustrating times since and still to come.
I was coming to a stop after coming down a slope, leaning back to dig my board edge in I leant too far back, so I put my arms out to break my fall in doing so, my right arm hyper extended and dislocated, I immediatly bent my arm putting it back in place, but was still in A LOT of pain... the mountain paramedics were there within like 30 seconds and next thing I remember is getting out of the patrol truck at the hospital... went for xrays and they showed up with 3 fractures in my elbow.... fun fun, I had a CT scan to make sure that one of the fractures will heal with out surgery, in which I find out the results of Tuesday *Aussie day*
so now im just resting it up with hope that it doesnt need the surgery... and then I can get back to working with really awesome people.
PS I will be sure to keep everyone updated.

Hoping you won't need surgery.. the old man, practical as ever said 'Hope her health insurance is going to be ok!) We send our love and hopes for a speedy return to normal.
