The other problem is I was also diagnosed with an elbow dislocation with a resulting Radial Head Fracture.
Trying to break a fall by putting your hand out in front of you seems almost instinctive. But the force of the fall could travel up your lower forearm bones and dislocate your elbow. It also could break the smaller bone (radius) in the forearm. The breaks can occur at the wrist (Colles fracture), or near the elbow at the radial "head." As the upper arm bone slides back into its appropriate place after the dislocation, it can chip off a piece of the radial head, resulting in a fracture.
So the bottom line is that I am in a sling for a min. of 2 weeks with another set of x-rays to follow to see when I can get to rehabbing the arm and back riding. Anyone need an entry to the 24hrs of Great Glen as a SS solo?
Where did I put that percocet?

Ouch!!!! You guys looked like you were having alot of fun before the incident!!! Reminds me of the waterbar I over shot, resulting in a triple break of the shoulder blade. Hope to see you pitting at Great Glen. On the fence of solo single or double single, or the fabled double fixed......
