You know how I said I didn't break anything...? Well, I was wrong. My left radius is fractured, up by the elbow. It's just an itty bitty fracture... but it will still require a visit to an orthopedist, probably a cast, and about 6 weeks to heal.

No triathlon for me next Saturday. No more hundredpushups, either! Darn it.

Eek! Take care of this or it will hurt you forever (spoken by one who knows :)

Eww! Itty-bitty fractures suck. I mean, if you're going to be out for a while, it at least ought to be real!

Er, maybe not.

Do one-armed pushups, using a shelf or wall or sturdy chair back. :)

Get better fast.

Sad! But this isn't the ending--just a pause. There will be other triathlons, and other push-ups.

I'm really sorry that you're injured. Boo! Rest up, heal up, and do the physical therapy, and in the meantime, treat yourself to a movie and some good food.

Way to go, Focker!

Seriously, though, that sucks. If you absolutely *had* to break something, though, I'm glad it's small and not your pelvis or spine or anything.

Take carea you. Take pillows next time too. :)

Wow that sucks! I'm glad that you went to the doctor.

Crap.

Yours trying to see life positively (feel free to stick out your tongue at any time)

Well, that sucks. Of course it also could have been a lot worse. the only other person whom I know to have hurt themselves while biking in the last 5 years broke his collar bone.

So I guess Yay you for only having a broken arm!

Yowch. I wish you speedy healing.

[identity profile] pied-piper70.livejournal.com 2008-09-02 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, please take care!

That does suck. Hopefully you will heal fast and not hurt too much in the meantime.
