group of us were riding Wood Canyon tonight and one of our buddy went down at meadows...carried too much speed towards the bottom and front tire washed out. Went to the ER and found out that he had dislocated shoulder. I must say though he's a friggin trooper, we had to walk it out to the trailhead and it was getting late, he got on the bike and rode it out!!!! Get well bud...
That hurts and I know When I broke my right clavicle in two places I had to load my bike ( I was alone ) , Then drive ( a stick shift ) home , Once I was home I tried to get a pull over jacket off of me and I just couldnt pull it over my head , CPATCRASH came over and help pull it off , I can still remember the sound and feel of crunching bones I sure now how your buddy feels [-o-] Get well Did he get the figure 8 sling
Ouch, get well soon. I know from experience that a broken collar bone $uck$. Broke mine about 8 years ago.
Unfortunately, this is all part of the learning process we all go through... some worse than others. Healing vibes from the Tribe... :bang: OMR
good news...got a call from his bro and the Doctor last night looked at the xrays and made his assement it wasnt a broke clavicle just dislocated shoulder. he's resting comfortably now w/ pain meds bruised and battered from them popping it back in place. I'm so glad nothing broke.
I spoke with Alan this morning and Howard is feeling alot better:bang: Foofighter, when are we hitting the trail?:-k Alan says you are "bringing it!"
why yes he is...the elder redcliffe biffed it...you know them??? bahahah not sure about bringing it but getting better :beer:
Indeed. My roadie pal Andrew fell last week in the street near his home on nothing at all -- it was a total freak accident -- and broke his clavicle right in the middle of his chest. He's out 6-8 weeks at a minimum, and he is totally bummed. Glad dislocation is it for your bud. shud
Why yes I do! Alan is not only my hairdresser, but also my hubby's (1x1clyde) team mate for the 24hrs of Moab. We spoke to him last night, while he was in the ER with his bro. Healing vibes to Howard from the Adams Family!
oh excellent! i think i was sitting next to Al when you called...there will be good chuckles about this after Howard's healed up...heck he was cracking jokes while we were sitting in the ER LOL
