Just pouting

:(

Had a snowboard wreck on Tuesday that was painful but didn't seem too bad in the grand scheme of things (not high speed, no jumps, no trees, whatever) but after a visit to urgent care to rule out a torn rotator cuff, I apparently have a fractured transverse process of L3 and a hairline fracture in my humerus. Ugh. I need to find new sports or get better much faster. And probably get a bone density test.

I have a follow-up with an orthopedist and my back guy but blehh, I'm already bored of this! Time for some chocolate (btw, white chocolate M&Ms? Heaven!)

At least, on the bright side, I'd much rather rehab atrophied muscles from broken bones than deal with ligament tears. And the doctor seemed surprised to see both fractures and commented on how well I seemed to be doing (he almost didn't even x-ray the shoulder).

Owwwwwww. Heal up quick! Hope you find just the right amount of chocolate to do the trick.

Oh no!:eek: Heal fast! I'm around if you need any help...or more white chocolate M&M's.

...on the bright side....
There are white chocolate M&Ms! :eek::D

Bummed about your injuries. Heal well.

So sorry to hear about your injuries but admire your resiliance. Hope you heal soon!

Oh, man. I'm so sorry to read this. Heal well and quickly.

Heal quickly! I broke my humerus when I was 14 riding a horse bareback. Let's just say the body cast WAS NOT HUMERUS!!!!

I think I need some M&Ms too!

so sorry to hear! ): Hope you heal quickly............

M&M party at my house!! That would be awesome :p

Thanks everyone :) I've broken a ridiculous amount of stuff (for me) in the 2.5 years I've lived here, mostly from seemingly innocent stuff (I mean, seriously, who gets a stress fracture from sanding floors??). But our insurance was so crummy when I moved out here that I never found a PCP who accepted it. I guess it's time now, to make sure theres nothing behind all this. (I was starting to think it was pretty Colorado to have a sports-med doc as my normal starting point...!)

Feel better soon ((HUGS))

don't skip the bone density test..........good to know so can be proactive if needed!

Get well soon! And get the bone density test. It doesn't sound healthy to be breaking a ridiculous amount of stuff.

are you new at snowboarding? that sport has a very steep and painful learning curve (at least for me, anyways!) Get better soon!

ugh. Sorry to hear about your injuries. And +1 on not skipping the bone density test.

Get better quickly.

Just saw this ... hope you heal quickly!
