    Just pouting

    To disable ads, please log-in.



    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).

    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!

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

    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...!)

    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!
