Ice Slide, originally uploaded by bhenrymartin.

I know I have not blogged in a while but I have a good reason. I broke my elbow. I didn’t even know you could do that but when you think about it, why not.

I broke it on March 4th in Quebec City riding the ice slide in front of the Chateau Frontenac. It was a ton of fun until I lost my balance at about 35mph smacked my left elbow square on the ice and rode that way till I could get my balance back.

After the ride was over, my wife asked if I was ok and I answered, ‘no’. Instead of seeing a doctor, I decided to see a bartender and ride out the pain. I was sure it would get better, but alas it still has not. I have been trying to get by with an arm that will not fully open up completely and is almost always in pain.

I’m telling you this because I am having surgery April 2nd and they will fix me. I won’t be able to type very well for a while but I promise to get back to this better after I start to heal. If you are the kind of person who prays, meditates, maybe you send positive energy into the world, what ever you do, please send it to me and to Dr. Joel Shapiro.

If you are at all medically minded, I have an ‘olecranon fracture’. Even though the following images are not my particular case, it is exactly what I have and will have done to fix me.

Thanks!
