L Arm, Fracture
2011-01-26 – 2011-05-06
Grade: 4
Fail-to-unclip low speed crash on Kalamunda Circuit minutes into ride. Walked out OK while Tim tried to tell me it was just a bad sprain.
Turns out to be a comminuted fracture of ulna and radius. Hurts a lot. Emergency did a good job of getting all the bone shards back into the right place. 50/50 chance of it healing right without surgery. Need lots of X-rays to keep an eye on it.
Discharged as RPH Physio outpatient 06 May.
Plate and screws installed 25 February.
Learnings - be a stronger rider. Rest really is good for you.
Wisdom - ha.
