On my first lap of practice this weekend I highsided on the top of a step up sending me and my shoulder speeding like a bullet about 15 feet over and ten feet down to the ground. I immediately felt that I had dislocated my shoulder. Everyone at the track however thought I had broken my arm just below the shoulder. Any how It took five doctors at two different hospitals an entire day to reduce (relocate) my arm. The first doctor was at a small town hospital and I should have known to get out of there when he called for instructions on how to perform the procedure. Any how I was transfered and eventually a doctor got me fixed up. Now I am left with a very very swollen shoulder, the top of my humorus ball (arm bone) fractured right at the rotator cuff ( where it connects to the socket) and a damaged nerve in my shoulder. The nerve should heal as it is firing the muscle so I guess time will tell how it is going to be. The fracture is holding in place and I dont think will require surgery. I will have to rex-ray it in a week or two. The arm seems to be in place where it should be. Now I am looking at a good bit of therapy and lots of time off. This I can not live with. I am giving up on wake boarding this summer but I have to ride. what do the factory guys do to get back on the track so soon after an injury? I can handle anything short of surgery ( I just dont want to pay for it) If anyone knows how I can get back on the track asap please let me know or point me in the right direction. Thanks very much
