Cross-rutted...high-side.  Two broken wrists and separated shoulder.  I have had MANY injuries in my 30-something years of riding/racing.  You all may think this is a "sissy" question, (my riding buddies do) but I am now wondering if my continuing to ride is logical...I've used the search button and found rider's experiences with this shoulder injury.  But what I want to know is, has anyone had this typeIII (no more ligaments) and taken a hard fall on it again?  It scares me since there's basically only muscle holding things together now, and it seems to me that with that main artery now more open to injury, a nasty fall could leave me bleeding to death on some sweet single track in the middle of nowhere.  I asked the Doc. and he just looked at me...like I must be stupid to climb back on.  LOVE the sport, but my wife and boys need their provider... facing an incredibley tough decision.  Seven weeks into this now, the wrists will heal, but the shoulder feels scary and wierd.  thanks
