I'll be the first to start it up.

While removing a paddle board from the top of a car (not heavy and not trying to be Superman) my elbow went "POP" last weekend. A torn UCL in my elbow (last year it was my thumb) and Tommy John surgery is next. Feels like my right forearm is hanging by a thread and driving is just about impossible. I'll be in a full arm brace for 6+ months. Yay...

The Volvo and Subaru are both sticks, and it is my right. Driving back from Acadia with no pain meds and traffic through your part of NH was hell. Damn your tolls and liquor stores.


Btw...Happy First Father's Day

Stinks to get hurt when it seems you did nothing wrong. Best of luck, Tin.

Thanks guys.

Even without surgery I'm looking at 4-6 months in a full brace. Not quite as small as an ACL brace so I don't think a jacket will fit over it. Hopefully a few warm fall days after early storms will be skiable.
