Been injury free for quite a few years.
pulled my left bicep tendon right off the bone ended my season abruptly. Surgery and rehab fixed it all, should be good to go next season. Pole plant in the ice got stuck pulling my arm behind me and POP. Amazing how multiple Advil's can deaden pain, I skied the next two days with 1 arm. I knew I did something serious but didn't know I needed surgery until my whole arm turned black & blue. The doctor thought I was an idiot for not going to the emergency room, looking back I guess he was right.
Funny how many of my injuries come from poles. I had a finger crushed between 2 poles when I fell on them and sandwiched my finger in between, my finger will have a bone bump on it for life. Last year while skiing through trees, I lost control and was going head-on into a tree, I stuck my arm out to latch onto a tree and crushed my right bicep at the elbow. Didn't need surgery but my muscles in that arm still squeak and groan when I work out. Tore my left hamstring in my left leg, when it healed by itself it tightened or shortened so now it clicks when I bend my left knee. Come to think of it, all my injuries came from skiing. On the bright side, my right leg is still virgin.............
There must be too many ice cream stands along your routeI've been having a helluva spring trying to stay healthy. No injuries to speak of but food has had it's toll. Although I've been running 30+ miles per week I've still managed to pack on six more pounds since February. Argh!

Glad to report that my surgery seems to have gone well and my left arm now feels 100% healed, I honestly don't feel any negative effects of what happened at all. I'm able to do everything I was able to do before. I'll probably be a little nervous when I start skiing again, maybe i'll dull the tips on my poles . Here's to hoping it's a good-accident free season, be careful out there!
