Ouch... good luck man... Cooley-Dick I'm guessing? Had to bring some friends there for different things when I was out at UMASS.

At least if it keeps you off skis, you won't miss much of the season.

Mrs Glenn is a certified hand therapist. The best thing you can do is find a good therapist, listen to what they say, go regularly and do your exercises. There's a big difference in healing/gaining function between people who put in the effort and people who don't. Good luck! Keep your chin up, you'll get there.

Heal well, injuries suck.


Oh, and Geoff...take it to TGR where the maggots encourage your sort of douchebaggery.

With a happy ending?

Isn't that a Chinese dish?

Seriously, bummer dude! Like Glen said, do your PT after the operation. I'm doing PT now for my shoulder. I thought I was all healed up and doing well, until I went to PT and saw how much my range of motion was dimished after the break. Hurts so good!!
