Really Bummed Out
I was out yesterday for my regular weekend hike, when I tripped and fell and broke my right shoulder. I was by myself so I had to walk 2 miles to my car and drive 20 miles to the hospital, then a two hour drive home last night. Wow, talk about painful and exhausting. First major injury in 25 years of hiking and climbing.
Best,
Ken"No summit worth climbing is easily attained."

Re: Really Bummed Out
OMG Ken. So sorry to hear. That's brutal and could have been worse. Imagine if you had knocked yourself unconscious. Thanks goodness you're ok (relatively speaking).

Re: Really Bummed Out
Ken.......I'm sure it took a lot of fortitude to make that hike back to your vehicle and then drive to the hospital. You're a tough one. May your recover go well.
Some people will do anything to get to lay around and listen to music all day.Dan

Re: Really Bummed Out
So sorry Ken. I've felt your pain three years ago with a little fall off the bike. I was more lucky as I happened to have a neighbor with me, usually solo. Hang in there bud, at least you'll have time to recouped before the warm weather hits.
Best Wishes for Speedy RecoveryDave

At least you will have plenty of time to "take it easy", and get in some listening time. Godspeed on your recovery.

Re: Really Bummed Out
Not sure how I missed this, hope you are healing well. Man, I can't imagine how painful that must have been. If you drove home I'm assuming no pain meds either?
Two thoughts though.
1. Uber. Then you could have taken the meds
2. On the bright side at least you weren't like the hiker who fell, got his arm caught under a boulder, then had to hack his arm off with a pocket knife to hike out and save himself.Aurender ACS10 w/Audioquest Diamond USB, Esoteric N05xd
