THEM'S THE BREAKS

Well in this case, one break at least....  Sadly it is my left humerus.

Remember the pic of the cool skateramp in my backyard?  Yup, I went flying off and right into a pier block I had neglected to put away..  When I stood up, my left arm was numb and flopping,  Yuck!

So, now I'm laid up, on drugs and my immediate fishing future has been radically altered.

I have to type with one hand, so this post is short, suffice to say the pain is significant, the drugs are strong, and my wife is the best in the world, taking good care.

I see the doc next Friday and learn "how long" before I can resume paddling......


For those few I spoke to during the week, thanks for the support.  I'll get through this, too.

but damn, 1 week before rcg season??

In good spirits despite it all,

Allen

Allen, Any help at just let me know! Frank

but damn, 1 week before rcg season??

Damn that sucks Allen all I can say is electric reel,Hobie and tandem.
Did you hear the one about the one armed guy who stretched out his arm and said it was this big

Ouch! having been broken far too many times I know what you are having to deal with besides just pain. Hang in there and work hard thru rehab. You may actually end up stronger with paddle in hand.
I also know the pleasures of charging down transition and cant imagine ever wanting to stop.
heal quick and clean Allen

actually, I do plan on getting a skiff a few times from mid may to august 2 if you are up for going out with me and some members of my family, mainly the 8 year old and 10 year old.

you ought to be able to pilot a boat and set a hook at least!

HEAL FAST MY FRIEND 

Damn!  That's rough, Brother Allen.  So sorry to hear it. 

Terry's right - use it to gain strength.

 

So, you built this skateboard ramp managed to break your arm while playing on it and now your getting all this attention and pampering from your wife Don't ya just love it when a plan comes together Hang in there Allen and get well soon

Ben

No kidding, I think I need a motorcycle and chainsaw juggling ramp...

I hope it heals quickly.  Best wishes.

Just looking on the bright side...at least there isn't a hot salmon bite to miss.
Get well buddy!
PK

Dude!!!!!

  Hang in There Bro!!!!

 Like MICK said,  Hobie tandem, electric Fishing reel your on for the Rock Opener!!!!

 Anything you need My Friend

Wow, what a bummer. When I saw that ramp I thought for sure you'd break your collar bone before anything else! j/k
Seriously, that really sucks. Nailing a block o' rock - that's gotta hurt. 
Here's to quick healing  (I heard Vicodan & beer make ALL yer pains go away...) 

Allen... tough break.  Nothing funny about breaking your humerous.  I'm sure you had some EPIC air before things went sideways on you. 

Heal fast buddy... just think of this as a good way to spend more time with your family.
