Hard Fall, Hard Water

At the end of my 3rd set this morning, I fell hard coming into my onside turn. I went out-the-front with a lot of speed. I was bringing up my arms to cover my head in case the now riderless ski was on a seek-and-destroy mission. I hit the water hard, leading with my right shoulder. As I was getting back into the SNOB, I noticed that my shoulder was sore. By mid morning, it was REALLY sore. Turns out I have a Grade I separation of the A/C joint.

I would never have believed that water could cause a shoulder separation. I'm out for a couple of weeks.

Yup.    Knee surgery not long ago. Now this. Getting old sux.

To make it worse, I took 3 of my kids skiing and boarding today. I didn't bother to take my ski as I couldn't have skied. We were the only boat on the lake and water was mirror. It was killing me. Well the kids had fun....

Back in the saddle again...

I skied yesterday and the shoulder felt fine. I can't do push-ups without pain, but slalom skiing is not impacted. I suspect that in another week, it'll be forgotten.

Thanks McD. I'm back in the saddle again...close to 100%

I'm headed to Lake Powell for a week of end-of-season skiing. I just want to come back uninjured...
