Nice to see all of you
I sent the wrong picture. Here is a good one. It looks like a baby's hand. lol


: Good to hear that people heal. I was feeling pretty good, but I am so far from doing any skating. I have gone to physical therapy twice and I am not supposed to do anything. I have been typing and was told to stop. The pain is actually get bad again probably because I have a tolerance for the pills. Getting hurt sucks. The financial impact sucks. I can't wait to try my new vert skates. I was always a trick person doing flips and stuff, but now I want to grind and try some plate slides. It will be at least two months. I want to move, but the doctor said I can't use my arm at all. I chipped off a huge piece of my elbow and they had to attach it with steal pins. The bruising is finally going away and the swelling is gone.

: : Nice to hear some knews for you. Recover smoothly!! One of my friends also "detached" some tendons from his elbow from a BMX crash in a vert: he could recover quite fast and ride again. Nevertheless some recent studies pointed out that mental training enables improving both mental/physical coordination skills. I tried it, and it works!!!!

: : : This forum had been pretty quiet for quite sometime. Let me just say that this forum is the reason I started vert skating again. It took a few months, but I was hitting the skatepark. The new terrain and steep transitions were quite hard. As I said in another post, I fell and shattered my elbow. It has been three weeks and I hope to be back in three weeks. Before I hurt myself, I ordered some vert skates from rollergirl. I have them now and they are awesome. This will be the first skate that I have ever had with wide trucks and a grind bar. I am so excited to grind. I am sure it will take a lot of getting used to. Three weeks ago was the first serious injury that I have ever had skating. The pain was pretty bad, but tolerable, but the f'n cost is not. By the time this is over, it will cost me about $4000. That hurts way more than my elbow. I must say that I am still on the pain meds and sleeping very well these days. I am attaching a pretty cool pic. I have some awesome pics of my hand puffed up like a ballon and crazy bruising. I chipped a huge piece of bone that had to be surgically attached. These are my war wounds. Let me tell you that the few weeks I was skating made me feel alive again. I can't afford to get hurt again, but I will be skating soon.

I also had tendons ripped from my elbow in several skateboarding accidents over the last years. I had surgery 2 years ago. A tendon was removed from my wrist and attached in my elbow joint. The joint was loose before, resulting in several dislocatons. It is strong as before now.

 Robert, I hope your elbow get better very fast. It looks pretty bad on the picture. Be patient and pay attention to your physiotherapist. It's not nice to hear that you are still in pain but that will probably get better soon.

The financial impact of such an accident is probably worse in the US than in Europe. There are also regional differences but my treatment costs have been paid by an accident insurance (which is obligatory when you are working in Switzerland) and they also paid 80 % of my salary during the time I couldn't go to work. Therefore, there still is a financial impact but it isn't so bad.
