Not looking for sympathy just letting you know it could be worse. I was getting 4 wheeler ready that we got our son for Christmas and went back in house for tool and when I came out I tripped over my own feet and fell off porch on to concrete and broke my arm. It's my swinging arm too! Going to have to take a break from swinging my at gold for a bit. On other hand kids had wonderful Christmas and I am blessed that I didn't get hurt worse. Merry Christmas everyone and happy new year. Oh yea this is my first broken bone and pain sucks but I'll live.

Well I guess as we get older them bones get more brittle. I have yet to break a bone but holy cow, I can imagine the pain. I hope you get well but if you can get out then make the kids swing and dig and you can supervise. lol

Ouch! I Broke my right wrist and then my right foot a couple years later. It was painful but believe it or not, the real pain came after the casts came off. On a GOOD NOTE...you will have gained a good weather meter. My wrist always knows when the weather is gonna change.

You must be related to the Griswalds. :tongue3: Sorry about your mishap, I bet you'll only be down for 6 to 8 weeks.

Just relax, and watch the football games to Superbowl. You'll be swinging before Cedar Point opens for the year.

Now that sucks! You might want to learn to swing with the other arm. I did, and now can switch back and forth with no issues, especially when my arms get tired.

Switch arms and use the harness.
Kind of Ironic though. You buy your son a quad and you break a bone.
Get Well.

lol...........I seem to remember a thread you had last Winter about how to hunt in 2 feet of snow. I got the feeling "nothings going to stop John from hunting." I was going to ask you if you tackled a blizzard yet in N Alberta. :laughing7:

Get well soon, sometimes we all have crazy accidents like that. I fell down a flight of stairs a few years ago myself and slammed into the concrete and broke my left arm so bad that the doctor said that if they tried to do surgery to pull the 2 bones that are lodged inside each other back out of each other that it would leave the arm permanently disabled. I still can't do much with my left arm because it still hurts especially when it's cold out.

Tough break Kodiak. As a fellow AT Gold swinger, I'll just go ahead and try to swing mine twice as much in memory of your arm for the next couple of months!! LOL! Take care my friend and heal quickly.
