At the moment they are sticking with the occult fracture. My x-rays were reviewed by a orthopaedic specialist and Jaimee had one of the doctors she works with look up the results. They haven't found anything more at this point.

I've spent the last 2 days taking the split off and trying to move things around. Overall I can move my elbow about 80% straight now which is good.

Swelling is going down a lot so it's going well at the moment.

If I still have pain in a week, the doc at Jaimee's work suggested getting another x-ray.

Aside from that, wrist and forearm are feeling better. I still only have about 10% strength in the wrist and forearm is I try to lift something in a "dumbell" action.

So at the moment, as soon as the pain is manageable and the strength is back I plan on heading out.

Though I might have to relax a bit and hit lysterfield a few times as I think I'm pushing the boundaries of my friendship with my boss constantly crashing and taking time off work.

I'm dying to get back to the Berra and throw myself off Stromlo.

What sort of spill was it mate?

 

[Jesterarts]

It was really, really lame.

Basically at the start of the trail there is a run up to the jumps, the one at the start of my latest video.

At 0:10 you will notice a tree root on the left side of the track. Well, on the run I crashed I was pedalling through the bend and my pedal clipped the root. There is not a big blue mark through it.

That threw the back of the bike sideways, crossed the bars and when over the front.

I seem to be really good at crashing on easy bits. I have yet to ever crash on anything that I was actually worried about. Haha.

If the fractures in your elbow, never stop stretching it and try to keep it as straight as possible cause if it heals wrong, you won't be able to straighten your arm fully again without surgery to fix it.
