    me.

    after borrowing nephew’s stunt scooter to use (as i was limping with swollen leg caused by 2 insect bites). forgot that these things don’t work like an mbt, so it’s not a good idea to whizz down a tarmac path downhill at speed and make a sharp right hand turn.
    the stunt peg dug unto the ground and my face and elbow were used as a brake. ouch.
    no biking for me now for the next few months. have broken right arm and there won’t be an entry this year for any beauty contests 🙁 😳

    lordy! Get well soon.

    This is a bad time to remind me I forgot to send a house warming invite.
    So here it is.

    Come to our new house on the 31st for a party. Bring your husband and your broken arm.

    Ouch, breaking the humerus is no laughing matter I can tell you. No cast, doubly so. Definitely the most painful thing I’ve ever had the misfortune to inflict on myself.

    Did the nephew manage to capture it on video? 😉

    Heal soon, heal well.

    To be fair, it sounds like you had a pretty serious injury before you got on the scooter… 😉

    Commiserations, anyway, hope it mends quickly

    Owwwwww! Sorry to hear that, BH. Reading your post, I was instinctively tensing up and getting that sort of queasy feeling you get when it’s all going tits-up, and you know it’s going to hurt.
    Mend soon, and with no long-term consequences.
    Of which I have personal experience. 🙁

    Oh dear….

    Sound painful.
    Spectacular, but painful.

    Yes, I saw the pictures – very impressive!

    Must be catching – my collarbone in May, your elbow and just the other night richpips broke his wrist.
    I’m such a trendsetter! 😉

    Get well soon, meanwhile make the most of bossing Jules around the house!

    Oh and samuri, you forgot to send an invite to me too!

    I genuinely haven’t figured out what’s going on in that picture yet.

    EDIT: Got it. That’s your back, not a leg!

    Looks pretty crappy; best wishes.

    mcmoonter – slowly but shirley, also got low pain threshold.

    i am a very poor patient, who has a thousand things to do (don’t all women) and being self employed isn’t good. doc said because i’m a manual worker it’s going to be about another 8 weeks before i can return to the workroom.

    missing all the dry trails too. oh well, lesson learned to stay off nephew’s toys and stick to being a big kid on my own two wheeled play things 🙂

    I’d be climbing the walls if someone said that to me. Fingers crossed it gets better sooner.

    I’m only laughing because for once it isn’t me!
