I wiped out surfing the Wedge on Saturday.
 

Broke my olecranon completely off, fully displacing it. emergency surgery Saturday to cut through my tricep to retrieve my elbow and reattach it, it was up near my armpit.

I've been surfing this spot for years, the waves were more intense than usual late last week due weather conditions, we stayed out till the end but i got washed around pretty good.

12 screws and a 7" long plate to put it all back together.

Poetic justice, for being a liberal

How do you break your elbow from hitting water?

you'll first need to tell the story about being dropped on your head.

You have chicken arms and fat little fingers. You dont work out at all do u? Low T

you should see my arm when it's no so swollen! you'd really have some ammo to attack me with for no reason then!

How do you break your elbow surfing? Did u hit a rock?

Shred fail, kook!

I hit the bottom, not exactly sure what was there, I was getting washed around.

not really. I get out and do stuff, there's risks in that. no biggie.

When the waves get big, the force chucking you into the seabed is massive.

I've eaten sand on numerous occasions.
If it had been rocks on the bottom, I'd have no teeth.

:thumbsup ain't that the truth! Even packed sand.

Holy crap, man! That sucks - fell off my bike on the beach last week, couple scrapes and it still hurts - LOL. This looks considerably worse so hope and what passes for prayers and all that coming your way...

What?????

Yeah, I stay away from bicycles these days for that reason! :1orglaugh

thanks man, I'm all good really. Best doctors in the world right here.

Damn 12 screws is a lot.. I'm surprised you can bend your arm like that or is that how they have it set?

I also have a hurt elbow but nothing so dramatic.. mine in elbow bursitis. I did end up in the hospital with it for a few days due to it becoming infected...

You guys are a bunch of weak cucks

I would have just walked it off

Yeah I saw pictures from the Wedge a couple of days ago in my facebook feed. It has been pretty gnarly the past few days.

Ok Johnny, whatever you say.

.

crap, infected eh, apparently that's a big concern here on this too. I'm to meet with an infectious disease doc later, what did they do to treat that?

yup. the break is right on shore as well.

best break around though.

So....you hit the rock wall?

Geez, what a horrible injury, good luck on the rehab. I'll mess around and bodyboard the wedge, but got pummeled trying to surf it a few years back and wont do that again.

Oh Hell no! I'm not that bad a surfer. I can stay away from the jetty.
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

yup. I've had some rough tumbles there too. This was just a 1 in a 1000 tumble, maybe I was a little too tired to be out. we did wait till after the weather event passed but it's still the Wedge.

I guess i'll have some time to ponder paddling back out or not. Doctor said I should be fine, maybe lose some range of motion.

Can you answer my fucking question then? How did this happen? What did u hit?

He already did JohnnyClips, he hit the bottom. If you'd ever left your mom's basement you might know it's hard to know what you hit when you're under the water. :1orglaugh

Hit the bottom of what? the ocean? wtf? :1orglaugh

Oh shit Johnnyclips is back!

btw, damn man, I've never hurt myself that bad, get well soon!

Mine they kept me in the hospital for 3 days tied to an IV getting antibiotics every 4 hrs. They did a blood test each day to sort of fine tune the antibiotics then gave me a prescription that I'm still taking now. Like 2 pills 4 times a day till I run out of them.

They were being a little aggressive as they were worried at 1st is was mrsa but ended up being just a normal infection.

Only weaklings go to the hospital

real men walk it off
