OUCH! I'll make this brief...



Broken right distal radius with displacement of that other bunch of bones at my wrist...happened Sunday...on a hike, 3.5 miles from the car on some rocks along the Stillaguamish River.  Had to hike back out with my friend's hunting knife as a splint...it was sheathed, lol...kind strangers gave me advil, tape and words of worry and encouragement...I thanked them all very very much.
Update...too unstable to cast, needs plate and pins, so surgery on Friday.  Gah!
