Ahhhh well, thats me out of detecting for 6-8 weeks.

Pushing a van out of the mud at todays rally and I heared a loud popping type thwack. My arm went limp and I knew I'd messed up big time.

Took my top off in the car and there was nothing where my bicep should be and an extra bicep near my armpit. Somehow I dont think my body got the anatomy memo.

Anyhow, after a rather exiting trip home which included peasouper fog, heavy rain and both my wipers giving up the ghost, I got my wife to take me to casualty as by now I was in agony.

6 hours later and its confirmed, total seperation by trauma of the bicep tendon where it meets the elbow. Scan, surgery and 6 - 8 weeks immobilisation of said arm.

Apart from that , it was a good day.

"Blimey Rob".  You certainly don't do thing by half do you? I wish you well bro and hope for a speedy return to the
fold. Going to be very frustrating for you just watching others doing the business but you have to immobilize that type
of injury or you can hinder recovery times, so listen to the doc's.

Best wishes

Reading the description made me winse as well, you did amazing to get home like that !

Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery Rob.  At least you can get everyone else in the family to sort out Xmas, you've got a good excuse now Wink

Now if you had said he looked "hot" when you spoke to him, I would be really worried Grin And that was probably before at a guess Grin Grin Grin

Now on a more sympathetic note; Ahhhh!, never mind.

Hey Rob, look on the bright side.........It wasn't as if you were any good anyway lol
