no paddlin'

for a few more weeks

Holy Crap Batman!

How'd the other guy look?

good lord! when i said down the street, not across the tracks, I was only kidding....

looked kinda grey and flat...concrete floor from 2nd step on ladder

ouch, hope you heal up ok.

we'll have to save you a few fish 

OW!!  Gives me the willies to think about how that felt!!  No tendon damge?
 

no tendon damage, just shattered most of the bones in my wrist. (old lady like, osteoperosis bones)
I now have a built in, titanium fish club!!! (looks more like a rake or fork though)
 I should be paddling again in 4-5 weeks, quite amazing what they can do these days. I was allowed to start driving my truck (stick) after 7 days.
 Luck would have it that the 4 day bubble Salmon fishery here opened a few days after I bit it. Perfectly flat and many a biggun caught, I was pissed!!!

If you're back on the water in "a few weeks", you are one Lucky man!

I wish you a speedy recovery!!!!  

"I now have a built in, titanium fish club!!! (looks more like a rake or fork though)"  I think you should have gone for the gaff option or had the RAM socket option installed.   

Here's a product to consider when you do finally get back to paddling.  They're called RoRows and are designed by an NCKA member (actually the winner of their last derby).  They are basically little hooks that relieve the stress on your wrists while paddling.

 I'll take a copy of that page with me when I go to see the Dr on Thu, I may be paddling sooner than later
