I Almost Lost My Arm

Tweet

I few years ago actually on July 28th 2005 I was skateboarding with my friends, and it was a great time. We were all doing great and it was just some good old fun. THen as we were about to go our seperate ways we decided to go for one last run down an awsome hill in my town. So I wanted to go as fast as I could so I pumped untill I hit the sharp turn which is about 100 yrds from the top of the hill. This hill is about 1/4 of a mile. Anyway I made it around the turn but then I hit a rock or I was just going to fast but I fell. I hit the ground ard and as I started to roll I heard my arm snap and saw my elbow spin 90 degrees in the wrong direction. I fell/rolled for about 50 feet but then I got up and my arm swung around and blood was going everywhere. I was taked to the hospital where I spent seven days and underwent three suguires. I now have 2 plates and 13 screws in my arm for life. Here is a scan of my xray http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/9564/myarm3lk9.jpg
