Bitter Sweet.......

So....... i'm typing with 1 hand. Cant do my hair, towel off correctly, wipe my ass with the correct hand, open a bottle of wine, nor drive my weekend car (6 speed)........

i have been skateboarding since 1994. i was pretty good during my youth with several sponsorships. During my freshman year in college, i broke my left arm filming for an ad. So my parents at the time insisted i stop and focus on my degree....... 8 years later (this past sunday) my cousin ask me if i'm will to teach him how to drop on a 6" halfpipe at our local skatepark. We head off to the park, warmed up, started off on a 4 footer, 5 then 6. Everything was going great until my dumbass slips and falls into a 4" miniramp. Landed on my right elbow and fractured the radial head :clap3::clap3::oops: luckily, i'm left handed and also wear my watches on the left.

On the brighter side, my eta7750 Graphite BCE from River came in the next morning. i had been waiting for this watch since Legendofspeed showed it off to me. Couldn't be happier!! ;D ;D i'll post some more pictures once the lello datewheel gets here.......should be any day now....

i'm on a temporary splint till monday. I'll get an arm brace then and should heal in 3-4 weeks time.

here's the damage with some wristshots:
