So as you can see below what I thought was a sprain was really an arm broken in two places. I need to see a hand specialist tomorrow for a final diagnosis. On a "that is amazing" note, this is the first bone(s) I have ever broken in 29 years, which really amazes most folks I tell who know me pretty well. As a side note doing things with one arm/hand really sucks, so I reco not experiencing it if you can avoid it.

At least it was your arm and not your leg like we were talking about at 7 Springs - still crazy this happened the very next week though!
Heal well and watch out for the "itchies" - as a veteran arm breaker I prefer a letter opener to a pencil to get your scratch on.

Coming from your expert broken bone cuz (1 ankle, 1 leg, 2 wrists, and wrist + hand combo) you are lucky it happened in the winter, the summer with casts blow! And I would recommend knitting needles for a scratching device :) Hope you are feeling better!!

FINALLY! Now I know I'm not the ONLY accident-prone Sutter child.
At least you have a sweet story to tell. Feel better soon!
Penny says to tell you it must be the "Irish" in ya for not going to the doctor sooner; and for the grin!
Nice work, Leroy. Hopefully, the hand specialist gives you a better diagnosis! If I were you, I'd use this as an excuse to cut out of work for a month.
Damn, you sure handled it well considering that the extent of your injuries is still being discovered. I was pretty sure it wasn't anything serious since you:
1) Did another full run after the fall
and
2) Didn't seem to be in any sort of serious/broken-bone pain, or I'd have suggested we leave immediately instead of doing a few more runs while you iced your wrist, which I'm guessing was a waste of time since you actually broke your ARM.
That is one monster cast. Feel better!! And Casey and I can't possibly believe that you of all people have never broken anything before this. It's more likely that you constantly have broken bones and just think "well, it doesn't hurt that bad!"
