What are you talking about? That's only your left arm! :D Sorry to hear it, Tom. Get well soon - 12 oz. curls will help rebuild the muscles.

Bad karate chop, eh?

Hope you get better soon. Was it a break or bad sprain/bruise?

Looks worse than it is but clean break at the wrist. Pure carelessness on my part. I always (except this time) hold the door handle entering and leaving. Hopefully will be down to a wrist cast next week.

ARRGHH!
Sorry to hear/see that Tom....hope you heal fast!
Glad it is not your casting hand!

I slipped in the tub/shower once a few years ago, no injuries but it scared the OLY CARP out of me!

I have some severe tennis elbow in my casting arm, but have recently learned that casting with my other arm is very doable!

Geeezo Tom....we've fished some pretty treacherous waters over the years and you are like a mountain goat. Suppose this mean's you'll want me to tie your flies on for a while?

I think I do have the solution for the future.

Sorry to hear it's a break Tom. Hope it heals quickly.

The missus had a similar incident while slipping and falling on ice in Prescott. Today was happy smile day since the cast was removed.
