April fools day this year.



Found a sweet kicker that split some trees. On my third shot, got a little too close to one of the trees and a branch caught my shin and turned me upside down and I landed on my neck/shoulder out on the groomer. The branch I hit with my shin was about 10 feet off the ground so it was a nice little spill. Felt like hitting concrete. Anyway, long story short, two surgeries and a number of trips to the Orthopedist and PT. They called it a 'Ruptured AC Joint'. I think it was a grade 3 or 4. Completely seperated my colar bone from my shoulder. Tore all the tendons holding it down. 3 months with the screw in and in a wicked sling. All better now and hopefully I can get right back on the horse. Hard to do after about a $30,000 injury but thank god for insurance.
