    .... Left me with a broken right hand and broken left wrist. It happened 11 days ago. This sure does suck but I suppose it could have worse

    That does suck, I know a guy this year who went out for a quick mellow ride for a half hour and ended up on the ground with a broken pelvis, you never know what's going to happen.

    Thx for the get well wishes. I will hopefully be recovered in about 3 more weeks. I'm covered on short term disability insurance through my employer. At least the damage to my sled wasn't too bad:)
