Harden takes the puck, its a break away!!!
He’s all alone. Him and the goaltender.
He dekes right, no wait, at the last second he cuts to the left.
The goalie lunges, Harden takes a diving back hand…..
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harden goes down hard. His feet were taken out from under him.
………
We’ve just received word that Harden will not be returning to the game.
His left elbow is sore and he cannot hold a stick.

So I wait until the game is over and drive home. Still not really hurting.
I put it under cold water. It feels kinda funny.
I take it out of the water. I can’t extend it past 135degrees from the shoulder.
Elbow is swelling to a decent size.
I think its dislocated. I call Josh to have him take me to the ER.
I call G&G and Mom&Terry to let them know.
I get to the ER….and wait…they do stupid paperwork crap.
Finally get an x-ray….and I wait.
The doc comes in……its broken.
I have a hairline crack in the distal side of my right radius.
He likened the injury to pressing the eraser side of a pencil down on a table hard enough for it to crack slightly behind the metal part of the eraser.
It is very minor and will heal well…but will take some time.
Two to six weeks to be exact.
I left with a sling and no pain-killers…which is fine since it really doesn’t hurt all that bad.
Though I kind of expect it to hurt more in the morning.
I’m done for now….my left arm is sore from doing all of the typing….
MAYBE I can get some sleep tonight.
Hope you feel better!! It was good talking to you last night. :-)
Suck it up, SALLY! We have a NIN concert to go to tonight! Haha- just kidding. Take care of yourself, bro. At least it wasn’t your gas-peddle foot! That could be career ending. ;-)
Take care of it!! I’m sure it’s going to hurt more and more.
Glad it was just a minor fracture and not a full break!!
