Just over 3 hours

That's how long it took from the moment I purchased my longboard around luchtime on May 29th to the time I fell off it and broke my shoulder later that afternoon. It turns out that what I consider a hill and what a longboard considers a hill are two very, very different things.

The good news is that I don't need a cast or any sort of immobilization. Since I snapped the end off my humerus, all I need to do is go easy on it for 4-6 weeks and use a sling for comfort. Not a bad deal all things considered.

The road rash is healing up nicely, and I've regained at least basic light function in my arm so it should be pretty easy to deal with.

I took the week off work, and should be back at it this coming Monday.
