Injuries, anyone?

Unread postby Wildtrail » Wed Feb 25, 2004 5:04 pm

Well, I'm useless for the next month/ month and a half. :crying: Broke a thumb skiing, they casted it..until march 25th. :( The cast won't last that long, I'll probably steak-knife it off within the next two weeks.. :devil:
Anyone else out of the game for a time?

I'm afraid that I have the opposite news to report. After four long years of being jacked up I declared myself officially healthy two weeks ago and am looking forward to competing outdoors this year.

Come on Wilson, if anybody has access to all the new "cures" it has to be you! Must of been a bad injury!

I just came back from a small fracture in my back about a month ago...the thing is I didnt even know about the fracture until 4 months had passed after it happened.
