That's a bummer, I have been known to get injured on holiday weekends, usually start out the summer with something messed up on Memorial Day Weekend. I hope you heal as fast as you can.

That sucks. I know how you feel. Sorry to hear that. Just had surgery on my collarbone and I'll be out for a bit as well. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the boat and being out on the water with family and friends. Best wishes and here's to a speedy and full recovery. (Takes a drink of Newcastle)

Yea, I tore some ligaments in my ankle about 2 weeks before the 4th of july last summer, all i could do was sit, watch and drive the boat it sucked. I was out for a few months but i was able ride (just cut back and forth) for about 3 weeks before we called it quits to the season. I went for my first w2w jump a few weeks ago since my injure and i am back getting more pop than ever. So my injury helped me, its crazy. You should be back better than ever. So keep them hopes ups!

I know how you fell Brittany it took me 3 weeks before i got mine. The only reason I got mine in 3 weeks is because i went through 3 doctors before the third one said that i needed it right away. The first two said that i just sprained it. I asked them how can it be just sprained when it is swollen up as big as my head and black as midnight. They didnt even want to x-ray it to see if it was broken. I got second and third opinions.
