Abe's Owie

March 6, 2006

A couple days ago, our dear friend, Abe, was enjoying the fresh pow-pow in the Sierras when he had a little mishap that involved a messed-up elbow, ski patrol, a little panic, and an ambulance ride to South Lake Tahoe's fine hospital emergency room.

To everyone's relief, it was not a compound fracture, but a dislocated elbow. All the same, you can bet he's enjoying a nice cocktail involving Vicodin.

Abe's x-rays are below, but proceed at your own risk, there's no need for bloggees to feel ill reading my blog...

Was this punishment for missing a week of sweet Montana mountain loving? Probably not, but now Abe is sporting a sweet wrist to armpit splint.

Poor cookie...
