    Background - crashed on Muscle Beach at SS when I hit the first jump at full bore. It propelled me straight up and I landed to flat. Broke the ball off my left humerus into 3 pieces. The doctor dug those pieces out of my chest and put it together with a plate and screws. Subsequently, nerve damage paralyzed my left hand temporarily.

    My broken left arm is 90% back. I can raise my arm almost straight up. I can make 95% of a closed fist. Some joints still do not bend enough to make a fully closed fist. Strength in back to normal. The touch sensaiton on my left hand middle finger is still 50%, but the hand is fully functional.

    I have not been riding because I developed severe tendonitis on my right shoulder. The good one. MRI indicates that its a bad tendon. Probably from compensating the loss of use of my left arm when it was not functional. Certain movement, sudden pulls will cause the shoulder to explode to level 10 pain. Sucks.

    I am scheduled to get steroid shots for the tendons. Soon as I can respond to trail conditions without the fear of triggering unbearable pain, I will be riding again :)

    See you folks on the dirt soon.

    I know it's been a loooooong road for you, Bing, and it's not your first serious injury from mtb. We will continue flowing the healing vibes your direction. Heal completely, and leave the jumping to the kids who do it everyday, or those with a jumping background through moto or BMX. @Anacondadontwantnone
