Gary goes in for round two of surgery on his arm on Friday, Lets all keep him in our thoughts and wish him a speedy, pain-free and most importantly, full recovery. I am sending him an Aspen tree as a get-well gift...... >:D

Best wishes Gary.   :)

Most importantly, where did you find a doctor that understands that skiing is more important than getting fixed?   ;D

I think he found a dr that could fix his arm so he could continue to ski. Now next season is another story and who knows what damage he can incur...... ;D

Jim, I just re-read your post regarding where did he find the doctor-  Alice tracked down a real expert in Chicago. I just got off the phone with him, he's in Chicago now and will be tied up all day with tests and crap, Alice will call to say all is OK and they didnt' cut off anything they shouldn't have :)

He thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I read him all the posts!

Tell him to wear the orange helmet, just in case.

Best wishes Gary!

What kind of surgery? Mrs. Glenn is a certified hand therapist; chances are, she's see and treated whatever you're going through. Again, hoping for the best!

I don't know the technical name but his radius and ulna partially fused following his ligement to bicep re-attachment surgery. Waht happens is he can't rotate his hand left to right. He can ski but it basically rules out golf and anything like that. Even daily tasks like holding a pot. Dam those trees!

Spoke to Gary last night, all is well, he's hooked up to a machine that constantly rotates his arm to keep the range of motion. He will try to chime in so in the mean time, its open season on the gimp.  ;D
