Broken: For Now

Three times in three years, not so good for me. I have had a reoccurring issue with my shoulder over the past few years. The first time I dislocated it was in Mexico while skimboarding. When I was dropping onto my board my board stuck to the sand, due to the lack of moisture, and I piledrove my shoulder into the hard Mexican sand. I was forced to spend the rest of my Christmas vacation in a sling. The second time it popped out at the gym last October while I was at the gym in Wales. Did some rehab and phsyio for a month or so, and it seemed strong again.

Today I do not even know how it dislocated. I had a poor drop onto my board but did not fall on my shoulder awkwardly. It simply popped out.Luckily I was able to get it back in after a minute or so of attempting of swing my arm back into place, as it hung within my wet suit.

Looks like more rehab and physio is on the way. Will sort it all out tomorrow. Will hopefully be back on my board sooner rather than later, but will have to see how the good ol' shoulder heals up. I will leave you with a blurry backside spray from today (picture taken by Steph). The camera battery died just before I dislocated my shoulder.


Till next time...
