Seamus noooooooooooooo

Man down...
We have our first casualty of the season, Sean broke his wrist today in two places and tore his ligaments on his first run of the season. That's right, his FIRST run of the season. Poor guy man, went out drinking with him last night and he was pretty miserable (and understandably so). The doctors reckon he'd be out for 3 months, but Sean's plan was to go to Australia and meet up with his girlfriend on her round the world trip at the end of February, so that would mean he's out for his entire season. He has to have surgery on Tuesday because he's broken it that badly and then has to do physio after that to heal the ligaments... I felt for the guy because he was going through the same things that I did when I did my back in on my gap year, how it could have been avoided, how stupid it was, how he wasn't going to go out riding that day...but we agreed that it was just very bad luck as he'd fallen the same way a hundred times before. In fact he was stopping at the bottom of the run to get on the lift and just managed to fall awkwardly on it, not going fast or anything. Anyway he's waiting to hear what they say after surgery on Tuesday and if there's any chance that he might be able to get some riding in before he has to go to Oz. At least if it comes to it he has something to go on to though and isn't going home.

Incidents like that just compound the fact that our bodies are very fragile indeed.. Pretty gutting :/ get well soon Seamus!
