Proximal Humerus fracture and a Bankart lesion? Did the greater tuberosity split off or is that an artifact? In my opinion you fucked up, but I’m no Doctor. I don’t like seeing the Humeral head in contact with the glenoid but maybe if it’s a Bankart lesion that will correct on repair. Otherwise it’s arthritis sooner than later. No reason full range of motion or close enough isn’t possible. 

 

Torn rotator cuff and tendons, broken orbital, torn bicep, broken at the elbow as well. All on my dominant hand so lots of fun and 4 months of no driving so far. Who’d have thought my worst injury after 30 years of motorbikes and skydiving would be in my house :)

Long story short it was like a scene from Monty python. Son went into psychosis and attacked me. Sitting on my back and punching the hell out of me, and screaming it’s just a bruise you pussy. He had no idea or recollection afterwards. Getting this tattoo over the scar :)

Oh, so you put holes in the meaty part, and tore the crap out of stuff. That's a bummer. You're alive and seem tough enough for the job, that's good. I've had long, hard PT in front of me before and it sucks no matter what they say on TV. I'm pulling for you.

When I want to have a view as if sitting in  the cockpit, I go sit in my Mooney, and go fly it.

Still have the same Cherokee I've been driving for the last 40 years. Whole lot of upgrades and Kentucky gofasters, but it's still a bug smasher.

I'd gladly ride around for hours looking for cutaways with you.

Interesting chats, decent taste in beers...yeah.

Good times my friend, best of luck with the healing and hopefully a high five the next time we meet.

Life is but a flesh wound.

Definitely top of the list if I can. At this point I can only just do an Elon Salute, and not looking like I’ll be able to get full range of motion on my arm.

If you want to talk it through ping me on chat - although I am sure you have people you can lean on more close by!
I can't see why you couldn't get a wing and brake set up that allowed for a reduced range of motion, and a harness and reserve set up to favor your better arm.

Sorry to see the damage tho.
