[RC] Broken bones, pins, & Screws - mkrumlaw

I'm the one who said I should have waited longer before I started riding 
again after a serious break.  That being said most of my fractures have 
been significant and in weight bearing joints. (Pelvis, hip, lower back, 
shoulder, knee etc).  Most of them also involved other types of trauma 
(injured spleed, kidney, nerves, etc)

As "Dr. Bruce" says you should probably give it a rest....

I have a "Dr. Bruce" friend on this half of the country too, he would 
have given the same advice as the Dr. Bruce on your half of the country.  
But when he'd see me on a horse way before I was supposed to be back in 
the saddle, he'd always laugh and say "it only hurts in this lifetime."  

BUT the endurance rider in me says the wrist is a long way from the 
heart, if the horse I was riding is reasonably safe, and I could wrap the 
wrist up and keep it clean and dry, and the screws had time to set, I'd 
probably try jumping on and riding too.  lol

One "Dr. Bruce" is shaking his head now, and the other is laughing.
