Default No hunting over Christmas for me

Well, I was planning on doing some more hunting over Christmas but now I can't. Some guys from work talked me into going snowboarding with them to Snowshoe in WV. Needless to say, this was my first time.

First, I had to learn how to keep my balance, of course, after busting my azz several times. I could get going pretty good and really fast. I would try to slow down and then I would crash. Anyway, I was going pretty fast on one slope, tried to slow down, got backwards coming down the slope somehow, and caught an edge and fell pretty hard on my right wrist. I had to discontinue my snowboarding career from there on out.

I thought it may feel better yesterday morning when I woke up but it was swollen, bruised, and very painful. So I went to the hospital to get x-rays. X-rays came out fine and I just sprained it badly. I have to wear a sling and if it isn't better in a week; I have to get a screw inserted in my wrist.

My season isn't over until Jan. 6th. I will give it a good week to heal and see how it feels. I do want to go bowhunting a few more times before season ends.

Merry Christmas everyone!
