game over...

She sent me to a physiotherapist, who determined that I've injured my flexor carpi ulnaris. It's probably from the tumbling and the weird hand positions used to do the strength holds. I have to have at least 4 weeks of physio. I can't compete. I'm not allowed to touch a dumbbell for 6 weeks, and after then I have to start out with light weights. I'm heartbroken. The only good side to this is that I can have thanksgiving dinner next weekend.

Look at F1 drivers or even hockey players, The driver sometimes crashes b4 the race starts, and the hockey player gets injured and out for the season during a practice. Get better and like the others said "Come back stronger". Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the turkey protien. -------------- "A will finds a way" Ivan Montreal Canada

I'm looking forward to the turkey at our (Canadian) thanksgiving. Actually, I'm looking forward more to the stuffing and mashed potatoes. I've set my sight on the spring competition.
