What an interesting day. Carlin made a visit to the ER. He broke his fourth and fifth metacarpal on his left hand. It's an interesting story. He was riding at Keystone with a friend who had brought up his niece and nephew, so they were on the learning hill. While getting on the chair, C saw that the little girl with them was not going to make it so he grabbed her and helped her onto the chair. As he did this, he heard a loud crunch and then his hand hurt a lot! He thought he had just dislocated his finger and that it would just work itself out. So he rode down and then decided that may be it was more than just a dislocation. All the time, thinking he would just wait until tomorrow to go to the doctor (they couldn't get him in today). He was pretty lucky, it's spring break time here in the county and the ER is busy busy busy. So now C needs to make an appointment with orthopedic surgeon to see if he needs a cast. He is still planning on riding a few more days before the season ends in a month. Should be an interesting couple of days.
