At least it wasn't her casting arm

Well, there's no shortage of adventure and excitement around here.  One day The Wife is making powder turns in the Chugach; two later she's laid out on an icy curb with a broken arm.  As Ash said upon finding out that her sister had broken her arm, "You can get down a 2,000 foot mountain but you can't go for a run around the block?" 

For those brave enough, here's a picture of the damage.

So sorry Nell!!! Well, 1/29 years isn't too bad I guess. Looks like it hurts, bad!!! At least it isn't your legs, so you can still run when it feels better (just watch out for the ice!) Looking forward to seeing you, broken arm and all! Bring some markers to sign it!

Ouch...that looks much worse than the picture my imagination painted. I still can't imagine how you made it home that day! I will be thinking about you tomorrow (more than I usually do) and hopeful that all goes well....you'll be as good as new just in time for planting an awesome Alaskan garden.
