The Arm is on the Mend - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Finally got the brace and sling removed and the doctor signed off on my arm as being ahead of schedule. I'll be back on the water sooner than I know.

After my first Kayaking fishing trip I was loading my Kayak into the back of my truck. While trying to close my tailgate with my right hand only my bicep tendon snapped and had to be surgically repaired a week later. So since March 14th. I've not been able to do anything with my right arm. Surgery was done on March 22nd and now today the brace and bandages came off and I can start rehabbing to get back to normal.

whoa... that sounds intensely painful. Wish you well getting better.

Thanks, just finished my first rehab and all is doing well. I'll be sure to do my homework and keep getting my arm better.

Were you pulling exceedingly hard with your arm? I remember my dad ripping the tendons off his arm when we were trying to get my mom's car unstuck in a driveway full of ice.
