Fell to my right, and arm was levered between a fallen tree and the top tube of the bike. Envision 2 hands breaking a pencil. The first words out of my mouth were "this is getting x-rayed today". I rode the last mile back to the car one-handed.

I'm seeing an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow. Hopefully there will be no need for his carving skills. I'm most concerned with recovery time. He can drill a quarter inch bolt through there if it will get me out earlier.

At any rate I can do roughly 0% of my job, so good thing I have over 2000 hours of sick time to use.
