Frontroll to Failure

For those of you that dont know my brother, Josh, he is an AMAZING wakeboarder. He was number 1 in Alabama in his division and went to Nationals last year. He's good. But occasionaly, he takes a fall. Since this one was particularly bad, i thought I'd share.

 Heres the video. & Here is the after math...

When I asked him how he felt he said  "its like a trampoline from all the fluid so im kinda just poking it softly"

Luckily, Josh thinks battle scars are cool. In fact, he was especially excited about getting dinner in bed. I bet my mom wishes the orthopedist offered frequent flyer miles...

Update: Apparently, even though they dont offer frequent flyer miles, my family has been able to make some connections with Orthopedist. Somehow my mom got a doctor to agree to meet them at the emergency room tonight, after the doctor "finished his movie." But, thats a whole hell of a lot better than waiting to go in the morning, or spending all night in the waiting room. Ill let everybody know when the find out how bad it is.

Update: Well, Josh hurt his NCL, but with time it will heal on his own. They are waiting to find out if he hurt his ACL, but he will have to wait 7-10 days to have the MRI because the swelling is so bad. If he did hurt his ACL, he will have to have surgery, so cross your fingers he didnt tear it. For right now, he is in a leg brace, and on crutches. I know the next week or so is going to be hard on him. Josh hates sitting still, but I know hes got to be in pain. When I talked to him this morning he was laying in bed watching Dora the Explorer, because he couldnt reach the controller, and it hurt too bad to move.
