What 35 years of tree service can do for you...
Open surgery for bicep reattachment and attempted rotator cuff salvage on right shoulder.
Other rotator cuff was more repairable after arthroscopy on the left shoulder.

^Sorry for your injury, but what is that at the top of the wave? A periscope?

EDIT:

I'm assuming that it was your right arm and I'm wondering what put so much stress on your bicep. Did you crash after the turn?

Wayne W for the win. WTF dude. You look like Gollum after Mordor. The pose is disturbing too. There's gross and there's gross but that's just beyond. You are wrecking my buzz. Can we get a mod in here. That thing should be in the spring at the base of Half Dome. You need to Hugh Herr that thing.

Don't you need thumbs? Wtf? Why would you do that to yourself?

You people are obviously serious f*#k-ups. I hate to burst your bubbles but go home and take up gardening.

That's the result of Paralytic Polio in 1953 and subsequent ortho procedures, Post Polio Syndrome since the early 60's, and a car folding my foot against it's door as it made an unannounced U Turn into me on my motorcycle, Flip Flop. I ask of lot of it, and love it more all the time.

Most here have no idea how much you really do ask of it, I would guess...

I am truly impressed, Wayne.

z brown, i didn't crash, my bicep snapped while duck-diving a clean-up set. i found out after surgery that my bicep tendon had dislocated ,due to rotor cuff damage, into my subscapularis muscle " sawing" into the muscle for a few years thus abrading the tendon, a result of to many years in the construction biz / climbing / skiing / surfing / ect. most likely. the wave above was the last straw in a already jacked up tendon
