Bugger, will they put a plate in or just screws ?, I'm assuming that it's a break.

Your daughters did good I reckon.

Now, if you want to send the 70-200/4 to a good home for a month, I can think of someone who would like to play with it

Nah, not broken, but where I've written 'mind the gap' there should only be about 1mm, not 30mm

Yeah, very proud of my girls

You'll have to pry it off Sophie first... But you are welcome to have a go with it next time we are at the same event.....

We were all very good and kind nurses! One took his shirt off, another took his boots off, another with an ice pack, plenty of sympathy! He was surrounded! Two of us were hovering over him trying to get the shoulder in. It was then Phil commented that this hadn't had this happen to him for 20 years. I did ask him for clarification on what he meant by the comment, 5 women, or his shoulder being out!!

I don't think Grace and Sophie even waited for the ambulance to come as we had more riding to fit in! They didn't seem over upset at his departure strangely! They rock!!! They made a banana cake with bright green icing to celebrate my new KX85!!!

Was hoping that comment would give you a smile LOL!!

Not good - hope you mend soon.
Good on the girls carrying on riding - what more could they do???
At Tussock when John got carted off we carried on riding until the youngest family member decided she wanted to go check out this place called hospital where Dad was - little did she know we were going to go collect him later anyway
