Me, scrolling through:

“Oh this is nothing gross, not squeamish at all…”

And then an audible *oooooooooooooooooo* at that elbow.

Ouch ouch ouch. All my hopes for a good recovery!

Me looking at the photos.. ehh, my brother got friction burn when he was tipped out of the sulky mid race and skated along the ground. Not negating your injury, just admitting my ability to look at gory injuries after growing up with five brothers 😎

Okay, rhe picture from the accident in 2015 looks AWFUL (for you), but I don't understand a FB ban? Was it because you were showing your nice ass, or the gruesomeness of it??

Ow ow ow. From both accidents. Geez that 2015 one, you really landed hard. And this one, black ice is an invention of Cthulu or something, it's pure evil. Your poor shoulder and elbow. Glad you wife is taking good care of you. Hope you feel well and quickly.

Ouch! Pictures look similar to how I looked after my only bad bicycle crash, which also involved black ice. Hope all goes well with the shoulder.
