Mountain Bike Crash...

Saturday morning "Steve" went out with some guys to go mountain biking. He goes multiple times a week so I certainly didn't expect our day to turn out how it did! I got a phone call asking me what my mom was doing that day because we needed her to watch the kids so we could go to the ER! That's the phone call every wife doesn't look forward to! I wasn't sure what to expect and only knew he had crashed and hurt his shoulder. He didn't look to bad when he got home...shoulder looked a bit odd...but no major cuts and blood! So we took the kids to Grandma's and went and sat and waited to see a doctor. The doctor came in a checked him out and, just our luck, there was no x-ray tech there on Saturday so we left not knowing much! The doc gave him some muscle relaxers and some pain pills and said he would have to wait until Monday to be x-rayed. Now, "Steve" was pretty confident that it was just a strained or pulled muscle and he would be okay. He wasn't too concerned at that point because the pain had started to subside unless he moved! Well, he had x-rays today and low and behold....he really is hurt! His AC joint is separated in his shoulder and now he has to go see an orthopedic doctor to see what is next. That is all we know at this point but will keep you posted!
Luckily, his friends were taking pictures and got a picture of him right when he landed on his head!! Here is the crash...

Holy cow. Hopefully the ortho can help him out. Pablo had surgery on his should for I think the same problem.
