I was in a state of pain, shock, depression and self-castigation when I decided to quit:

Update: I'll take 6 months or more to get the wrist break well healed, then devise some kind of right arm brace AND quit the stupid stuff, of which I did a lot. All my skating injuries have been while dicking around sans safety equipment.
I've got a state-of-art lightweight strong fiberglass cast, it's healing beautifully, am making and taking bone broth, calcium citrate, vitamin D3, and eating prunes (said to promote bone strength). Now out of a 2-week deep depression and feelin purty good. You can really appreciate the highs after abject lows. Whoo!
The human body is magnificent in so many ways. I mean bones (properly aligned) grow back together. We, the managers of those bones, set things up as well as we can, then just sit back and watch while the body knits itself back together. Milagro!
I'll probably skate 80% less but hell, I ain't giving it up. It's too god damn much fun! I've long planned to get pics skating on my 90th and 100th birthdays. I'm just gonna be a lot more careful.
