About one year ago I broke my arm. I was riding on a path in the wood and tried to ride down a small slope where rain had eroded some soil. I fell backwards and had an unfortunate landing on my right hand/arm. In fact it felt like I had fallen on a sharp stone, and first when I looked at the arm I could see that something had gone totally wrong.
Pictures after the surgery can be seen here: verletzungen...
6 weeks after, however, I managed to participate (with caution) in some competitions in Unicon 16.
Then about 4-5 months ago I suddenly was not able to bend my thumb. It showed up, that the tendon to the outer part of the finger was broken, which probably was a side effect/consequence (I’m not sure of the correct English term) from either the titanium part or mere irritation of the tendon after the fracture. Anyway, I had a surgery on that two months ago, and was not allowed to do any sports for 12 weeks 
! The tendon needs time to grow properly together, and an unlucky fall or overload of the hand could make it break again.
Luckily the surgery was performed after the Düsseldorfer Marathon in April, which I completed - my first marathon! 
Now I’m longing to be allowed to run, swim and ride my bike and unicycle soon again!

PS. I have now bought KH gloves …
