... got caught in some bad surf in Maui and ended up with five broken (snapped) ribs and a punctured lung. I had just returned from a business trip to Australia (hence the Akoubra hat) and met my wife in Maui for a vacation (hence the lei). Was subsequently air-evacced out because of the collapsed lung and, other than that, it was a perfect vacation. Haven't been surfing since ............
Once back home, I slept in a recliner for almost 6 months ... also couldn't shower alone for a long time until my wife figured it out. C'est la vie; c'est la guerre
