    Tommy takes a tumble

    Posted from Tom Jones' (The Empire - er's) FB page:

    "... tuesday went out for an exploration w jenny, ram, john d and the rap anchor i set up failed when i was 10 feet off the ground. broke my right wrist a small fracture and got a little bruised up. i am feeling lucky that is all. it is good to be lucky. so - 5 weeks in a cast, learning to type with just my left hand!"

    He is trying to minimize typing, and asked me to post here. I saw him last night and took this lovely photo of him posing with Tuco Ramirez, the healing bear with cowboy flair:

    Heal up quick, Tom, and I am very glad you are still here.

    Dang anchors! Glad it was only 10' and surely hope you heal up real quick! I found out yesterday (had the consultation on my MRI) that sure enough.....torn rotator cuff! Advantage I've got is that I'm waitin' until January for surgery so's I can heal up over the course of the winter months!

    Tom and Ram went up the hill to do a little slot
    The anchor missed, Tom broke his wrist
    A cast is what he got

    Get well soon.
    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    Wait. Is 7 wpm slow?


    Now would be a really good time to confess any canyon mistakes or near misses.


    Get Well Soon!

    We of course expect a 3 page double spaced document, entailing all the necessary info.

    Best Wishes on healing, old man Tommy...
