Sorry to hear. Kudos go Josh for helping you out in an emergency. I guess you could try to find someone with an automatic that lives near you to drive up and swap cars for the drive home.

Heal up and props to @Josh Matta If you gotta break something, its a good season to get it out of the way 
I feel for you. I've been a lefty for the past week ... sprained my right wrist in a skiing-related incident. Sweatpants are my new business casual. Heal well.
Sorry to hear that! Hope you heal fast and well.
FWIW being a lefty ain't all that bad, welcome to the tribe.

I might have to go back to wearing the old jacket... I never got injured wearing that one!
Sorry, man. Can you still play video games?
I hear lefty's are mostly insane serial killers on meth. My condolences. 
Get well soon!

Ouch! I buried a tip and slammed my shoulder my last run of the Gathering but nowhere near the damage you suffered. Heal up. We will ski Stowe and Smuggs on NE Gathering weekend if there is anything worth skiing and we will miss you.

Bummer, Kevin. If you end up having to drive your car (I've done it with the right arm in a sling), check with your insurance agent before you do.

So sorry to hear that! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help while you're here in Stowe.
Skied Stowe again on Sunday with @SKI-3PO and his son. We were trying to catch a better vantage point for watching some U10 races when my ski tip got stuck in a hole, I got vaulted over and landed on my right shoulder. Ski3po went down to get patrol who sledded me down the last 200 yards.
An ambulance ride to the Morrisville hospital confirmed a humerus fracture along with a dislocation.
And many thanks to @Josh Matta for doing some car shuffling and putting me up for a day or two... Haven't yet figured out how I'm getting home. Broken right arm and a manual transmission car don't go well together.
Oww Ow Ow Ow. Top notch typing skillz tho.
I've driven 5spd with a thumb-to elbow cast but it's probably too fresh to put pressure on, eh?
Ouch!! That dislocation will probably require more rehab than you think, but I'll echo what others have said and say a big "WHEW" it wasn't a knee or something like that! And I, too, have driven a manual with only my left arm, so it might be worth a try.
Anyway, sorry to hear about this. I know a thing or two about season-ending injuries

No, but everyone else suffered.I might have to go back to wearing the old jacket... I never got injured wearing that one!

Yeah I broke the other humerus (I try to remain symmetrical) years ago... the rehab is going to suck.
I'm thinking now is a good time to try to stop that whole symmetry idea:0
Best wishes for a quick recovery!
Ya know..the cast can be molded around a pole grip, just sayin'..I have seen it done!
