so, i made the mistake of not roughing up the skin on the foam shim I put on my backbrace, and the second I tried to roll my boat running grumpy's on the middle ocoee I pulled myself out of my outfitting, botched the roll, and swam pretty much the entire length of the rapid from the entrance eddy down to just above stagin eddy
luckily I didn't actually end up in grumpy's hole, but I'll probably be walking with a limp for the next week, anyone got tips for working out bruised muscles?

after my last bad swim, a friend gave me some arnica, it seemed even better than ibuprofen, helped the bruises to disipate faster, reduced soreness. You could probably find it at health/ natural food stores.
good luck with the outfitting

I know the feeling on 10/17/04 I surfed and ended up swimming at broken nose.I caught the eddy right of the s wave . peeled out caught an edge no biggy rolled right up but caught an edge again flipped by now i'm at the 1st ledge roll up as I go over and land it just to be lookinjg at the bottom ledge turned sideways with my offside facing downstream. So I throw a backstroke and drop the 2nd ledge dead backward no speed , and right in to an automatic surf surfed for a while until my skirt blew wasnt wearing lap belt because i was paddling solo stood up pulled my boat out of hole with paddle . got back in my boat said a few choice words went down to slice and threw some cartwheels
