Narrative

EE was riding a 3 wheel bicycle when his left rear wheel caught a 4 inch hose causing the bike to come to a sudden stop. The forward motion caused the EE to exert more pressure on his bent left elbow. EE heard a ""pop"" and felt a sharp pain in his left elbow. Diagnosis is a torn muscle in his upper left arm. Surgery is scheduled for April 26, 2007
