Assume it was a crash hope you get better soon.
thanks, Pat. I always find the short game of positivity easier than the long gameYour positive attitude is amazing, ain't the Dilaudid doing that.
Haven't found any mention on the internet news yet. Internet fame and all.
Bummer. Road riding is getting so dangerous these days. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery.thanks, Pat. I always find the short game of positivity easier than the long game
a bit of trivia on tib/ fib recovery time 6 to 8 weeks with no weight on the leg. 😳

oh shit very sorry to hear that and speedy recovery for sure. Hope the driver got penalized somehow although in my experience they rarely get more than a careless driving ticket. Main focus is on the recovery tho hope it goes well.yep direct hit from a car. I was minding my own business, and he tried to drive directly through me.

I don't know you personally but I wish you the fastest possible recovery. I can't say that knowing what happened to you makes me any more eager to ride my bike on the road as I was planning to do trying to get back in some sort of shape...re-evaluating the stationary bike as I type this...yep direct hit from a car.

yikes. if you can bend it without too much pain all they will do is tape it to your ring finger and send you on your way even if its broken/dislocated.So out for my weekend ride on Sunday the 5th. Fall off a rock roll-over with a steep downhill bank. Land hard, look down, and my pinkie is at a hard left. While lying on the ground tangled in my bike I say "oh no no" grab that sucker and yank. Hop up, adjust my jank'd brake levers, and finish my ride. I get home and show it to my wife and son. My son immediately says 'we need to go to the hospital". My wife says "oh no, we don't have time for that".
My fingers are pretty thick anyway. Pinkie is swollen, but still bends. Did not get hit by a car.
thanks all

LMK if you want a tour of ur local trails.yep whenever I get back on the bike I got some thinking to do first
So one week out we got in to see the ENT.No pics and not my boo boo but related.
So to round out the week from hell yesterday at 2:15 pm my wife gets a call from the HS that my 16 year old was in the nurses office because his nose collided with Someone’s forehead during gym basketball time.
Took about an hour to convince him we need to get it checked since he had tickets to go to a concert in Brooklyn and meet up with my other son who is on a tour running the lights for the performer and is only in town for one night. Plus VIP passes for backstage etc…
Got to ER at 3:30pm. Left at 5:05 pm.
Including triage X-rays and discharge it was a miracle.
Broke his nose in two places. across the bridge and across the middle. Lucky nothing out of line or needed to be set.
He stuffed some tissues in his nose took 3 Tylenol and was out the door at 5:40.
He declined any pics. Black eyes incoming.
