Note
(injured)
Appointment with Ortho Physician yesterday, 15 days from accident and 11 days from Surgery.
Basically good news. X-rays show clavicle is mending well, so I can begin to not wear sling at home and can try out driving (edit - not yet comfortable with this) . This and the ribs still hurt like hell.
I can exercise on static bike / turbo if it feels comfortable, but am not yet able to put any weight on bars (which limits anything serious).
Return Visit in 4 weeks after which I should be allowed out on the road :-)
So the events for this year need to be substantially re-organised. No Dolomites sportive nor spring events in Appalachians, but there are loads of other options.
Ideas:
US O Champs in Colorado. Loads of other sportives and rides to aim at in US.
Colorado Sportive
British Sprints and Middle Champs
Florida Autumn Event
Ride US 30:00 [3]
shoes: Turbo
Caad
Sitting up. First turbo session, still a long way off being able to put both hands in bars. Sweaty and good to be back doing something at least. The past 2 weeks have involved a short period of narcotic pain
relief, a lot of walking and probably grumpiness aswell ( sorry Linda).
Couple of days ago i watched the guy in apartment below ours get into his Camaro to leave for work. As he maneuvered his two prosthetic legs into the drivers seat and swung the wheelchair in behind him, I regained aa better perspective on my temporary blip.
