Well, I had a little setback.
I felt my elbow give way on 3 occasions and I called my regular doc to report it. He in turn called in to his favorite ortho friend and got me in to see his partner on Friday afternoon. :) Turns out it was the ortho doc I had planned on seeing because he's an avid cyclist. :cool:
He examined my elbow and stated that it would heal on it's own. Surgery is not indicated. Yay! I did graduate from the sling to a hinged elbow brace for support. He also told me I could wear a supportive spandex brace on the left knee and to not use the knee immobilizer. Yippee! I have to rest it for 2 weeks and I'll have another follow-up visit. And being the true cyclist that he is, he asked how my bike faired in the endo. :)
I have really enjoyed seeing pics of the different trails. Thank you all.
Crazycanuck I almost expect to see a wallaby cross the trail.
Snowtulip I just love that shot of the trail. I would be a nervous wreck though if I tried riding it. It looks so narrow. I could just see me tipping over and sliding down the hill. :eek:
Dirdiva my husband is going to talk to our favorite mechanic about this and we'll decide. I think he's in the protection mode right now and doesn't want to see me take a bad spill like that anytime soon. :(
Tuckervill, my knee hurt everytime I read about your rock encounter. Did you shatter your knee cap? :eek: :( I would have definitely cried mommy if I had fallen on that rock. Ack! I love that bridge. I didn't know Eureka Springs had a trail there. We'll have to give it a whirl next time we're there--but not go kamikaze. ;)
