Dear SUZEQFL! I can understand and feel your pain. Last week I posted a note telling aboutmy first crash story. It was hard, practically devastating. Luckily, I did not break anything, but I am still treating my nasty road rash on my left shoulder, arm and leg. But, it was all worth it. A week later I won the Et Tourn de Phoenix among women on 26 mile route. And I also finished 14th overall among 130 riders. Believe me, I could not look at my bike and at the road after the crash. My husband was very worried about my ability to get back on it. But you can, I am sure that you can. When you are able to exercise again, start slowly, but please start. You have to do it for yourself.
By the way, I play tennis as well, and it is not a safe sport by any means, unlike many people assume. If you play hard, you can easily roll you ancle, create nasty shoulder problems and destroy tendons. So, forget about easy. It never is! But you are a strong woman, believe in yourself, and you would be able to get through this.
Thanks for sharing and get well quickly!
