Angela -
Thanks for posting Katie's story, and for being there with her. I'm sure that seeing your face provided comfort through her pain.

Katie -
Healing wishes are coming your way... remember, your bike and the pool will both still be there when your arm is healed.

One idea though, from another person who has a very hard time not exercising - walking can be good too. Not running, no jarring motion for your arm, just walking. That's what I did as I recovered from my own crash back in 2004. I went from riding 5 to 6 days a week to not being allowed on my bike at all for five weeks. The first several weeks I wasn't capable of even walking, but then I eased into walking. My walking time grew each day. It kept me sane, and it helped to maintain some level of fitness - much better than not doing anything. So - first give yourself a chance to rest, then ease back to an active lifestye as your body permits.
