There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

I'm feeling much better almost no pain really. Thanks, and tomorrow I go to a pediatric orthopedic surgeon that specialized in sports medicine.
I really hope he'll tell me something better than last week. That doctor told me only how severe my accident was and that I shouldn't expect a full recovery and then he was gone.
Anyways good news! My bikes done, its getting picked up today, they say its almost as good as new! I hope they are right!

chin up!
Hi Katie -
How did the appointment go with the pediatric ortho surgeon? The doctor you saw last week was cruel to you. He needs to take a look at how he treats people. There are good doctors and health care providers out there. They care and they talk to you and answer your questions. They will encourage you and believe in your recovery.
I'm glad to hear that your bike is ok. Expensive bikes usually handle crashes pretty good. My trek 1500 was ok after I was attacked by the dog last summer.
Set goals and focus on getting better.

DOH! This is what I get for not reading the WHOLE thread!
Katie... here I was rooting you on, and you've already done the ride and are in recovery... sorry 'bout that. I'm just back on the bike after a surgery and came late to your story...
dang, sorry you crashed but glad you rode! You'll be back... and passing old women like me in no time!
hope the surgeon gave you better news than the other doc...There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

My appointment today was MUCH better! I really like this doc and liked what he had to say a lot more than the last!
He said mobalizing it is everything or I will loose range of motion so I got a full extension brace so I can move it up and down just not side to side and he said the fracture had already started to fuse so I just have to be careful not to make contact with any hard objects only.
I can already move it more than when we left his office this afternoon and I go back in 3 weeks my goal is i want to be able to fully straighten and bend it.
He said I just became my own worst enemy and best friend and that my speed of recovery was up to how much i could handle working with it. It hurts but I'll live.
AND!! I can get in the water and do kick sets to stay in shape!!!
Anyways today was a GOOD!
