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.

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.
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? 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.
