drat - shattered scapula

[Trek420]

Isn't Petite'pois old enough to ride captain on the tandem and you can sit back as one handed stoker?

Sorry about the crash, but it sounds like between falling technique and proper winter layering things could have been far worse.

How's the bike ?

Ouch!! That is a hard one to break. You hit solid. You're right, you probably saved your clavicle by not putting your arm out.
I hope you are better soon and can get back on the trainer quickly.

FYI: As for the jersey, ladies, there are many ways to cut off a shirt. If you have the presence of mind at the time, have them cut near the seam on one side, right up the armpit. Or if you are sleeveless, have them cut along the seam across the top of the arm on both sides and pull it down your waist. Then it can be trimmed and sewn to save the shirt. I learned that from a veteran medic/cyclist I used to work with.

Good luck and feel better soon, MP.

oddly the right shifter seems to be toast. (I fell on my left side.) otherwise, seems ok, but it is going for a complete exam before I ride again.

x - the jersey saving tips would have been good. i am trying to think how i could patch it together with a little extra material. it would be one of a kind for sure.

have you seen the orthopod today?

[maillotpois]

got an appt for tomorrow. earliest I could get in. it's not life threatening. (flashback to not being able to see the pulmonologist for 3 months when I had as yet undi8agnosed PEs. )

Frame it? Make a pillow?

I had a pair of tights that I ripped while running down a mountain side, on national television. I framed those.

Can we see the video of that?
