HI! This is the last night with my soggy plaster "club", so my DH immortalized it for me. Note the rub-on transfer (for scrapbooking RV'ers) I thought it was funny! Tomorrow a sporty fiberglass cast goes on! It barely hurts anymore, and I can tell that the ligament is working, I can move my thumb laterally a little inside of the cast. Tokie

I hope Raleighdon counts.

When he broke his ribs after his bike hit a rock in the road

[imdeanna]

(btw...LOVE the 'change daily' undies) LOL

and OUCH!!! did he land ON something? or just from the way he hit the ground?

[Fujichants]

Ick, this is scaring me! My little road rash bruise on my elbow is NOTHING compared to some of this stuff! And that was already quite painful.

[mimitabby]

he flew into that jersey barrier you see him leaning on at 20+ mph the rock was about the size of two good sized baking potatoes. He was drafting off the bike in front of him which is why he didn't see it. We still have the rock.

Just a couple of photos of a bruised/swollen leg..

I wasn't aware that bruises travelled. I'd never seen a bruised breast!

That sounds more like internal bleeding... eek!

Glad everyone is OK now and be careful out there!

OUCHIE!!!!! Tell Raleighdon for me Mimi that I know how it felt! I broke five ribs mountain biking at Captitol Forest one July in 2000! I came flying down this downhill section and lost control of my bike when I hit this slushy muddy section. I flew into the air and landed on, what I thought was nice fern dead leaf forest ground. But hidden in all the over growth was a dead tree! I landed square onto it! Knocked the wind right out of me! Bad thing is we were 14 miles into a 30 mile ride. I had to ride in pain (very slowly) the remaining 16 miles. The group took off (I told them to) but dear hubby Joe remained with me. We made it to the truck and then straight to emergency room. Yep confirmed 5 broken ribs!

HOLY MOLY
That had to been very scary not knowing what was wrong while being in that much pain!! Amazing that you were able to continue on 16 more miles!!

Oh my gosh, Mimi! That's terrible! It was a pretty nasty fall and glad it wasn't any worse. Sometimes I think I'd rather be on my mtb on dirt in case I do take a spill. Unless I fall on a tree like Sue.

i don't like this scary thread.

awesome war wounds though!
