Bike crash (long)

You'll probably be pretty stiff. If you can get someone to go with you, perhaps take a short walk outside. I've found that being outside when you are injured helps to heal your soul.

Glad to hear that you weren't seriously hurt. Sounds like you have a great family to take care of you and watch for an after effects.

Do let us know how you are doing from time to time.

A walk sounds like a great idea. I will be going batty tomorrow if I have to stay inside all day.

My friends and neighbors have been fantastic. I've had so many kind offers of help. My neighbor who took me to the ER dropped her plans of going to a 40th reunion event with her 2 friends so she could help me. Of course, I reminded her that it was payback for all of the times that my girls and I have watched her cats when she was on travel and the countless times that I was cleaning the litter box at 6 a.m. before I went to work! And thanks, 7rider, for giving me your phone numbers in case I need anything.

Pfunk, so glad your spill wasn't worse. Take it easy, rent some great classic movies, and lay around in the jammies. When you get to feeling better, treat yourself to a new helmet.

Thanks! More great advice. I love classic movies.

Sounds like you need to rest for a day or so. Pamper thyself.

It's a great feeling to be alive and whole.

Oh, yikes. I'm glad you aren't hurt too badly, but do take care of yourself these next few days. Don't risk another head injury. Enjoy the sofa and movies and chocolate.

Thanks so much everyone for all your support. TE is great! My running friends are going to be horrified when they hear about my crash. They will want me to lock up my bike forever or sell it.

If you're feeling like a walk...Stop by the shop today - around 11 most of us should be back. Say "hey" and show off your road rash. You'll gain instant street cred!

pfunk - What a crash!

It's the morning after, how are you feeling? Hope you're not too stiff and sore. Take it easy today.

Pfunk - Your crash story and injury report are scary! I too am VERY glad you weren't seriously injured. They say the longer we ride, its more likely we'll experience a crash. Kinda worries me, but guess its the same for driving, eh?
Again - I'm REALLY glad you had a good helmet on. Do what your doctors and knowledgable buddies here say. Hope you heal up quickly with no residual issues.

Gentle fellow-cyclingTEr hugs to you
