From what I understand most, if not all, insurance companies consider cyclists to be pedestrians - so glad to hear that is so in your case. I hope your recovery is sooner than later! I would still have a lawyer in mind just in case legal counsel is needed.

Sorry to hear this and hoping the healing goes well….if you’re having problems sleeping and if you live in Wa. you might look into edible marijuana for that instead of your pain meds.

That's a thought. I wonder if it would help with the constipation problem (totally tmi, but I haven't had a bm since weds...)

Pain meds will do that, Laura. Have some nice vegetables.
Rebecca, that's a good idea, too.

Oh my yes, call your doctor if the bm thing doesn't resolve itself. You don't want that to become a significant problem.
Fwiw, my friend broke her femur in a bike crash in mid-March but she is already riding again, slower and shorter rides than before but riding nonetheless. You will need time to heal but you'll make it back too.

Yep, opiates will do that. FWIW, after my faceplant, I got way more relief from Aleve than from the Vicodin that they prescribed, though I didn't have any fractures. MJ is a good suggestion, or failing that, at least add a stool softener or Milk of Magnesia, they're pretty benign.
