    Good grief, that's wickedly horrible! I read about some Xterra race where the guy who won it did so with an enormous bleeding gash in some body part--caused by the sharp edge of the hard plastic Xterra race number on his bike.

    That shower shelf edge must've been razor sharp to cut through tendons. I'll bet the gym's just hoping you don't sue them at this point!

    And a fractured sacrum...sounds to me like you've got many great rides on soft warm days coming your way. Wishing you well in your healing,

    I *do* hope the gym is paying all expenses, plus pain and injury?

    Seriously, that's a hazard that shouldn't be there. You could probably get lawyers begging you for the case...

    Oh Doc...

    that's just plain awful. Good Luck on your recovery. If push comes to shove there is software out there that can help you write papers, e-mail etc.,
    dictation software. I am using it now, and it didn't take long for the software
    to ignore my Massachusetts accent.

    Doc!

    *cringes... *

    Who'd have thought... glad cast is off

    Have you been eating/drinking arnica? The cream would be no good on the cut, but taking it internally will help with the bruising and swelling... even so long after it first happened...

    Hoping you are back on the bike REAL soon!

    "I will try again tomorrow".
