On Oct. 25, my basket caught the bike rack as I was taking off. Apparently, upon the sudden stop, my foot slid off the pedal and got trapped underneath. Things are a bit foggy.....
Broke the Tib & Fib and ended up with "intermedullary nailing of the tibia" on the 30th. So, I'm in the "titanium fibula club".

ALL my scars together look pretty mundane compared to your wrist!
