tetonrider, this is such a shame. I know you can bounce back from this, as strong, or stronger, but crap.... This is not deserved.
Give it hell, and I look forward to your next race report!
hey, all--thanks for the support. i got out of the hospital wednesday and am working on my program to reduce inflammation, just as i did with my collarbone. i was surprised to get a phone call from my doc yesterday where he told me i could start riding the trainer immediately. pre-op, he told me i could bear weight right away but it would take 3 weeks to be on the trainer. i was prepared to ask him why that was the case; turns out i didn't have to.
spinning felt great. so privileged to take this step in recovery. i am choosing to be optimistic.
