So, I had this 83 Fuji Espree parts bike I had picked up when building my wife's Univega Mixte Fixie. It was just lying around so I figured I'd build it and see how it comes out. After lots of lurking on here and a little sweat it came out quite nice.
Last week I decided to take it on my daily ride for its maiden voyage. It was about to rain and was getting windy. I picked up speed as I cruised back towards home. It was sprinkling kinda hard at this point and about 2 miles from home. Then low and behold a couple of city workers blocking my path. I swerved around them and got back on the sidewalk. I overshot my turn and my front tire got caught in between the sidewalk and the grass. I flew over the bars landing on my right side.
From what I gather I landed on the grass tumbled and then right back on my feet. The workers rushed over to check on me and pull the bike off of the sidewalk. Not a scratch or dent or bent part on the bike.
Me on the other hand. Grade 3 separated shoulder and 2 radial fractures on wrist and elbow. Luckily I landed well enough not to hit my head or the pavement.
I'm a week in and still feel like crap mostly due to a monster cast on my forearm. The bike has found a new home thanks to CL.
Anyone have any advice on getting this shoulder back on track?
