Just have to tough it out a few more weeks with Motrin and heat and ice.
Not all bad though, I rode a bit over 80 miles last week, and I'm on pace for my normal 100 plus this week. Since I didn't fall, and my helmet saved me from any brain injury, the only severe injuries were to my face, so my doctor said I can ride and go to the gym all I want. Though I have re-thought what route I take now when riding by myself.
Thanks again for asking !
I am glad you are mending. Did they crack a lot of your teeth?
I am glad you felt good enough that you were able to get some miles in.
I remember re-thinking my route to a doctor's office. A couple years ago, when I was sideswiped by a motorist. I continue to use the same route. But my injuries didn't come close to what happened to you.
I am glad you didn't get a brain injury. I have live with one. All my life.
