Bummer! Sorry to hear about your injury. Yours sounds like it might be in a little better shape than mine. I hope you recover quickly!

I just went for my one week follow up visit and the doc upgraded me to a grade 2 AC Separation. Still no surgery, still same projected recovery time but it just made me feel a little more depressed about the whole thing. While I was talking to him he looked at me funny and said "I can see your collar bone moving around"! Oh, great!

I went and bought a good trainer and set it up and started riding it. It will be better than sitting on my @ss eating donuts but it is going to be a real challenge to make myself get on it every day.

My biggest challenge is going to be not letting myself get depressed over this. When I'm off the bike for more than a few days I really notice how it affects my temperament and overall attitude toward everything. My wife usually notices too! I ordered some bicycle related books to read hoping that it will help keep my spirits up.

Keep us posted on your recovery and what you are doing to keep yourself from going nuts when you are off your bike. I'll try to do the same.
