I decided my recovery ride would be a "standing" ride and just practice on riding out of the saddle. Anyhow I finally got into my OB-GYN this morning and I have a hemotoma (bruise ) and I busted a few blood vessels that turned into huge clots I thought it was hernia for sure....felt like my small intenstines had come through some tissue. Anyhow he said I shouldn't ride for 3 weeks.....and he will see me again on the 23rd and if it doesn't get re-absorbed by my body then I have to go under the knife I have to use heat and switch it up with cold.........so I've been using my hand warmers from snowboarding and then ice bags.......I am going to do my last ride Saturday the tour de fire and then chill out til the Encinitas ride. So if this all doesn't work out this femme is going to have to have a sex change
