Thanks for all the well wishes, guys!
As for my injury report, my shoulder bruise has grown into something worse than it was. It actually grew pus and seemed to burst on its own overnight. Still feel it when I reach for stuff, or sleeve rubs against it. For my knee, I also feel that when my pant legs rub on it. Still have a slight limp when walking. I feel I must be ginger or risk reopening it before it heals and falls off on its own.
I do wish I was fully healed. I miss not cycling. But in Sacramento this week, we still have all those fires going on (unhealthy air) and 110 degree summer heat, so I can wait til Friday (someone predicted it would take one week).
