"D" "N" "F" !!!!

coming into the last 1/2 mile of the 63 mile San Ardo road race...

"D" ON"T!
"N" OOO!!!
"F" UCK!!!!!!

Those were the three words uttered as 2 riders go down in front of me. I proceed to hit them head on full speed. Me and my bike take flight, landing hard on my left shoulder.

Later at the ER I am told by the doctor its a separated shoulder. Season over.

Thanks to Hank (aka Chocolate), Ammon, DPO, and Motorboat for looking after me and being great & patient teammates.

You too??? Man, sorry to hear it! I guess I got off easy compared to you. :(

Will you be at any of the races this weekend? If so let me know, we'll say hello.

Liz!

good luck...I had the same injury last year. My grade 3 did not have to be surgically fixed and it healed quickly, with only a small bump to show for it. No loss of strength or mobility and I don't even notice it, except for one tiny muscle in my neck, which cramps occasionally, but I think that is from the complete break of rib 2 in the same crash. If you have a choice about surgery--get a 2nd opinion or a 3rd opinion...
