Concussion, separated shoulder, hip subluxation and on it goes. I got a bruise on my hip the size of two dinner plates. Bike is ruined, so is my new Sworks helmet.
I wish I was 22 but I'm 51. I figured I would be riding already. I'm delusional and getting depressed. Missed over a week of work already.
People at work probably think I've skinned a knee. This is taking forever.
Nice rangefinder for the profile pix!
What's the grade of your shoulder separation? That can make a huge difference in your recovery time.
With injuries like yours, it'll be some time before you're back on the bike. Do what the doc says and take the time to heal up.
