Thank you everyone for your kind and uplifting words. I'm getting a lot of conflicting advice about the clavicle, hospitals and all. Later today there is a sports ortho coming to see me and take more X-rays. I'll know more then. All of my equipment made it home including my pit wheels thanks to three fellow racers and my wonderful family. No idea of the bike damage but there will be time for that.

Did they let you take part in the Easter egg hunt at the hospital?

shovelhd, I'm so sad to hear of this. Positive thoughts to you, and I hope the sports Ortho makes the right choices in the treatment of your injuries.

No but they gave me solid food. A chicken cutlet. My left hand is in a cast. Idiots. So instead of trying to eat it like a Neanderthal, my roommates wife cut it up for me. Super nice, because her husband has a stent in his throat and can't eat. #hospitallife

Jeez shovel, I just got caught up. Man I hate hearing about this. Sending good thoughts now and some reapers when/if they come in.

Heal fast.

[MENTION=196014]shovelhd[/MENTION] I checked the phone after Junior started napping. Had to get to a real computer to read and type. Holy smokes. Take it easy, heal up, let me know if there's anything I can do.

On a completely un-important note in light of Shovel...

If you keep Zwift on in the background and aren't focusing on it, it's quite possible to completely miss someone sending you a message and make it seem like you're antisocial. Alternatively you can see someone you think you know and not message them, and then make it seem like you are antisocial.

Did I ignore you when I did my 5 min test? Heh.

I'm a spiritual guy so believe me I have thought a lot about that. It was really dangerous out there. I owe you a set of bibs. Pick out a nice set and we'll catch up.

Ha, I was thinking my lack of attention could have been seen as rude. Too much time on my hands and stupid shows on tv will do that to a person.
