Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Ouch!!! Guess you will be pretty limited to walking. Keep up with the food. I'm sure your fitness will help with your recovery. > Hi all, > > I disappeared from online for awhile, but I've still been > enthusiastically body for lifing Till this morning when I took a > corner badly on my bike, went off the side of a bridge, and broke my > shoulder. > > Working out at all isn't an option till the bone knits a bit.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Ouch mon! Well, you just made me feel better. I just tweaked my SI joint deadlifting and I¹m pissed as can be, but at least I know it¹ll calm down. Nothing¹s broke. Was it as bad as it sounds...the going off the bridge part. Broken shoulder sounds screaming painful, I know how much a broken hand hurts. Yikes. > Hi all, > > I disappeared from online for awhile, but I've still been > enthusiastically body for lifing Till this morning when I took a > corner badly on my bike, went off the side of a bridge, and broke my > shoulder. > > Working out at all isn't an option till the bone knits a bit.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 it's certainly the most painful thing I've ever experienced - including childbirth. But it still surprised me to hear it was a break. That's denial for you! > > > Hi all, > > > > I disappeared from online for awhile, but I've still been > > enthusiastically body for lifing Till this morning when I took a > > corner badly on my bike, went off the side of a bridge, and broke my > > shoulder. > > > > Working out at all isn't an option till the bone knits a bit.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Nothing too exciting, just my own stupidity. Where I live, we have tons of dirt biking/hiking trails. In some areas, there are narrow bendy wood bridges to get over streams. I normally walk my bike on them, because it's hard to make the turns and the wood is slick, but this time I convinced myself I could make it, cut a corner wrong, and went straight over the side. Thank goodness there were 2 good samaritan joggers nearby who were able to help me out of the muck, walk me and the bike back to the main road, and flag down a biker with a cell phone so I could call my husband to take me to the hospital. In the future I will: 1. get off the darn bike! 2. always carry a cellphone 3. find a way to similarly help someone in need > > > it's certainly the most painful thing I've ever experienced - > > including childbirth.

I resisted getting a cell phone for several years. Once I started road biking a lot, though, and often by myself, I took the plunge. I've also been caught out on my bike in a " sugar low " and was barely able to make it back home. A $20 has been tucked in my under-the-seat bag for probably 5 years now (in case of hunger, break $20). Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
