Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I thought I posted the entire story of my Bike mishap somewhere on SkiDiva but I can't find it.
I had thought about blowing it off because it seemed soooooooo insignificant compared to the crashes of Tradygal and Volklgirl, with massive injuries/stitches/such.
Here is the update on the Ortho apt today, as well as the Original report and follow up with pics from Epic.
Update
Saw ortho today, who chuckled at the ER report on my hand.
Though there may be ligament damage, he is not assuming that, nor approaching that until the fracture is healed.
The bone the ER doc said had a fracture does not have a fracture, which is probably why I am not feeling pain in that area, and haven't been feeling pain in that area.
The bone that actually does have a fracture, is the Pisiform(No this is not a renal issue) (C) in this diagram
I will be using brace the next two weeks. He's assuming that I won't be laying low, and encouraged me to listen to the pain and not do things that the pain won't allow.
I'm guessing I'll be back on the bike by next Wednesday for my Hump Day Ride!
Okay Class, any questions?[/quote]

When a whooo hooo turns into an Oh Sh................iiiiiiit!
Since there have been a few questions posed to me after posting a bit about a broken wrist in the Wed night ride thread, I figured I should fill in the blanks.
I had one of the best ride nights of the season, Thursday night. Getting the bunny hops, popping logs, and ripping through the down hills, ruts, roots and all!
I had tons of Whooooo Hoooooo! Going on!
Then it happened.
The guy in front of me(new guy to the group) wasn't expecting some significant sand, he baubbled, which forced me to take a different line, one of which was worse with sand, which sucked me off trail where I hit a log(or something) under brush and went over the handle bars.
Bruised hip, strawberry marks on my stomach, hit my head hard on the ground(thank goodness for a good helmet), and twisted my wrist.
I figured I sprained my wrist, so, no biggie, finished the ride, loaded my bike and headed for dinner with friends.
During dinner, my wrist started to bruise and swell, ugh!
off to ER for xrays. Yup, Hairline fracture, and possible ligament damage.
I think I'll be back on the bike in a few weeks, but I won't know until I see the sports med doc on Monday.
I woke up on Friday morning, only to find a few extra bruises, aches and pains, not to mention a black eye.
My new goal, Turn the Oh Sh........its into Whoo Hoooo's, not the the other way around!
*The truly horrible thing about this, even though I'll probably be back on the bike in a few weeks, I have a feeling that my golf game is done for a looooong time.:(
What VG hasn't told you, and I left out of the story, is that, I had sand and crud on/in my helmet, so here I was, getting up and sorted out and to help me, She wacked me in the head to knock the dirt off my helmet!!!
Thanks, I know I can count on you!!!
