Just when I was starting to realize that it's tough to get interesting & consistent material
for a blog... should I take a day trip to the mountains for some cool pics? ..profile my favorite ski tracks? Something more riveting needed to just 'happen'....which I proceeded to find when my Colnago wheel got caught in San Fran's finest trolley tracks, launching 195 lbs over the handlebars and making a smashing introduction of my elbow to the pavement. My first view was of two German tourists staring straight over me, not saying anything. An ER visit, trip to Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and scramble to check COBRA coverage later, I am in the fine hands of Dr Frank Chen tomorrow for my first surgery. Plate and pins and attempt to but the loose fragments back together (you can even see the fragments in the pic). Its the 'Olecranon' Process' that took the hit and separated from the Ulna. Huge bummer for this rare period of free time and reintroduction to biking, and a great outlet to blow off steam...but the mood is fine. Will approach the months of therapy with gusto. Big thanks to Mike and the Maser family for making the last couple days so smooth / T
Updated photo from April 9th. I went in today to get the cast removed and had a peak at the photos taken during the surgery. MUCH more metal than I expected, but grateful for having something holding it all together. Frankenstein lives! Bring on the physical therapy...
