Ouch!

July 13, 2006

Wow. It has been a very busy summer. Thus, my lack of writing. Last month I rode almost 400 miles on my bike which included the Utah MS150. I also had a girlfriend for a short time before we decided that we were better friends and broke it off. But the biggest news is that on July 3, I got in a pretty bad crash on my bike. Besides the usual scrapes and bruises I had a grade two tear of the AC ligament in my shoulder. It didn't require surgery, but it incapacitated my right arm for about six days. It was only on Tuesday of this week that I was able to even brush my teeth with my right arm. There's still a lot of pain and I can't lift much weight with that arm, but at least I can go to work. I'm happy though, because today I got a raise and tomorrow will be my first day back on a bike since the accident. Also, next week I'm heading to San Francisco to be in a friend's wedding and spend a few extra days exploring the city.

Neil, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. I'm glad you're okay (compared to what could have happened) and I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself.

Put this on your bike, and you'll never have to use the pedals anymore. (lol)
