Default That explains the clicking noise every time I moved(Hurkey Creek injury report)
Most of you who went to the Hurkey Creek know I went down on Ernie Maxwell's. It hurt after I fell, but today, the pain was really bad so I skipped out on the rides up Thomas Mtn and other rides going on today. After I got home home and off loaded everything, I went to Urgent care. I just got back from the Doctor's and the x-rays revealed my 10th right rib broken. I guess I should be thankful that it wasn't splintered cause it could have punctured my lung or kidney. Besides, I finished the ride (most of it anyway- I bailed on the last 3 miles). So aside from the break, everything else is cool. The Doctor made sure I was breathing ok(lung checked) and asked if I was urinating blood(kidney check). It will take 6 weeks to heal, but that's just the standard number they throw out for most breaks. She told me I'd probably be riding in less than 2, but that's if it doesn't hurt to breath. She gave me a note to get out of work for a week. So I'll just relax and heal a bit. On a postive note, my knees don't hurt at all. Thanks to all for all the concern, Advils and other pain killers. I'll be back before you know it.

You are hardcore, Gene. Feel better, you tough mother! And for God's sake, don't watch The Office or The Family Guy for at least a week. Seriously. You'll heal much more quickly if you're not laughing your ass off.

Unhappy Darn Grasshopper....
I let you out of my sight for one weekend and you break a rib! Most sorry to hear... I know you will keep the positive thoughts going and that will help the healing... probably good for the knees to rest a bit more too. ... all part of the game.

Heal quick bro!

Gene, your one tough dude, I saw you fall to the right and slam into the ground. It was a hard impact-just glad you went to the doctor's office. Heal fast and ride soon....

Heal up, Gene & enjoy the week off work!

Only 2 weeks off the bike leaves you plenty of time to get ready for the Traverse, right?
