Seems like that is all I have been doing the past couple of years.
6wks ago, I fractured my scapula. Caught a lip on the pavement with a wet tire,
going too fast.....road kill.
.....so, I did what I always do.....
survey for unmovable body parts.....everything ok except my shoulder...
pulled myself up. Got my bike out of the street.
There just happened to be a bus bench right there....how nice.
....long story.......I was pretty lucky.
If I had not had my helmet on, I would not be writing this.
Bone fractured just below the socket....no surgery.
Ortho doc said there is not much to do but heal.
That bone is surrounded by big muscle and it just heals.
So, I got about the business of healing.
When I saw him again at 5wks, he said,
" You're much farther along than I would have expected,
for some one your age."
So, life goes on.
Feel the pain....do it anyway.
We get knocked down, we pick ourselves up,
and go on.
It was a beautiful, sunny morning.
I stopped along the way to enjoy.
I did a new loop from the new house.
Goes down to Bear Ck and up to Green mt.
Bear Ck.
Bear Ck trail takes you up and over Carbon Mt.
From the top of Carbon Mt., is the view of the Rooney Valley.
Green Mt. to the north, Bear Ck reservoir, Red Rocks Theater and Bandimere Speeway.
...and to the east, Denver.
No matter what it is, find the strength to pick yourself up.....
and get on with it.
I'll see you on the road.
