Thankful for Hydrocodone!
While I was waiting on a friend, I spotted this deer checking me out.
pick of my shoulder. could have been worse.
The ER diagnosis is: left AC joint separation, contusion left chest wall, and T1 clay shelver fracture. The ortho I saw this morning said no surgery but definitely physical therapy.
here is a pic of where it occurred. I was travelling from right to left. The opening in the tree line for the driveways gave me a false sense that the road continued straight. when I realized that the road curved to the right I tried to bleed off speed an started sliding. I knew that if I continued to try and make the corner that I risked hitting the tree. I decided to cross the grass and head for the driveway. I would have made it if not for the drainage ditch that was obscured by the crest of the grassy area. it was quite a ride. I prefer dirt over gravel because the small rocks provide little traction.
here is the xray.
I can return to riding when I deem it is safe to do so. Just getting out of the lazyboy takes my breathe away.
I was fully geared up. Could have been worse.
