One Week Post Crash and Rib Fractures

Well, it's been a week of limited mobility and pain.  Nice.  I've been to the Doctor on a follow up and things are going good. My lungs have no sign of infection and I'm making sure my breathing is deep.  I've been taking quite a few pain killers and muscle relaxers so I can function and sleep.  Each day is an improvement and today (Sunday), I'm feeling about 65% better than last Saturday of the crash.  I'm still amazed at how I ended up riding all the way home. I did have Advil with me, so that helped a lot.

I'm getting a little more than antsy about riding my bike again.  I wanted to take the squishy bike to the dikes, but the gravel surface may be too much to handle.  I don't know if my sides will take it, as I'm having some pretty good muscle spasms which are pretty painful.  I don't know if my back is out and I need to see my Chiropractor, but it wouldn't matter anyway as the ribs dictate no chiropractic treatments right now.

Oh well, life goes on. Glad I have time off and for Netflix.
