Injury
I took last week off completly because of exhaustion, thinking I would start my comeback this week. My bike has been in the shop for 5 days and should be ready today. Unfortunatly I'm not ready. Part of my relaxation consisted of sitting on my butt drinking beer all weekend at the lake. Beer and jet skis don't mix. Took the jet ski out and had a bad wreck. I thought you couldn't hurt yourself in one of those things - I've had tumbles before where I just fall off into the water. However, this time I bounced up high and landed on the jet ski as the jet ski was hitting another wave and bouncing up. The full impact hit my right shin and I bounced a second time. The noise my leg made when it hit the jet ski didn't sound like a body hitting plastic - more like a gun shot. I thought I had shattered my leg into pieces. That happened Saturday. Today is Tuesday and I know I didn't shatter the leg, but am concerned that there is some very bad damage. My self diagnoses after scanning the internet is very bad, so I'll spare you my thoughts until I see the doctor on Thursday. At this point I would say there is a 95% chance I'm out for BS&G. I can't walk or move my leg so that would make riding a bike a little difficult. It's too far away yet and don't know exactly what I did, so I can't say yet if the beach ride is out for me, but I think right now I am very doubtful for that. If it is what I think it is, I'm just hoping I can make next year's ride. More after Thursday's prognosis.

So the new slogan will be we will ride for beer and Dave. If I am riding BSG you will be there as well. You got me into this ride so you better get well soon!!!
Ouch! That's hurts just thinking about it. I'll stay off the jet ski at the beach this weekend. Get well soon!
