Two months in review.

It has been a little over two months since my last blog post. Well that crash on May 8th produced in bit more injuries than first thought. My left wrist and hand were quite sore the next day, forcing me to miss work for a few days.
After being off the bike for a week, I tried to go for ride. No going. I could not grab the handle bars in the drops. I resorted to taping up my wrist and hand so I could race. Hated the thought of losing my fitness. I was only able to complete 3 laps at BIKEJAM. I was still happy with that. I did two races at Ride Sally Ride. Finished both with a taped wrist.
Hoping to not lose my hard earned fitness, I spent a few nights on the trainer indoors. YES, TRAINER RIDING IN JUNE!! that only lasted two weeks. I was able to race the track in both Seattle and Trexlertown. Short efforts have been ok with a taped wrist. Long rides hurt. I've been getting out on the road some. Spent a week riding hills in Utah.
After the first week I went to the doctor for an Xray. It came back negative. Two weeks later I went to see a hand surgeon. The MRI came back saying I have a broken bone in my hand. It is called ' the hook of the hamet bone'. So the best way to fix it is to remove it. There is no blood supply for it to heal on its own. Surgery is the answer.
I was going to get the surgery done last Friday but my schedule just didn't work out. Now I am going to wait til August so I can race Superweek. :) a week of racing is always more fun than surgery. Off to Milwaukee I go.
