Dislocated, fractured at the point where the lateral collateral ligament attaches, ruptured ACL -- and that's what they can see BEFORE the MRI (which they are doing right now.) I hate this. On the other hand, the surgeon said today that with such a severe injury, we should just be thankful that the artery wasn't ruptured and that the nerve seems to be intact. Hopefully the rest of it can be fixed, although it will probably take more than one surgery. And...he DID score as he went down.  |
owwwwwwww!

It's fortunate that I keep the bike in perfect running condition or I would have had to shell out lots more for repairs... I tend towards preventative repair or replacement during the year as any mechanical faults just reduce the safety factors. There are only two tires so they'd better be in good shape. And only three brakes so they'd better be working at 100% rather than 75%... Only safety concern now is the nut behind the wheel...
