Hey!


I just realized that I haven't updated my blog in FOREVER!  Yikes!


Well, I broke my ankle in 2 places, a tib/fib fracture for those of you that know your bones.  I got surgery May 19th to get all the pieces back together, 7 screws and 1 plate later I'm off the bike for 3 months.  I am so very depressed right now.  I'm missing Hangtown and Mammoth which I was really looking forward to racing because I think that I got faster and wanted to see if that was true.  haha  Anyway, I really am bummed out.....no riding for days and I can't do much else either since I can't walk.  I'm going to try to get my screws out right after I am healed up because I have heard too many horror stories of people having their screws backing out and bulging out of their skin, ewww!  And I want to be 100% with further surgeries in sight as soon as possible.  We'll see if I can make that happen, sometimes life gets in the way of the best plans.  If so, I guess I'll have it done over the winter.


I hope that everyone else is having a lovely start to their summer.  Let me know what you're up to or if you have any suggestions on what I can do to keep myself busy while I'm stuck on the couch for weeks on end.


 


xoxo
