July 3

“Pain don’t hurt”
-Road House

Road rash on elbow - crash + 2 days

Elbow’s healing up nicely…

Road rash/hematoma on hip - crash + 2 days

…hip not as much. The swelling in my hip has reduced quite a bit, although my hip is still very sore and obviously quite bruised.

“Put me back on my bike”
-Tom Simpson

This morning, I didn’t take any of the Vicodin that the doctor prescribed after the crash.  Instead, I did an easy pace ride of about 30 miles…Came home, changed clothing, and prepped the lawn for tomorrow’s 4th of July party.  Now going to ice my hip and sack out on the sofa for a while before guests arrive.
