Recovery Trail
Not being able to fly, I was driven back to LA from San Francisco on Thursday morning. Thursday afternoon and all day Friday consisted of multiple x-rays and doctor visits. All the broken bones were confirmed. Lungs seem relatively clear. Fortunately, everything else looks good. Now it all about pain management and healing. It should take about 6 weeks for the breaks to fix themselves, 3 months before feeling like I have fully recovered. Breathing is difficult given the ribs breaks, but that too should improve as the ribs heal.
Thanks for all the help, offers of help and well wishes from colleagues/friends/cycling buddies etc..
I shall be catching up with everyone very soon.
