Broken

Yes, broken. My body might be broken but not my spirit. I'm very thankful to have the people around me that I have. My awesome teammates who haven't thrown in the towel on me. My wonderful, awesome, amazing fiance Rachelle who left work early to be with me in the ER for almost six hrs. I just wanted to do flats on Thursday before Saturday's Davis Double. Well we all know that didn't happen. I was on my way back from Sac State and almost to Sunrise. I was actually a good tenth to two tenths of a mile from the exact spot where Jason and Elizabeth crashed. I think that road spot is a bad spot for TDL. Right at that spot I had slowed down to see if there was any cross traffic and little did I know Jason W., Ryan and Jared E. came screaming by me. They all yelled my name and so I picked up the pace and caught up to them. About two minutes later I was on the ground grabbing my shoulder wondering what the eff just happened. I keep playing what I think happened in my mind over and over. What had happened was, I was going around a turn Ryan was behind me and we were just about to get into a pace line and when I bent down for the turn I pedaled through it and my pedal scraped the ground and it was all over. I don't remember exactly what I did. We made numerous phone calls for someone to come and pick up me up. Low and behold when someone finally came and picked me up it was the same person who picked me up last year when I crashed. Quite funny. When I got to the ER I sat there for hours waiting for some sort of drugs to take the pain away. I didn't get anything until about an hour or so before I was released. While I was there, I got a cat scan on my head to make sure I didn't have any brain injuries because I have a dent about the size of a nickel in my helmet. Had to get a new seat that will be here later this week. Tomorrow I will be sending my x-rays to Eric Heiden and Max Testa to see what they about it. From what I saw it is a definite break in my clavicle. I still have hope until those doctors say yes or no because they have experience not the douche bag doctor from the VA. Thats a whole different story. Thanks to everyones kind words of hope and not counting me out! Thank you and I love you all!
