Thats right Ian! You got into a bike accident too! I forgot about that.

How did you fare?

Any lingering pain or problems?

My primary injury was a shattered shoulder blade and four broken ribs. I still have some shoulder pain, and my right shoulder isn't nearly strong enough. The ribs don't bother me.

I also had a blown knee from the accident that they completely overlooked, and that is still causing me significant problems. It gets reinjured every few months. I need to break down and get surgery.
