Tragic!

Sounds like maybe an auriculo clavicular separation. In 2001 I endoed my bike, then, doing my typical bike crash tuck and roll... I only got up to my knees at first. Hospital, x-rays, sling, pain meds... Took a week or more to lift my right hand waist high. The elbow down worked fine but for the first month I had to use my left hand to grip my forearm to move my right arm. The right arm just did not function at all, but a couple months following exercises recommended by some Physical Therapists I knew got most mobility back without surgery.

Yours sounds like it is not near as bad as mine was, with the mobility you describe, so I really hope you recover faster than I did!

Ouch, that sounds like a bad fall! Take it easy, maybe a rest day? Dodie will know what's best for you. I hope you are out of pain soon.

Just so you are not the only one dealing with feeling poorly, sore throat, fall and too many boo boos, I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow.. And just think..two weeks ago today I was in Germany. 😬 ( and, yes, did return with sore throat which morphed into a cold..) I am such a sissy.

More like an “ache” de Triomphe for you, Grampies 😢

Here I was chuckling over the potty situation and then blood is involved! Here's hoping that you feel better in the morning.

Hoping the shoulder heals but Beaume isn't a bad place to rest up a bit.
Best wishes.

Not to be indelicate - but what chance do you have of hitting the hole? Especially a woman, who is aiming blind? I'm familiar with squat toilets. Some places we visited in China and Egypt had them, and I actually preferred them as there were not contact areas. But those squat toilets had a basin of sorts between the feet, for much easier aiming!

As a female of a certain age, restroom facilities are of extra interest to me.

Your post sparked such good memories, and then I got to your fall. I am so sorry. It sounds really rough. Take those pain killers and stay put if need be. Hoping you have a restful night.

Do hope you are better tomorrow. Such a lovely area to ride in but not much fun if you are riding along with a cold and one hand on the handlebars. Good luck

The trick is to make realistic wishes that are not too dependent on outside forces.

Works exactly as well as when installed...

These signs are placed for boaters all along the canals, the Voies Navigable de France. We, of course, are not on a boat.

It felt amazing to have ridden almost 1000 km to see it.
