Yesterday I had another bike accident. A mountainbiker ran into me and made me fly through the air into the fields. I have a massively bruised knee and a separated shoulder also known as AC joint separation with fully torn ligaments. This means my triathlon season is over for this year. I already canceled most of my races where I will get back the entry fees yesterday in the evening. I won't get back any for the race scheduled for the 1st of June and for the big race over in the UK the Challenge Henley which was by far the most expensive race.
I'll have to go to the doctors again tomorrow or on Thursday to check again on my shoulder. They'll decide if I need surgery or not. Normally over here in Germany it is common that you'll do surgery on this, in the US it is common to let it heal by itself and let the shoulder be in that torn state. The shoulder looks and feels different with bones looking to the front. But the x-ray showed no broken bones just the torn ligaments with the dislocated shoulder joints.
I haven't had a lot of sleep as I couldn't turn to my sides without feeling pain. I'm on pain killers.
I'm at work right now. Got here pretty early as I couldn't sleep any longer. I guess I'd get a written state of illness by my dctor but what would I do at home? I would just cry again like I did yesterday. I'm so very disappointed and frustrated. I'm so out of luck this year with all of my illnesses and injuries so far.
Well, at least I'll save a lot of money, with no further payments for my trainer and the races and the car rentals.
The mountainbikers health is ok. He had just a few bruises and a dent on the frame of his brand new bike. He was so very pissed and didn't care about me at all. He stomped around and shouted all the time, while I was lieing in the grass on the side of the bikelane. All he did care about was the dent on his bike. He said that it was only 3 weeks old and that it had cost around 3000 Euros. What an a$$hole! I called my insurance and they'll decide if they will pay for the damaged bike. If it would be normal street laws, I would be faultless as I was coming from the right side and as everywhere, it is the law that is right before left, or? I was slow and watching for oncoming traffic, he was very fast and came around the slight corner pretty quick with no chance of stopping or avoiding me. So he hit my rear wheel and down I went.
That's it for now.
