| + | Well, I'm here. Checking the service level at Saint Joe's (//local hospital//). And it's pretty good. But to get here, I was testing a new bike with brakes that work beyond belief particularly the front one if you wiggle your front tire. Also tested my Apple Watch decelerator and got a call from some people and they wanted to know if I needed help - I thought maybe I did but all this occurred just 500 feet from the gate on the road coming back down from the Chantarelle Trail. A few minor things, wrong ribs, collarbone, lung but they cleared the lung up... what I'm most perturbed about is not being able to paddle that new boat which I just have gotten set up and felt really good. Go home tomorrow.\\ | ||

| - | Another one bites the dust, update. On one of the last rides coming down from fragrance, over 6 weeks ago, I took a spill, banged my elbow and hip, got up and dusted myself off, no big deal. The two weeks later did the first weds night race and the next day I noticed my elbow had swollen up to a mushy balloon. Bursa filled with fluid. After continuing to the paddle in the waves it go worse. I tried to soak it which helped some then would go paddle and it would get pretty hard and bothered. Eventually went to the doc who drained it, put in some steroids and told me to lay off the paddling for a week to 10 days which means I'm missing all these nice wave reports. I tempted to go but the doc said it could become chronic and take a long time to heal. The mountain biking seems to have a higher risk reward ratio than kayaking. Falling out of the boats, even being rescued, seems more an injury to the ego compared to the potential of even a small spill. I hope to be back soon, hearing the reports are the worse part of the recovery. | + | **Matt** |
| - | DMow | + | Giving substantial meaning to: Just wiggle a tire - suspect there are a number amongst us that would happily attend to your new boat's exercise if you feel it is being neglected - here's to a speedy recovery from the paddle's #1 path to injury - see you back on the water soon. |
