Ouch...bike crash

My last post was July 8, and that evening I played softball then headed home. Part of my front fender became loose and wedged itself into my front spokes, and caused a wipeout. Several hours and an ambulance ride later I found myself in Lions Gate hospital with a concussion and range of scrapes. Luckily my helmet took most of the shock, but I wound up breaking a bone in my face, and nothing else. I'm a pretty ugly brute at the moment, with scabs slowly dropping off. And it's taken a while to overcome the concussion, which left me "slow" to say the least. And I've been unable to hardly walk, save bike, but I will feel up to it next week!
