Went down in a crit yesterday, guy in front of me went down and I ran him over and endo'd my bike. Clavicle fracture, concussion, ass is bruised, face is pretty bruised and maybe fractured, but they didn't want to x-ray my head if they didn't have to. I'll probably follow up in a week or two.

So I need:

Romin saddle (143 or 130, I tried both and couldn't tell them apart, but I spent more time on the 130)
some helmet in L/XL
some glasses

Send me your offers, I know I'm an oval head and Bell stuff fits better than Giro stuff.

Thanks.

Wish I had some of this stuff just to ease your pain.
Get well soon and keep the brain safe.

I don't want to second guess your Dr. but the brain is made up of some of the most radio resistant tissue in the body. Depending on the hospitals protocols you could get a good idea what is going on with your facial bones in three views.

Heal well.

Major bummer. So sorry to hear about the carnage.

I have some glasses that I will post tomorrow when I'm on my computer rather than my phone.

Well if for example your cheek is super blue and u have a bump bigger than a house, is clear that u have a broken bone but the main problem with the face bones and maxillary broken bones is that before to do anything they need to wait until the swelling is gone.

Well this was before mri and stuff tho :P

Good luck.

PM sent with some sunglasses.

Hopefully your facial injuries amount to bruising and not fractures.

Yeah, I think the doc held off because the helmet absorbed most the force, and while my face is swollen, I passed all the "does it hurt here when I press" tests around the bruise itself. So hopefully just bruising and hopefully no scarring. My body has been pretty tired, so maybe that means it's recovering. I still feel dizzy though, especially going outside in the sunlight. :(
