I examined shoes/pedals with readers on there was gravel jamed in cleat l. So I was probably never clipped in well. So when I pulled during harder out of saddle acceloration... prob causal. Where I start from and park van is gravel.

Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope the healing goes well and quickly too.
Good reminder to check the pedal/cleat interface between heading off. |

My sense is this will be at least 2-3 weeks before i might pedal normally. ice since, heat and compress by tonight or tomorrow with light stretching. The limping not quite as pitiful already. Thanks all. Ice results have it a whole lot less angry in swelling dept. My wife took out a tape form sewing room and right leg was 2-1/2" around bigger than left leg, and that was early on. It swelled a bit more after that.

Went from ice to heat today after 72 hours.
Put hot wet wash rag with cling wrap, then hearing pad over for like 25 min twice. Already I can lift my leg. I had to use my other leg under it lifting with foot until today. To get the lame leg up on bed, or get pillow under it in lazy boy chair or bed. Thats a horrible feeling when limb/muscle seems paralyzed. Had to give up on the recliner, couldn't get back out of it...

Sorry to hear. I had sort of the opposite when I slid out last summer- bad road rash up and down my left side but internally pretty okay. Also had not been down like that since probably 1999. (I was knocked off my bike a few years ago but landed squarely on my butt and not even scraped.)
Its really is different as we get older. |

And it felt like it took forever and that was so frustrating. Was release home last evening and starting the recovery work at home now so I'm optimistic for both of us! |

And slight back tweak between the should blades. Which didn't help getting up from sitting or bed either. Nor coughing and sneezing... Argh! But the up side of being fit, especially @ 67 years old, is snapping back quick. I recall when 50 after breaking my leg skiing [tib/fib/plateau] 2 years of unfit slow back issue recoveries taking weeks not days.

Kinda needed it for a few days. But yeah, not a bad thing really.
Day four approx 93-4 hours after. Was wondering where the dark spots were hiding.. Swelling iced to minimalism, slept on NSAIDs last night instead of OXY like first few nights. You always get to feeling human when the OXY is gone, thanking lucky stars got there in 3 days.

Leg Dejour 6 days out after much melted ice. I really expected the dark blood bruising earlier, so this is no surprise. It is lividity pretty much. Entire leg is swollen still. Had not noticed the calf previously, apparently it took a little bit of something for the slight blood to sit there as well.
Did I say, ouch!? Going to take wife's new EV Trek Dual Sport Plus bike for ride in out quiet Sub-division in a bit. Been sitting in Van since Sunday awaiting inaugural. Not sure the knee will bend enough though...

The quad won't allow the knee to bend enough yet. So Dual Sport Plus attempt a bust. But that bike has way more kick than I expected. I rode an Trek EV FX up in Victoria, BC two weeks back, and I guess the 'Sport' is reflected in performance.
