Bionic Man (sort of)

The Orthopedic specialist suggested I have a plate placed over my clavicle. The ill fitted jig saw puzzle still looks the same. As amazing as the human body is, it apparently has some difficulty auto-magically realigning bones on it’s own. It’s an out patient surgery so relatively minor (as far as surgeries go). But I’ll be going “under” and under the knife. A little freaked out. Just a little. So for my sake let’s take tally of the newly acquired benefits I’ll receive.

1. The ability to refract lasers off my collar bone.
2. Possibly pick up radio transmissions from space.
3. Hoist large buses off of accident victims.
4. 1% closer to becoming fully bio-mechanical (for the oncoming repressive robotic government).
5. Opportunity to get up close & personal with the metal detection wand operator at the airport.

If I left any out let me know.

Went for ride in Annandale Park yesterday. The ride up was good. Beautiful day and feeling strong. But the ride down proved to be a bit more challenging. Coming off a berm, a little too hard on the brakes and my bike slid out from under me to the left. I went right toward the slop side off the mountain coming down full force on my shoulder. It only took a moment to realize that something was broken.

Hoofed it down the trail with help from The Chad. Came out of the ER with some pain meds & a sling. Looks like I’ve got a few uncomfortable weeks ahead of me.

So keep it safe out there kids. Never take your body for granted. And take a spin around the block for me.
