HI Everyone, I am an avid bicycle rider - everyday and every where.
I was hit by a Greyhound bus (I was going through the cross walk and the sign did say walk) on Oct 6th and shattered my left leg - tib and fib. I had a fabulous surgeon and DR and now have a rod in my lower leg and 4 screws.
After 6 weeks and one sessoin of PT, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle (same leg). This week I had a small screw placed in the ankle.
Everyone tells me that in 6 weeks I will start walking again, that I will ride my bike and run again. I am a little scared, and afraid of more injuries, but trying to stay positive. It's just been about two months and now I am starting over. It's just a long long time.
Thanks for listening.
