Kind of a Rough Day

So the collarbone has been hurting off and on pretty much all day thanks to this brace that is trying to push it all into more or less proper alignment. This whole brace thing is a pretty imprecise thing, to say the least. For sure I'm already getting a little cabin fever from being stuck at home for two days straight. I'd been thinking I might be able to go in to work tomorrow, but now I think I'll have to wait until the morning to re-evaluate. The Wife won't be back in town until tomorrow evening, and I should probably not be driving myself anyway. At least I was able to get a little work done today. It's kind of strange, though, because now and then I find myself just zoning out in front of the computer thanks to the drugs.

I've found that my desk chair is considerably more comfortable than my bed, under the circumstances, although neither is really very relaxing. I nonetheless did get a fair amount of sleep last night, so that was good. I put the Cervelo onto the trainer this afternoon, which by the way is a bit of a challenge using only one hand, but I think it will be another couple of days before I'm ready to climb aboard. In the meantime I'll need to see if I can find someone who can glue the seatstay of the Orbea back to the dropout. As they often do, it pulled loose a little bit in that crash. Kenny was telling me that he used to just slam it back together and race it like that, but I guess I'd feel more comfortable if it was a little better stuck together! I left a message for Frank M, who I understand has some experience with that. Anyway, I figure I've got at least a few weeks to work on that little problem.

Welcome to the club, Randy!

I was sure sorry to hear about your crackup. I know you'll be missed in races, though probably not for the splendid draft you provide :-)

My only advice - if you find yourself in the middle of a dream in which you're tempted to punch somebody, wake up immediately.
