 Davenport, IA |  Subject: How do I stay sane?Ok, bad bike crash 4 weeks ago. Shattered my right arm (see pics in album). 3rd follow-up with the surgeon today. He looked at my xrays and said "Wow, it's just not healing." I've been ok until right then...always been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but now...man. I'm having to hope not to miss next season now? It's killing me. I don't have indoor hobbies, and I'm a really active person. Any suggestions on how to keep my mind together until I'm healed? |

| 3 | Subject: RE: How do I stay sane? I crashed 2 weeks ago. I can swim, but, can't push off the wall. No running or biking. I am going insane as well. I am craving that running high. Like a drug addict craving that next fix...... How do you stay sane? I really don't know. If misery loves company, than, at least you have some company. I really could use an injured triathlete support group  To further the frustration...I can feel my mid-section expanding...the pants are already getting a little more snug. UGH. |

Expert 1128 Boston | Subject: RE: How do I stay sane? Injured my archilles tendons a week back during a beach run. Haven't run since. Really miss it. Of course I have all these new ideas of running routes. Seeing sports MD tomorrow. Can still bike and swim but the wind really got taken out of my sails. |

Master 1286 Mt Pleasant, SC | Subject: RE: How do I stay sane? Hello Mr Sprint DA Wow! I am stunned by the pictures of your arm. I think you should go buy an X-Box 360 and relax until your Doctor says its ok for you to start training again. I am not a doctor but I have plenty of experience with them cutting into me. ( appendics, knee scope, collar bone, rotator cuff repair, hernia & melanoma) You should be worrried about loosing your arm and work hard on getting it healed. There is always another season. Good luck with rehab Kevin Sprint_DA - 2009-07-20 10:01 PM Ok, bad bike crash 4 weeks ago. Shattered my right arm (see pics in album). 3rd follow-up with the surgeon today.
