Lotta water under the bridge

I've been out of commission for a bit of time. One, the Dane and I decided to move back to Largo as we had a house that wouldn't sell (who doesn't). Two, during the move (well, after most of it), I managed the bonehead move of the year and slipped in the shower and crashed on my side. The outcome wasn't good, smashed up ribs 8-9-10 on the right side. When the ER doctor is impressed with the x-rays, this is never good! I was in such pain I've never experienced in my life (and never want to again). After being bedridden for a week, I'm now starting to feel better. Sleep is still a bit sketchy as every time I move, I wake up to the pain. Getting used to that though. Must have heard in the ER several times that I have "high pain tolerance", yeah, tell me about it! So, no training for three weeks now and not due to any training injury. This unpredictable break is a nail in the coffin of my wanna come back late season attempt! Damn. I was just starting to get motivated again and the hammy was doing pretty good. Life is strange and throws us some curve balls that we don't expect nor plan for. So, plan now is to start exercising again and let the ribs heal at their pace. When I look back, I cannot believe the way the last 11 months have turned out but, as Lance says, sometimes you're the hammer and sometime you're the nail and I've been the nail for this period! My preparations will be to prepping to being the hammer for '11, we'll see. One thing that is a real bummer is not being physically capable of enjoying the SUP! Such is life and I'm alive without further injury. RIP to my most wonderful aunt, Katie - another victim of cancer. Damn.. May she make Heaven a better place!
