Hi,
I had an altercation with a wasp that resulted in a dive over my handlebars at 40 km/h and a shoulder roll on the asphalt. Doc says I have fractured my scapula but it is a "good fracture" and does not need surgery. Does anyone have experience with this injury? I know I'm out of Ironman Canada in a month but can I reasonably hope to race again in September? Also, has anyone tried riding the trainer with a shoulder injury, any advice? Any advice on how to speed recovery or at least preserve my sanity while I can't do any of my favourite activities? Feeling pretty down right now after so many hours of training for Ironman and just looking for some advice/help/wise words...
