Setback number ....uhhhhh...well, many

While on vacation last week in the Dominican Republic, we decided to take a Segway tour.  You know, one of those two wheeled, gyroscopic controlled vehicles that are absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to fall off of.  I admit it...I fell off of a Segway and broke my collarbone.  Yep, sure did.  I'm not going to tell you the story because it isn't important (that I actually threw myself in front of a school bus that was careening out of control toward a group of children playing in a park and as a result of the collision with the bus, my collarbone broke - but the bus was demolished and the kids saved....errrrr......well, that's not EXACTLY what happened...).  What is important is that my running future is on hold.

I had surgery last Tuesday to put a plate and a handful of screws into the collarbone to keep things together.  I'm sure that I will be a prime target for the TSA now.  Tomorrow, I see the doctor for a check on the progress.  Everything feels good now.  I'll post again after the doc tells me what he sees.

More tomorrow...

As always, thanks, Mom, for reading...
