crap! i just got word that bruce reese's wife kristin broke her collarbone tonight at science center. and they've got triplet pre-schoolers. best of luck kristin! bruce and christy will have to form a broken collarbone supporters network.
speaking of support, i went looking on the internet for some idea of what to expect for broken collarbone recovery. this link is a long discussion thread of those suffering from a broken collar bone. it gives a pretty good idead of what to expect, what to ask for, and what to watch for.
like any internet advice, take it with a grain of salt. the only real bad advice i saw was taking advil or ibuprofen for pain. recent research has shown that these can impede the production of new bone, and because of this should not be taken for fractures.
also check out this post. apparently we're dropping like flies out there.

Paul, Paul, Paul....should've stuck with running - ha! Obviously not, the bike thing has been great, but ouch! You would think that would happen out there on one of those slimy trails. Hope you aren't tossing and turning at night. Rest well and recuperate. Talk to you soon. XOXOXO PS If we do a pub crawl, can you drink one handed this once? That should aid the recovery!!!!

thanks for stopping by my humble abode! the first couple of nights have been rough, but i make up for it during the day.
as far as pub crawling goes, now is a great time for that type of activity! even one-handed, i'll do fine.
xoxo to you too!
Kristin is doing ok considering. She broke her right collar bone. Clean brake though, no surgery needed. Just time. She is bummed though, she was training for the Dirty Duathalon on Sat. I guess I will be riding in her place. Take care.

Thanks for the update Bruce. Tell her that lots of people are thinking about her. FWIW, I'm better today than I was two days ago, so she's can look forward to that.
