As some readers may know, I recently injured myself at a dance rehearsal while basing an acrobalancing move. Arms linked with those another girl, she balancing on my back while attempting a bicycle, something gave way and she began to slip. With no other option availble but dropping another human on her head, I went down on my knees.
POP!
After over a week of hemming and hawing, I went to visit a doctor at a clinic downtown. Two hours later I was released with a bottle of ibuprofin, a printout of recommended stretches and advice on relaxing and reducing the swelling of the muscles in my quadrecep that'll be likely painful at the end of a long day of riding.
In the unlikely event that I succumb to the pain there are two plans:
- If South of Olympia: I will call my parents, arrange to have various relatives get me back to Portland and leave my big bike there while riding with the rest of the Sprockettes up to Vancouver in a rented minivan on Thursday night.
- If North of Olympia: I will call upon members of the bike community nearest and make arrangements to cross the remaining miles to Vancouver by motor vehicle.
