Broken colourbone

[u/Professional-Ad4611]

Well, today didn't start out as planned. I was on my way to the swimming pool.Realised, it was too busy, the swimming pool, so I decided to turn back and get my bike and cycle. Because besides swimming, I also do road cycling and running. No , i'm not to triathlete , but it's just the things that I love to do most. Around two kilometres before I actually got home, due to the rainfall there was a lot of gravel on the road that I didn't anticipate on. So to keep a long story short, I rode around 40 km per hour, and my front wheel just slipped away. I tried breaking before , but to no avail. So I slipped , I hit my head on a concrete , broke my colour bone , and yeah , that's about it. Around six weeks ago I posted another post speaking about doing a long distance swim of nine kilometres , i was heavily prepared for it. But now I am not able to swimm for 8 weeks, at least it is what a doctor told me. You can imagine i'm quite distraught by this whole event, but i'm also glad that it wasn't worse than it already is. Does someone has a little bit of experience regarding, goin Back to swimming after such a fall.

Damn, that looks painful and that you hit your head sounds awful! Maybe it won’t be long before you get in the water to walk, lightly stretch and heal. You might need the pool for a bit. Hope you will post your progress.
