I got good news from the doctor yesterday: no surgery! The bone chip is still floating around at the end of the ulna bone but as long as it's not bothering me there's no reason to reattach it. The break in the radius was all the way across the bone and while most of it's filled in with new bone, there's a split along one side that hasn't quite healed. The upshot is, use my arm, be careful, expect it to continue to hurt and go see him again if it hurts too much.

So that means I'm getting on my bike today. I have a staff development workshop all day today (and tomorrow) so I won't be able to ride until this evening but that's okay. It's been nine (!) weeks, what's another day?  I'm a little nervous about finally getting back in the saddle but I'm excited too. My plan today is to bike around the park a few times. The longer term goal is to bike to work on Tuesday. We'll see.
