Another setback

 After my September 9, 2020 bike crash where I broke my left collarbone, I took another spill on a training ride on May 22, 2022.  I landed on my right shoulder, hip and knee and struck my (helmeted) head on the concrete up on Route 46.  Nothing broke, but I lost a minute as I have no memory of the crash, just standing next to the bike afterwards.  At mile 18, I had to ride 10 miles back to the van and then drive home.  I went to the Advent Health ER on the 24th and they did a lot of tests which showed nothing.  Then I saw Dr. Awan, the DO at Advent RDV, and he ordered PT for me with David Garcia, a hip X-ray (nothing broken), and an MRI of my shoulder.  It's been 3 weeks now and I'm still hurting.  The week before my crash, I had a solid week of training on Sanibel/Captiva, riding 100 miles, running 12, and swimming in the Gulf everyday.  And this past weekend, I missed the first Sommer Sports Sprint Tri out in Clermont.  As this is a path I've traveled before, I'll just be patient and climb back up.
