<p>The wrist is better, but the fingers are still a bit sore/stiff (slowly improving). My road bike was a total loss--cracked the head tube. So, I've been riding my CrossCheck around since April. Currently at about 2500mi for the year. </p>

<p>Some details about this. The accident itself was dumb and happened in the Skokie Lagoons. I saw deer well in advance and they pranced off the trail as predictably as they usually do---except for a sudden U-turn which put them right back on the trail whereupon I hit a juvenile doe square in the center of the face. I was going about 16-17 mph and launched myself over the handlebars. However, the "crumple zone" for this crash seems to have been my hands. </p>

I was going about 16-17 mph and launched myself over the handlebars. However, the "crumple zone" for this crash seems to have been my hands. </p>
<p>Basically, two broken fingers on one hand (volar plate fractures). Multiple incomplete fractures in the wrist (scaphoid, triquetral) of the other hand as later determined by MRI. </p>
<p>All things equal, I consider myself lucky that it wasn't a whole lot worse. No surgery (yet) or cast, but I must continue to wear a wrist splint for awhile. I've decided to sit out the entirely of winter and to make at effort at returning to the bike in the spring. The last thing I need to is slip on ice and go down again. </p>
<p>It turns out that December is a good time to get an injury in one way though---the health club was running a new year's special with no sign-up fee and all sorts of other incentives. So, I'm just going to hit the stair climber for a few months as I nurse the injuries. </p>
<p>As for the bike---I finally just managed to get it to the shop. The whole steering is stiff so very likely a bent/broken fork or some other damage in the headset. No official word on that yet, but I'm hoping I also don't have to buy a whole new road bike. Sigh.</p>
