I rode my bike to the store tonight to pick up some food for the following week. I made a stop at the local watering hole on the way back.
In the meantime, the highway department, which had been doing some road work on my route for a whie decided to dig up a larger section of road than what they done this summer. On my way home I ran across this new section of digging, which was a good ten feet before I was used to running into their earlier work. I hit this new section of dirt and gravel that was pavement earlier today and lost it.
My backpack was loaded down with canned foods and such which took a lot of weight off of my front wheel so when I hit this new section of roughness I lost all constrol of my bke.
I am now nursing a road rash on my right knee and left elbw as well as keeping an ice pack on a badly swelling right ankle which I am really hoping isn't broken. I can't walk on it at all right now, but hopefully that'll pass.
While it would be natural to blame drinking for my current situation, I think grocery shopping is the real culprit here.

It's coming along I guess. The foot is all black and blue but I think it's slowly healing up.
