Thanks for the update Gary. I'll be praying for your quick recovery.
Hopefully the helmet protected the sense of humor center in the brain, and
the white cycling shorts protected anything else of importance. Let me know
if there's anything I can do to help.

To my Gyro teammates, friends and fellow cyclists,

I want to thank everyone for their kind words and expressions of caring and
support.  It really has helped me more than you know this past week.

Thank you to my West Coast daughter, Amy, for posting the original message
about my accident and letting everyone know how I was doing and keeping tabs
on me.  Thanks to my East Coast daughter, Emily, for helping out.  To Faith,
my Midwest daughter, who is in medical school
- thanks for checking up on me and consulting with the local "experts"
at the University of Chicago.  And to my wife, Robin, a special thank you
for taking such excellent care of the old fart this past week.

I have two broken ribs, a left shoulder that has separated from the
clavicle, many damaged ribs making it hard to breathe and the usual
assortment "attractive" bruises.  It could have been much worse.

Tomorrow I go back in the hospital for surgery.  Dr. Singh plans to try and
put my shoulder back where it belongs.  He is confident the operation will
be successful.  I will have to wind back the clock on my recovery a bit so
it may be a while before you hear from me directly but I will do my best to
stay in touch.

I am typing this with one hand as my left arm is in a sling and not very
functional, so my apologies for the shortness of this message.

Be safe.

All the best,

Gary
