I saw the X-rays on Saturday but couldn't reply until today. Ouch! That looks awful. It reaffirms my decision to be a runner. You're too old for a lollipop. I think that deserves at least a new prime lens.

I've been prescribed both paracetamol and codeine. I'm not using them as much as I'm allowed to. The bone isn't bothering me unless I bump it but my muscles are really aching, which I think is largely due to being partially immobile. The closest I've come to that previously was sleeping with three cats in the bed. > I notice nobody has asked the obvious question, though: how's the > bike? ;-) I still haven't looked at it. I know the front wheel has a small kink which should be repairable. I know the brakes still function, and there's not really a lot else to go wrong :) I'll have it looked over very thoroughly in the next week or two. FWIW I had my broken helmet replaced today. The manufacturer only has a crash-replacement discount in the USA but the shop had them on special with a really good discount. I had to choose a different colour though as they only had two left in my size. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. !SIG:4713064a112741342821193! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
