A twist in the Road(to the rally)

SO, I had a great time in Morocco.  You know, a day of rally riding then the next day I learned motorcycle acrobatics.   After 2 helicopter rides, 2 ambulance rides and 4 flights over 48 hours I made it home to my family!

Silly me, I was having a great second day until about 2 hours in and I was checking and rechecking my roadbook on a off track section.  When I looked up there was a mound of Camel Grass.  I was too close to turn so I laid on the gas, apparently the wrong move.  My back wheel shot me up in the air over the bars and I landed head first and then on to my heels.  Thanks to my neck brace I do not have any neck or spine injuries.  The bad news is that I broke my left fibula.

Today I had an appointment with my Ortopedic Surgeon Dr. Kelly LeFaivre who I knew from high school.  She had some really great news.  The thigmy whatsut is not cracked and my ligimundios are fine also(Pardon my non medical lingo).  Only my Fibula was broken and my ego.  She will reassess in 3 weeks and it looks like I can have my cast off at that point to give me 4 weeks to recover before the Dakar.  What a relief!
