Doctors and New Years Wishes

Well I have had two sets of x-rays on my collarbone, both showing that healing isn't progressing as it should.  So my orthopedist has ordered an EXOGEN Ultrasonic Bone Healing System to help get the growth started.  I am hoping this helps get things going.  I also tweaked my knee last week running, I had the doctor take a look at my knee while I was there.  I may have a torn meniscus, but I am hoping it is just an irritated tendon or something, but he scheduled an x-ray just in case.

I did get some shoe covers, full-fingered gloves and a Pearl Izumi headband for Christmas, so now I can ride in the cold.  Although I don't know if I will be riding much until my knee feels better.  I am hopeful that next year works out better, no surgeries, collisions or otherwise painful problems.
