Karen's BlogThis month I'm handing the Blog over to a guest writer, Mark Paquette, the injured president of thedatabank. ~Karen In Spite of a Broken Collarbone, Reasons to be Thankful Today it's good to be back in the office, after spending most of the past week at home with a broken collarbone. The accident happened when I was riding my bicycle to work and encountered a Parks Department vehicle blocking the path. Not slowing down enough, I hopped off the trail and onto the grass to get around the truck, when a smallish branch on the ground caught my front tire and sent me flying. I remember thinking as I was going down that this may hurt more than the average spill. Funny how we while away the milliseconds in such situations. My helmet prevented head injury, but the x-ray showed my right clavicle snapped in two like one of my son's drumsticks. According to the bone doctor, I'll be ready to bike again by next spring. Happy Thanksgiving!
