Glad it was not more serious.
We gear up as best we can, but have to expect to take injuries now and then. Usually when you least expect it and things are otherwise going well. Its like paying a tab every so often for the good times in between. Only riders understand this. Hopefully I'm paid up far in advance!!
Oh, and you do not want to break a femur. I never did but those I know who have say its the worst thing besides a spinal injury. Major surgery, long rehab, and most of the time a second surgery to remove the hardware. I'm dealing with rehab of cut muscle for a clavicle plate install and it sucks, I can only imagine rehab of what it takes to install a rod in your femur. I'll take an ACL any day, out patient surgery, walking in days, riding in months.
