Yes, I did it again. Another ride in an ambulance to treat me for a bicycle mishap. Traveling down a local street finishing my forty mile ride, I was within half a mile of my house. Approaching a stop sign I noticed a car to my left that had the right of way. Hard breaking and hitting a wet spot on the road resulted in me being flipped off my bike. I landed on my right side. When the ambulance arrived I was hesitant to go because I felt the pain would subside and I could be on my way. But, as luck would have it, I was unable to stand on my right leg as sharp pain tore through the area. After the x-ray it was determined I had cracked the head of the femur. The good news is they only had to put in three pins through a small incision. The surgeon said it was the easiest of all hip injuries to repair. So once again another biking mishap. I will be off the bike for from 4 to 6 weeks. Wondering if I should retire from that activity. Later
