Being fit helped save my life

While cycling to town on a secret mission last weekend, I hit a bump on the bike path.

The bike lock dangling over my handle bars changed position and prevented me from steering my bike.

I hit the ground with a violent thud.

Once I regained consciousness, someone came to help me get up and I made my way to the emergency ward to have a CAT-scan, x-rays and get examined by a doctor.

Thankfully I was healthy and physically fit and was wearing my bike helmet or it could have been worse, much worse.

I sustained a concussion, bone contusion to my left femur bone and injured my shoulder and arm.

I feel grateful to be alive today and have a entirely new appreciation for life.
