Lance Armstrong to have Surgery

Lance Armstrong will have surgery for a broken right clavicle he suffered in a bicycle accident in the Tour de France. Lance Twittered the following message:

“I’m alive! Broken clavicle (right). Hurts like hell for now. Surgery in a couple of days. Thanks for all the well wishes.”

It’s hard to believe people do Twitter updates while they are in the hospital. Late Lance said in a statement:

“The crash has put my upcoming calendar in jeopardy, but the most important thing for me right now is to get back home and rest up and begin my rehab.”

“I think for the Giro it’s a very big problem. For now, the biggest problem is just the pain.”

“I’ve never had this happen before; it’s pretty painful. I feel really miserable.”

Armstrong is scheduled to compete in the Giro d’Italia from May 9-May 31, then the Tour de France from July 4-26. At the moment, it’s believed Lance will be healed enough to compete.

Get well soon Lance. We want to see you win another Tour de France.
