New Ride

[invsblwmn]

Ok, it's been almost 3 years since the accident. I love riding again. On Tuesday, I was told that I have two carotid aneurysms and need surgery Wednesday next week and again in a few more weeks for the second aneurysm.

After a bit of freaking out, I spent a butload of money and ordered my Lightning r-84. I am allowed to ride it on the 26th. Fingers crossed that all goes well. Accepting any butterflies, wishes, prayers, and just moments of sanity.

My family and friends will be here, but inside I am in a bit of a freaking out stage. Outside, "It's all good" is what everyone sees. I'll let you know how it all goes. In the mean time, my current Rans Rocket bike is getting lots of exercise. Thank you all for letting me just be me and for all the support you give. ;)

Don't freak out.
It's gonna be fine, just picture yourself riding that beautiful bike and that will be the new reality before you know it.

I hope the surgery goes well, and you recover quickly.

That bike is going to be FUN! Enjoy!

It's so nice to hear from you again. What a treat to have that bike waiting for you after you recover from your surgery. Wishing you all the best both during and after your operation. :)

Tomorrow am it is. :eek: Thanks for all of the kind words. Got a 50 miler in on this past Tuesday and a hilly 25 in 1:45 today. Total of 130 miles this week, slacking, but cannot wait to get home, get better and put that lightning to the test. Anyone wanna go cross country and raise money for Operation Scarlet, Shar Pei Rescue? My three legged babies are from there and thinking next year after my surgeries are done, it is time to make some money for this wonderful group. Love you guys!!!! :D
