What wonderful news!
I'll never forget my first ride after fracturing my pelvis in a cycling accident and being laid up for several months. I was back on the bike three months later, very wobbly, slow, and nervous, but I did it. I was so damn proud, and you should be too. Congratulations! May you have many more safe and wonderful rides!

May you continue to have succesful and fun trips.

WAHOOOOOOOOEYYYYY!!!!!!! :D :) :cool:
Isn't it wonderful to be back out dere!!! YYYYYahooooooowwweeeyeyey
invsblwmn, welcome back to the road.:cool::D Your determination, bravery, strength, and patience is admirable.
Well Ladies,
It was a year last Friday since the accident. I get to ride everyday now, usually only about 40 minutes but I get to sweat and to get a breeze going at 35MPH. Who would have thought so much could change in one little year? I will never forget the support from this group. Understand that every little "butterfly, hug, hang in there" gave me the push to do what I needed to do. We are resiliant little creatures, eh?
Still working on the injuries, little stuff though, like an epidural and a tens unit with still a bunch of meds. Love the new house. Still single and actually ok with it. Friends are everywhere. Family and I feel closer than ever. The cats are living large. The Catrike is my favorite car and I am ALIVE!!!! Not just breathing, but really alive! Thank you for all of your support in the last year. I am so grateful for you guys! Dawn
You are triumphant! Way to go!

This is a fantastic message to read. Thanks and keep it going!
You provide such a positive message to all of us. Best wishes for your continued recovery...
Welcome back to the game! :cool:You're awesome!:D
Dawn, thank you for such a wonderful update! As others have said, you are an inspiration! :) So if any of these butterflies I keep sending are more than you need, just pass them along. They get more powerful that way! ;)
Hugs and butterflies,
~T~
ps - are you getting the pictures? your email seems to be bouncing them back to me....
Dawn, you are truly an inspiration to all of us; but especially me. :p
Dawn.. you sound so wonderfully positive. That is an inspiration to us all. Keep up the great attitude, and "hang in there". Congrats on getting the 40 minutes a day in. Many don't, and cannot even imagine the appreciation of being able to do so. You are amazing!
I saw the "Invisiblwmn in hospital!" header on the screen and thought, "Oh no! Not again! Poor Dawn!" What a relief when I realized it was a follow-up report about great progress :cool: :D In fact, you're getting in more time-in-the-saddle than I am :o Way to go, Dawn!! Keep on riding ahead; the rest of us will just have to try to keep up with you.
