I am truly in awe. You are an amazing example of what someone with strength, determination, bravery, and heart can achieve. I'm very happy for you. :cool: :D
Woo Hoo!!!
Wow!! That will show old Dr. Sourpuss. :D
What can I say -- bad typing abilities and JUST SO EXCITED about what Jeannie accomplished that I transposed. Sorry, kid, didn't mean to sell you short.Quote:

I'm just really impressed with you, Jeannie! I can't ride that much and I've never had my pelvis fractured.
Way to go!

I also had a stint put in my ureter to keep it open because my bladder was lacerated.
I'm not having any issues with those injuries, and surprisingly never had any real issues with the ribs. I guess the pelvis was enough.
As far as issues I'm still dealing with... there are many, but mostly manageable. Some pain in my lower back/coccyx/pelvis - mostly achy, and mostly when I've over done (which is pretty much every day).:rolleyes: My knee was also involved somehow, and the nerves going to my right foot, and I have a good bit of pain from that. Flexibility. I can't sit yoga-style with my feet crossed. I can't stoop. I can do squats, but if I just stoop down to, say, get something out of a bottom cabinet, it hurts so bad I have to go all the way to the floor! Those are things I can work on... Not major, and life goes on...:rolleyes:
There are other things that aren't physical... I'm very emotional these days, and have a bit of trouble focusing on things for more than a short while. I have trouble dealing with crowds. That is at least partially due, I'm thinking, to the fact that I've pretty much been out of *real* life for six months now. Hopefully it will get better with a little more time.
And now I'm getting prepared to go back to work part time this week. My disability company has totally messed things up, and stopped paying me with no warning, so I'm dealing with the added stress of having, through no fault of mine, absolutely no money. :mad:
My strength and patience are being tested at every turn.:(
Jeannie, you are marvellous!!!!
Hey Jeannie!!!
I hope you sent an air signal to the Dr you had in the hosptial. Wonderful to hear you're back on your bike & doing as much as you can.
Best of luck when you return to work & take it one day at a time.

Whoooo Hoooo you rock girl!!!!
Keep up the good work!
Ths is most excellent! Find out where the Dr. lives and start riding by his house.
Way to go! You definitely are an inspiration! Thank the "No" Dr. for being so wrong! :D Bet you have really worked hard for this!
:D :D :D Now that is a great idea!!:rolleyes: ;) ;)Quote:
