    well...was strong and fit. saturday a commuter cyclist turned to see who was passing and instead of only turning his head, turned his bike and crashed into me. i went down hard. broke my helmet, collar bone, elbow, femur. doc says no compounds cause my very fit muscle mass protected bones. in wheelchair one month, and then start crutches,,,,etc etc, one hand typing. lots of pain. keeping up my spirits to heal well.

    Oh my goodness, that sucks!!!!!! You were sounding so ready for Alcatraz.

    I guess on the bright side all that work you have put in saved you from getting hurt worse, but geez... Oh man, I'm so bummed for you. Where's that speechless icon? Big hugs are coming you way.

    Oh man. (((((((tribogota))))))) So sorry that happened to you.

    Heal up quick, and make them give you better pain meds if you're hurting that much!

    Youch. I hope you heal quickly, too. Congratulations on being so fit that you weren't hurt worse.

    What happened to the commuter?

    Ah, Tribogota. I'm sorry.
    "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
