Thank-you, ladies, for your suggestions and thoughts! They are appreciated!

Well, I feel much better today. The x-rays were negative, just bumps, bruises and scrapes. Nothing that a little antibiotic ointment, Motrin and an ice pack can't take care of. We get a copy of the police report at the end of the week and will be using that to seek compensation. I agree with Annie and others about getting my bike checked out at the LBS and will be doing so. That, along with the visit to the ER, and the price of a pair of shorts I will be asking for.

What was rather funny, was last night after we got back from the ER and I was sitting with an ice pack on my knee. I looked over at Mr. Tater and said, 'I wonder if I can be back on my bike this weekend.' He rolled his eyes at me. We are having some beautiful weather and since I don't start work until tomorrow, I am just itching to go out for a ride. But I know I need to let things heal, so that is what I am doing. Medicating with a batch of homemade banana nut muffins and hoping they will make me heal faster!

I too, am a dog owner, but he has manners and knows his place in the world. I just wish these other two did as well, I would hate to see what happen to me, happen to one of the smaller kids running around here.

Thanks again, ladies! Ride safe.
