Best to Worst in a Day

[Lise]

I am so sorry to hear about the accident. I'm glad you have the memory of the ride before it. Glad you're alive to tell the tale, as others have said. And thanks, Lisa, for posting the bicycle safety site. I was glad to see I do most of what they suggest, and learned some new things, too.

Healing best wishes, Cassandra--keep us posted on how you're doing. Some Traumeel (homeopathic remedy for injuries) and Rescue Remedy (homeopathic treatment for a bad scare) might not be a bad idea. Take care. L.

Traumeel! That's the name of that stuff. My acupuncturist was talking about it recently and used it on my shoulder. <writes down>

I'm so, so sorry about your accident. I was hit by a truck in May and my bike ended up under the rear tire of the truck, too. Take very good care of yourself and don't try to push it too hard too soon. And if things aren't feeling right, go see your doctor immediately. I waited a long time before doing that and found out that I had problems that hadn't been found the night of the accident.

Take care and I hope you start feeling better soon,

Susie

Healing thoughts your way!

MY $0.02 is
$0.01 Take the pain meds. Pain simply depletes your resources, physical and non-physical. There are a zillion pills out there and if one doesn't work, try another.
$0.01 Let people help you. People want to help and like to help. They do not like to see others in pain or distress.

Keep us posted
Thinking of you.

Listen to Margo! This is not the time to be a big girl and tough it out. Your PT and everything else will go better if you're conisistently taking whatever pain meds are recommended by your doc. And don't wait until the pain is excruciating before you relent and take them. Pain meds can keep your pain under control if you take them consistently and keep a reasonable amount in your system, but often can't handle severe pain if you wait too long to take them.

How did the drive react? (Or do you have any memory of that.)

Prayers ascending!

Actually I do remember the reaction - once I got up off the pavement. She (it was a gal), kept saying she was sorry and didn't see me. I honestly did believe her, I didn't think she was making it up. Then again, if she had looked, she would have seen me, she just didn't.

Every day, I'm getting a little better, though admittedly my anxiousness to ride again is far outpacing my recovery
