Best to Worst in a Day

My goodness girl, I'm glad you're okay. Take time to let yourself heal and you'll be back before you know it.

Wow! So sorry about the accident, but glad to hear that you'll be okay. Do not secondguess yourself -- as someone else said, what happened happened and you need all your energy to concentrate on healing right now. So sorry about the bike, too, but it can be replaced and you can't. Take it easy for a while and let us know how the recuperation progresses.

Ouch, ouch... take care of that shoulder. ROtator cuffs ... you'd think "it's my arm, it's my legs I need for biking" but yea, communicate well with the docs and PTs aand don't assume it'll just get better.
Yea, you can't help but wonder "should I have been further out in the lane," "should I have been closer to the side?" Do you have a mirror?

So we are all Heights Rats here (you, me, and CorsairMac) I am over by Comanche and Louisiana. It would be fun to meet up with you guys sometime, either for a ride or just coffee (while you are on the mend!)

Long live the heights! Down with heights drivers!

We might even be neighbors even, I live on comanche/wyoming. I'd be up for coffee and a ride in the near future once I get on my feet again and have a road bike.

Update...of sorts anyway...

Managed to drive myself to the LBS. I already knew the front wheel was destroyed but sadly, my frame is toast as well. RIP lovely bike that was new just 3 weeks ago

Now I'm waiting on the police report to be filed, which it hasn't despite 3 days having passed. I'm sure if I don't contact the driver's insurance company, that they'll do nothing on their own - (unless the driver was a rare breed who actually called and reported it herself - I'm not counting on that).

I wiggled myself into the saddle of a few nice bikes they had there, all women's models....a Lemon Alpe D'Huez, a Trek 1600 (2007), Trek 5000. One of these is probably going to be the next bike I get, once this whole insurance thing gets settled. Who knows how long that will take.

Scary scary story!! I am glad it sounds like you are basically going to be okay. I hate when they turn right in front of you!! And even worse, when they speed up to pass you and then turn right in front of you!! Grr.

I hope that the driver's insurance takes care of you. Do not sign any release without talking to an attorney or being sure that your medical issues are fully resolved.

Good luck!

Yikes. That must have been scary as all get out.

Glad you are safe.

Keep my fingers crossed you heal quickly.
