    OMG, I'm just seeing this now--poor Silver--so sorry! I'm glad to hear you weren't hurt any worse, though. Keep your wounds slathered in something like Neosporin, so they'll heal faster and less chance of scarring. Sounds like you've got one terrific guy taking care of you (not to mention one terrific surprise to come home to.)

    Sending hugs and compassionate, healing thoughts your way.

    Silver - so sorry to hear this news. Seems like there have been so many crashes among TE gals this year. I had my big crash (fractured pelvis in 3 places, surgery) last year, so I can unfortunately relate to what you're going through and will continue to go through during your recovery for some time to come. However, I'll also say that I'm back to running, hiking, and riding (mountain more than road) now, and I appreciate what my body can do so much more than I did before I ever crashed and went through months of not being able to do much at all. I remember thinking "Will I ever be able to power walk again?" And now I'm running! Really puts things into perspective and helps you feel grateful for life itself.

    You'll be in my thoughts. Be good to yourself and take all the time you need to come back.

    I am so sorry to hear about your crash, wrecked body, bike, helmet, but also glad to hear your injuries are healable. Thank yous to your DH for letting us all know.
    Take care of yourself and let your body heal.

    Prayers that you heal quickly and well and the pain is minimum

    THEN I go along with everyone else - let us know all the details


    It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
