Silver is Home

[silver]

Hi lovely ladies! Oh, it's good to be home. There were days when I knew I needed to be at the hospital, but it is nice to be home now.

Oh my there is so much to tell you all. let me see if I can get up pics.

The silver bike.....back wheel taco'd , probably from impact from falling out of the air



Top tube dented from impact from the handlebar twisting back, probably what made me pop up into the air.



Really not in terrible shape. It cost $100 to get it back to ride-able condition

I'm amazed at how well your bike held up.

Too bad it doesn't only cost $100 to get you back in ride-able condition.

Oh, dear, I don't even want to imagine what my hospital bill is.

ok, here's a pic of my helmet, see the indentation of gravel?



cracks on the inside, not sure if you will be able to see this

Take good care of you! Enjoy every little bit of improvement, take your meds, and rest often. It's not often the universe forces us to rest!!

Oh Silver, you poor love.

I know I have already posted on this thread but when I saw your photos, how absolutely awful, you must be in so much pain everywhere, I really do feel so sad.

Silver, let me thank you, I posted a thread yesterday with regards to info on wearing a helmet. After looking at the state of your helmet after the crash, I realise how dumb I have been, in not wearing one.

So, despite all you are going through, I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you.

Am off to look at helmets asap.

Now you get yourself better real soon but keep letting TE know of your progress.

Big hugs.

Sally
