Its so wonderful that the crash did not deter you from hopping back a bike... well, onto your new madone...)
And to hear your progress and thoughts from you is super...
Bodies heal, and yours is doing well and am pleased that it is starting to feel almost 'normal' and relatively painfree... well - reduced pain anyways.
I totally understand about being more cautious and riding differently, but this is a good thing. Your silver-tinged family would be at a loss without you, and your experience will have given SilverSon some insight he may not otherwise have had and awareness that crashes do happen and the potential longterm consequences of that.
The best bit of your update???
But I feel good! And I love to ride. And I'm so happy that Mr. and Silverson are riding too. Life is good!!!
