    I'm just really impressed with you, Jeannie! I can't ride that much and I've never had my pelvis fractured.

    Way to go!

    I know what it was like when I got back on the bike after my wreck and I know how wonderful it feels. You went through so much more than me too.

    Did you feel stiff? I did.

    I wish you many, many happy miles!

    just curious.....(if you don't mindme asking) do you have any chest pain from the ribs/lung injury? Did you have a chest tube? What issues are you still dealing with?
    Thank you. Of course, I don't mind you asking, Silver. Ohhh yes, I did/do feel stiff!!

    I didn't ever have too much pain from the ribs. Of course, in the beginning, I suppose most of that pain was very well medicated! The lung did cause some discomfort, and yes, I had a chest tube. I have a not so pretty scar just under my right shoulder blade from the chest tube and ensuing stitches. They didn't worry so much about the look of things. I also had a stint put in my ureter to keep it open because my bladder was lacerated.
    I'm not having any issues with those injuries, and surprisingly never had any real issues with the ribs. I guess the pelvis was enough.

    As far as issues I'm still dealing with... there are many, but mostly manageable. Some pain in my lower back/coccyx/pelvis - mostly achy, and mostly when I've over done (which is pretty much every day). My knee was also involved somehow, and the nerves going to my right foot, and I have a good bit of pain from that. Flexibility. I can't sit yoga-style with my feet crossed. I can't stoop. I can do squats, but if I just stoop down to, say, get something out of a bottom cabinet, it hurts so bad I have to go all the way to the floor! Those are things I can work on... Not major, and life goes on...
    There are other things that aren't physical... I'm very emotional these days, and have a bit of trouble focusing on things for more than a short while. I have trouble dealing with crowds. That is at least partially due, I'm thinking, to the fact that I've pretty much been out of *real* life for six months now. Hopefully it will get better with a little more time.

    And now I'm getting prepared to go back to work part time this week. My disability company has totally messed things up, and stopped paying me with no warning, so I'm dealing with the added stress of having, through no fault of mine, absolutely no money.

    My strength and patience are being tested at every turn.

    Way to go! You definitely are an inspiration! Thank the "No" Dr. for being so wrong! Bet you have really worked hard for this!
    It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)
