Hey all -
I hope all of you are well...it was fun to meet CC and her DH and see our other TE friends, when we gathered in Seattle recently. I was sure tired by the time I got home, though! Seems like most activities take lots of extra effort...I haven't been able to work full days, as my concentration is off and I get so tired so easily, so I've been pacing myself and just kinda moving along here...s-l-o-w-l-y...as all is healing at a glacial pace it seems! I've had follow-ups with docs and have started working with my PT too. Also, both Linda and I have each received a concussion diagnosis, which didn't come as much of a surprise to either of us...I'm still getting headaches, fatigue and other symptoms, albeit mild in nature, they're still challenging for me! I've never been hit by a car before, and all of these injuries and the aftermath are new and unwelcome intrusions into my life!
Also, I think I'm doing surprisingly well in not sulking when I watch everyone else enjoying their rides!I wonder how I'll feel when I finally am able to ride again?? Of course there's still the huge issue of not having my bike, broken as it is, as yet either; the prosecutor contacted my attorney the other day to say that he wants the police evidence photog to take more pictures of it, before he releases it to me...now THAT's going to be an emotionally tough moment...sigh
Enjoy your rides and will someone please have a 'whooping, hollerin' gleeful downhill for me??
Tailwinds!
Mary

Glad to hear things are progressing, but sorry it's slowly
That sucks
Hopefully they'll release your bike soon. Any update on what the charges will be for the driver??

I'm glad you're healing so quickly! I know it seems slow to you, but it sounds like you're making huge strides.
I'm sure you'll have some fear geting back into riding, but think of all the miles you rode without incident. This crash was an anomaly, and it would have happened whether you were on the bike or not.
Have you started thinking about your next bike yet? I know you loved your bike, but there will be a new bike soon! What are you going to get? 5+2=

Thanks for updating and glad to hear that the healing is progressing . . . it never goes as fast as we would like, does it?
Take it easy, and I hope you get your bike back soon!

Hey M. Glad to hear you're slowly getting better. I'm not surprised about the concussions. I used to do an acupuncture treatment (when I was in Canada) for fatigue etc resulting from side inpact collisions. The treatment was called an energetic vital alignment and seemed to work really well for about half of the people I tried it on... You might want to think about an acupuncture.
Please keep coming with the updates.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

MMQFC: So glad that surgery won't be necessary... now it's just up to your body (and mind) to do the healing. Take it easy. You'll be back soon enough. I'll think of you on my downhill today. I'll even "woo--hoo" once or twice for you!
