What wonderful news!

I'll never forget my first ride after fracturing my pelvis in a cycling accident and being laid up for several months. I was back on the bike three months later, very wobbly, slow, and nervous, but I did it. I was so damn proud, and you should be too. Congratulations! May you have many more safe and wonderful rides!

invsblwmn, welcome back to the road. Your determination, bravery, strength, and patience is admirable.

Well Ladies,
It was a year last Friday since the accident. I get to ride everyday now, usually only about 40 minutes but I get to sweat and to get a breeze going at 35MPH. Who would have thought so much could change in one little year? I will never forget the support from this group. Understand that every little "butterfly, hug, hang in there" gave me the push to do what I needed to do. We are resiliant little creatures, eh?

Still working on the injuries, little stuff though, like an epidural and a tens unit with still a bunch of meds. Love the new house. Still single and actually ok with it. Friends are everywhere. Family and I feel closer than ever. The cats are living large. The Catrike is my favorite car and I am ALIVE!!!! Not just breathing, but really alive! Thank you for all of your support in the last year. I am so grateful for you guys! Dawn

This is a fantastic message to read. Thanks and keep it going!

[sbctwin]

You provide such a positive message to all of us. Best wishes for your continued recovery...

[Mr. Bloom]

Welcome back to the game! You're awesome!

[LBTC]

Dawn, thank you for such a wonderful update! As others have said, you are an inspiration! So if any of these butterflies I keep sending are more than you need, just pass them along. They get more powerful that way!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

ps - are you getting the pictures? your email seems to be bouncing them back to me....

[Biciclista]

Dawn, you are truly an inspiration to all of us; but especially me.

[jesvetmed]

Dawn.. you sound so wonderfully positive. That is an inspiration to us all. Keep up the great attitude, and "hang in there". Congrats on getting the 40 minutes a day in. Many don't, and cannot even imagine the appreciation of being able to do so. You are amazing!

I saw the "Invisiblwmn in hospital!" header on the screen and thought, "Oh no! Not again! Poor Dawn!" What a relief when I realized it was a follow-up report about great progress In fact, you're getting in more time-in-the-saddle than I am Way to go, Dawn!! Keep on riding ahead; the rest of us will just have to try to keep up with you.
