Hi Jaydee

I was just about to log off and suddenly noticed your thread.

Oh you poor thing, Christmas as well.

May you mend really quickly but it is so good to know you are with your parents, sounds like you will all be looking after each other.

Sending lots of hugs and good karma across the pond.

Please take care, Jaydee. I hope your wounds heal quickly.

Oh man.

So sorry that happened to you. But glad it wasn't worse - and that you've had friends and family to care for you when you needed it.

Hope you continue to heal quickly - that you're getting good physical therapy - and that the driver was cited appropriately!

Jaydee -
Hope you're feeling better. What a way to spend your Christmas. Recovering from a crash is never fun.

I am so sorry to hear of your crash.

The young man who hit you didn't panic and didn't leave? Good for him, good for his parents!

You chose roads public enough to have good support when you needed it? Awesome!

You had a friend you could rely on to get you home and tucked in? Excellent!

Your Dad is fit enough to travel and help you travel? You win!

I am so upset to hear that you crashed, and so relieved by all of these better-than-could-have-beens.

Please recover well and completely. Take time to heal. Get a good lawyer.

And when your PT team says you can, I hope the inspiration to ride stays with you.

Sorry to hear of your horrible crash.

I took a fall a few years ago and fractured by shoulder, not half as bad as what happened to you. I was in a sling for 6 weeks.

Although as much as it was scary I always planned on getting back on the bike. When my shoulder was better I began riding my mtn bike through my developement and eventually went on my road bike. Although my fall was caused by broken up road, it made me a more cautious rider.

I hope you heal quickly and that you eventually enjoy riding again, it may just be with a different frame of mind.
