Thank you girls for your kind words. I have my road bike here in the house as always and just keep looking at her.

Denise, I am going back to read the end of your accident blog. I am sure you will have positive info for me read. If I keep reading about postive things it will get drilled into my head and knock the bad thoughts out.

Which brings me to Emily. As fast as not riding enters my head, I know in my heart of hearts that it won't be the case. I just naturally talk about new routes to ride and bought myself some new gloves, glasses (my others got scratched from my fall) and knee warmers. But, I will follow in your exact foot steps. I think by next week I will replace my exercise bike with the mtn bike on the trainer, then when I can reach the handle bars my road bike will be there. Outside, I will ride my mtn bike for a while. I was planning on putting smooth tires on it any way to use a a commuter bike as we don't seem to be doing too much off road anyway and I don't relly feel like doing that now any way. I told my husband in the car today that it is very normal for me to be nervous when I get back on the road. He knew this was going to happen. I mention you and Denise quite often to him.

I had my first pt appt yesterday and I am going again tomorrow. He said I am extremely tight and I had to breath deeply through his gentle pulling of my arm. I am trying not to wear the sling because my shoulder is tilted down and my elbow is still crooked. He did say it will take time, but I will be back to normal in a few weeks he believes. And yes, I do and will do my exercises religously.

Thank you again Ladies. Until my next report of progress....

JoAnn
