I stopped by to see Francie tonight and woke her up (her DH said to - that she'd be sorry to have missed the company). She is really doing so much better - it was great to talk with her. She has no memory of the accident, or of the ride we were on, for that matter. I filled her in on what happened - she's a little worried about being afraid to ride again, but also asked how many miles we had gone before she fell so she could be sure to update her miles on Bike Journal! We joked a bit about this and that, but laughing is a little painful now, so I said we should talk about politics instead! She's in some pain, but the good folks at the hospital can take care of that for her. She is getting great care.
She was really mad about the EMT people cutting her cycling pants, jersey, and especially jacket off - she said "That jacket was really expensive!"
Tomorrow I'll go by with a printout of your messages (and the ones from BJ as well) - I told her the posts were pouring in and it really meant a lot to her.
So thanks everyone!
