    Thank Goodness

    I am so glad to hear that you are doing better. I have been worried all weekend about you. It is always upsetting to see a fellow rider take a spill and even more so, to see you wisked away in an ambulance. I have been praying for a speedy and full recovery for you - and put you on the prayer list at my church. You are one sharp gal - you had proper ID on you, including your health card. And you had a good helmet to protect that precious head. I hope to see you again on the road. Take care and best wishes. Bekki

    What all the shes above said! May you heal fast and be on your bike again soon!

    Helga will have several experienced helpers here as we urge her back on her bike. We could also deluge her DH with requests for really nice clothing replacements!

    You guys are great! I told her that there were postings pouring in, and I would print them out for her, but I joked that I was worried she would start to get a swell head, and she joked back "I already HAVE a swollen head!" So with Francie, once the jokes get going, we know she's on the mend!

    I think it will be a while before she's back on the bike - her pelvis is cracked or fractured - so I bet sitting on a bike will not be any fun for a while. But she's already talking about wanting to be able to ride again.

    I'll post more details about what I saw of the accident on the other Cindy ride thread...

    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

    I love your spirit Helga! No worries about the next ride at this point, it will happen when it is time and you will once again be logging those miles! Stay strong and mend quickly!

    adding my thoughts and well-wishes to everyone elses! Any update today on Helgas condition?
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    I'm so glad to hear she is on the mend!! I hope she gets home soon where she can probably get more rest (those nurses, though wonderful, can be pesky when it comes to interrupting sleep!).

    I'm sure we shall see her back on the road when she feels strong and ready!

    Take care,
    Ellen

    OMG!! How scary for all of you! For Helga of course, her DH and family and for all of you who were riding with her... I can't even imagine how terrifying this must have been for all of you... my thoughts are with ALL OF YOU!!! It sens a chill down my spine to even imagine this...

    SO glad to hear that Helga was wearing a helmet and is recovering so well! what great, great news... thanks for all the updates... it's wonderful to be able to read thru the posts and see that she is getting progressively better!!! add my thoughts and well wishes too!
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    I am so sorry to hear another woman going down while riding. So sorry you have to go through this. We are all pulling for you to have a speedy and easy recovery. May you be well and back on your bike in good time.

    Blessings for a return to health and well being.
