Brandi -
Thanks for asking! I'm fine today, although I still have a bruise (blue surrounding red, but it's just visual and doesn't hurt!) on my face that I suspect will be with me forever. I was back on my bike 6 weeks after the accident (much to my doctor's chagrin!) and it took me the rest of 2004 to work back into what I would call normal shape (for riding, that is). I consider myself to be really lucky - and I do not think I would have survived the crash if I hadn't been wearing my helmet. Just curious - did you see the short story of the crash on www.denisegoldberg.com or did you see my journal at http://denise2004crash.crazyguyonabike.com?

Anyway, I was back to touring last year (after missing 2004!) with a short trip in Maine in June and a week+ wandering in PEI in September. I'm still trying to figure out where I'll be wandering on my bike this year.
