Of course it was a bike accident(last one, I broke my thumb) lots of grief from work-she's off again! I just tell people "I was riding down a hill really fast & having fun" & smile & tell them it's areally bad break,I had surgery-screws-plate-& am off work for 3 months & can hardly wait to walk again.I think the scooter diffuses alot of the bike safety lecture momentum though. If people go off on that, I share that statistically, riding horses is far more risky-even riskier than hang gliding! And I tell them that the corner where I crashed on an isolated rural Hwy is SO notorious that when I told the ambulance I was amazed that they found me they said "oh,we knew exactly where you'ld be-this is where everyone crashes" (it's a steep S curve & the first curve is horribly off camber which I didn't notice 'til it was too late). I also tell everyone that I'm incredibly lucky that I didn't break my hip or worse, that I had time to choose crash uphill or downhill(I picked uphill). It is different when you have been someone else's "victim"'in a bike accident, both emotionally & how you are able to present the situation to others. Plays out better because I can start out by saying "I was really having fun". Telling my bike injuries caused by others will usu have the cautionary negative feedback you are getting. I have to admit that this time after a few "lectures" I began dreaming up alternative versions of my injury that would entertain me & cut down on neg feedback. Truly, when you are injured due to someone else's fault, both the physical & emotional suffering are worse. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
