What a great story! I hope your brother is ok.

Biciclista - I would love to be able to play double bass. It's such an expensive instrument. Lucky you, getting one from a wanted ad!

I will take pictures this weekend.

My brother is doing better, we didn't know if he was going to make it when it happened. He broke 3 vertebrae in his neck. He was in a drug induced coma for 9 days, and then they did surgery on his neck. The surgery was a success and he can move his arms and his legs. He was in a drug induced coma for 1 week after the surgery, then they brought him out of it. He woke up 2 days after that. He has been transferred out of ICU and is recovering in the hospital where he will be for approx 10 months. He will be doing LOTS of physical therapy. It was horrible because my dad and I are here in the US, and he was in Germany. The language barriers with the hospital and the time difference made it difficult to get info. His wife is there with him and my dad and I will be going over soon. Thanks for asking!

My word, your poor brother. You and your family must be having such a hard time of it, it is hard enough getting information out of hospitals without the language and time differences. I hope that he makes a full and steady recovery. In the meantime I'm sure that your new bike will provide an excellent and much needed diversion.

Here she is! I'm going to have the tape changed. I don't like the dingy white. Other than that, she's a beauty!
