    Oh my! I am so glad you were not injured worse than you were and so sorry that you have to deal with the insurance issues - I hope you are able to resolve this soon so that stress can be removed.

    Oh my gosh. How terrifying. I'm glad you're mostly okay and I hope your rehab goes well. Hopefully, the provider (not sure if the helicopter is a service of the hospital or seperate entity) will be willing to negotiate with you. Thanks for bringing the issue to our attention. I can't say that I've ever thought about what would happen if I needed a helicopter, be it from a bike or car accident. But now that I live outside the Indianapolis metro area, that is something to think about.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Glad you're healing featurile. That is scary.

    And that helicoper airlift bill-- shocking. Let us know of outcome.

    First of all I'm glad that you are healing fine and sharing your experience with us here, TODAY. A big hug from me!!

    I'll echo what others said here, you should get a lawyer with accident/injury experience to help you with this and to negotiate the bill with the helicopter company. Hopefully he won't charge you more than what you owe to the helicopter company . I do really hate the "get a lawyer" route but, what can you do? Oh, also thanks for the helicopter service heads up. I live in Orange County FL and I will search for this service and how it works here.

    This is funny (not funny like ha ha) but yesterday when we were driving back home through the Florida I-4 route, I saw hundreds of billboards of lawyers offering the: Did you have an Accident? Are you Injured? service and I was so tired of the billboards that I told my husband that if I see one more I was going to throw up. And look at me today, advising to you to look for one. Ironic...
