Hey everyone! Thanks so very much for your concern and comments! It is all appreciated and all helps.

Except for my ankle, I am pretty well healed. The ankle is still swollen and I will probably end up going to my family doctor this week just to have it checked. Can't hurt......

Still am not sure about the bike. I will have to pester my friendly LBS owner to get moving on it! The worst thing about the bike is that it was not my bike! It was a borrowed bike that I used because I don't have a touring bike. The only possibility of insurance coverage would be homeowners and it would have to be the owner's homeowners. She hasn't checked into it yet. Fortunately, she is a GOOD friend and was much more concerned about me than the bike. She never rode the bike which was why she could loan it to me. IF the frame is still aligned, I plan on replacing rims, pedals, and getting it into riding shape again.

I've talked to the police officer in Fort Dodge three times since the accident. No news. He says they've followed all the leads they've gotten.......... Checked into Victims Comp. That would only cover me, not the bike. And my medical ins. will cover all those bills. Still thinking about doing something for pain, suffering, loss of work time, etc.

Mentally, I am okay, just a little more leery of traffic, but I've been out riding quite a bit. Not at night yet, but that will come. I NEED to ride my bike. It is my therapy, my exercise, a large part of the joy in my life. I simply could not let fear interfere with that! So I am out there (and will be soon!)

Thanks again for all the support. You are a wonderful group of women. I think of you as friends!
