After getting PMs from Oakleaf and Redrhodie I realized I had not kept you all updated!

I ended up going to another doctor for a second opinion and I am glad that I did. He said there was a hematoma (very common) on the CT taken at the ER and had some concerns about blood clots so he increased my aspirin dosage. He also encouraged me to get back to work so that I was up and moving. Very different from the 2 weeks bed rest I was prescribed by the other doctor.

So I suffered through the first week at work and crashed the moment I came home every day. Pain meds helped quite a bit. I am not one to take drugs but I admit I am relying on them quite a bit.

I hired an attorney that is a regular at the bike shop and he is great. He has contacted the dog owner and asked for their insurance info. An insurance adjuster contacted him just today so they are aware that I will be making a claim. I like this guy cause we are on the same page that I just want my expenses covered and I am not looking to profit from this.

However, BF has ridden by the farm on a few occasions since the accident and they have made no attempt to keep the gate closed that he could tell. He saw the dog one time but he was with some farm hands and showed no interest in him. BF is outraged at the owners reaction and lack of common decency. She even had the nerve to tell someone they both know "I guess your friend is suing me."

I had a check up today and new xrays show some healing but I am still on the crutches for at least 2 more weeks with BF driving me everywhere. My range of motion has increased quite a bit but I have one sleeping position. That means I wake up after a few hours with horrible back pain and no way to shift and relieve it. Acupuncture is helping but it just a slow process as the bone heals.

Thanks to everyone here that has been thinking of me. It really means a lot.

I cant wait to get my life back and get back on my bike!
