Default Two weeks later....

As many of you know, I had a bike accident two weeks ago today. Broke my shoulder, cracked two ribs and got bruised up good bit. I am getting around pretty good now.
I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I am beginning to knit and released me to do whatever I can do. He said the pain will tell me what I can and can't do.
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes.

Hope you feel better.......count your blessings.......now count on some new mods or maybe a new bike. I had a bad hit back in the 70's and let it get to me and quit riding until 2 years ago. Now, I'm sorry I did that. I missed a lot of opportunities to have fun based on fear. So, hang in there. KB

Hey Shep,

I'm glad to hear you are on the mend.

Take care and enjoy those grandkids,

Primo

P.S. Even if you stick to the idea of giving up riding just know that you will always be welcome here.
