Default my riding partner is down ( update )

my best friend and riding partner my wife is down for the count , we recently sold her bike because it hurt her to much to ride it and she decided to just ride two up with me , lately she has been reduced to using a walker and wheel chair and in the morning they are going to fuse 4 disc in her back. the doc says more than likely she wont be able to ride until next summer . she truely loved riding and dont care what kind of bike it is just that it has two wheels and a motor , so how about some positive thoughts for her in the morning . it would be deeply appreciated
thanks jeff

We will say a prayer for her at my Women in the Wind meeting tonight( ladies riding club) and please give her best wishes for success and a loss of the terrible pain is she is enduring right now.

Just tell her to take the time given to really recoop. It will pass before you know it. Hopefully, with some therapy, she'll be rockin' by this time next year. We'll be praynin' and waitin'!

My thoughts and prayers will be for you and your wife--There will be many riding seasons ahead for her after she gets well! Ya mentioned 2 wheels and a motor--well tease her and tell her your going to start her out slow (before riding season next year) on a motorized wheel chair--Tell her she's gonna have to win a few wheel chair races before she gets back on that Harley!
