Default Still down from when I went down...

Recap... Hit by Cadillac in June. Surgery after that. Start physical therapy today.

One of the things I had to have done was my bicep needed to be reattached. But it doesn't look like it is going to hold and the doctor said there isn't enough of the tendon left to do the procedure again. So say hello to Mr. Popeye Arm!

The real reason I started this thread was...

I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

And nothing makes us happier than being out in the wind while keeping the shiny up so ride on, brothers and sisters. Ride on.

No that there's anything wrong with Cadillacs but, I went down this year almost getting t boned by a Escalade in the city. Sorry to hear about your fall and I hope your recovery time is quick.

Merry Christmas to you!

I got hit by a Cadillac on my mountain bike. They had to back up off my bike so I could get it out from under the wheel. I was doing probably 20 mph. Man I was layed up for a while after that one! Anyway merry Christmas and hope you have a better New Year.
