Default Accident Up-Date

Just wanted to post some good news. As some of you may remember, my wife got hit on her bike a while back. (rearended at 35mph at a stop sign)Totaled the bike and ruptured a disk. She tried physical therapy for a while to avoid surgery and about 3 weeks ago the doctor told her it was as good as it was going to get. So we opted for the surgery as she was still in pretty bad pain. It has been 2 weeks and the doctor told her today that she could take off the soft collar and drive again. She is a very happy young lady and her neck is feeling great. She still can't work and I don't believe she would have any customers to go back to if she could. She is a hair dresser and after 5 months of being out, alot of them have moved on. She goes back in another 3 weeks and then will start more physical therapy to strengthen her muscles back up.

It is still to early to talk about her riding again but that day will come when the time is right. We are very blessed that she is even here. Thankyou for all the prayers that were sent. It has been a rough time but all is good.

Ride safe and thanks again.

Thats great news!!! She'll build her customer base backup again if she decides to go back to it. Tell her keep at that physical therapy and keep getting better.

Take care Bill
