Today is a good day

[Rally Monkey]

Today is a good day. After 3 days on life support and in an induced coma, 2 days in intensive care, 5 days in med surg recovery, 5 weeks in the traumatic brain injury recovery unit, 1 year on disability, 714 days after the crash, $1.2 million in medical bills, my wife Susan rode a bike today.

714 days of wondering will she ever get to do her favorite pastime again have been answered with a resounding YES!

Today is good, hope you all are having a day like mine.

Upon reading your post Don, I hopped on my bike, said a few words for Susan, and savored a particularly spectacular ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway this evening. Splendid news. Please give her my regards.

That sounds like 8 of 9 lives may have been exhausted. You think maybe she should take up something a little safer, like competitive basket weaving or something? You live in Cali, right? Spend enough time on the road on a bike here and your odds of injury go up to something like, I don't know ... juggling loaded handguns or something.

Congrats to both of you, especially her. I can't imagine what kind of a climb up that was.

Congrats .. I was with Whirls on this on as I had NO idea where this was going. I have been wanting a bike but the wife is REALLY against em .. plus we dont have the money right now anyways. CONGRATS TO YALL

Thanks all!

Your comments warm this old fart's heart.

Swanny you are right, 8 of 9 lives have been exhausted I lol'd at that.

Actually we ride on paved bike trails so usually (insert irony here) the ride is safe. Many trails are between 10 - 30 miles long and there are a lot of them so there is little danger of being hit by a car. Her accident was the result of hitting a bump on one of these trails at high speed (insert more irony here). Slowing down a bit will help to insure that the possibility of crashing like this again wont happen. Of course there are no guarantees...
