I figured I'd update our Nelson mishap here.

If you missed it we dumped the bike off of a shoulder in Nelson. Brain fart, bad timing, poor road etc, end result bumps and bruises and not much damage to the bike.

Cindy is virtually good as new as her road rash was mostly surface and healed quickly.

My left knee that was badly twisted is doing better, but I still am using the soft brace I got at Wally World. My right shin/foot/ankle are the most painful still. The discoloring from the bruising has moved all over my foot and is now starting to disappear finally.

I still hobble for the first few minutes after getting up in the morning or taking a long ride. It does seem to be getting better.

I have managed to play three rounds of golf in a week as the golf motion doesn't aggravate the injuries.

At any rate, thanks to all those that got us back on our feet and two wheels on the ground. Cindy's helmet had a decent scrape as well and again, like them or not it is a testament to helmets.

Very, very glad that Cindy was wearing the helmet, and I know you are thankful for that as well.

Thanks for the update and the good news!!

Rog,
Since I've been on the road so much, I hadn't read about your accident. I'm glad to hear you and Cindy are coming along well and no serious injuries to either of you.

Roger,
Of course, I was clueless about your mishap, but I must say that I am very happy to hear you and Cindy are mending nicely. We're keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers.

RJ749 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 27, 2007, 08:45:17 PM »

Thanks to everyone, we were fortunate as I said and each day comes a bit easier on my knee.

Thanks for the support.

Thanks Mark, missed you guys in Nelson this year.

We're heading over to our new house today for a round of golf so it's not all bad, the knee is better day to day and the right shin is not as bad as the other day. Now it barks at me but at least I can put my full weight on it when I hit the deck in the morning. Up until today I had to gradually apply more weight over the first 5 or ten minutes of the day.

I think it's pizzed at me and wants to continually remind me of my dumb chit attack in Nelson

I'm finally going to wash the bike today from the trip as the weather has gotten good enough to ride and I'm off work this weekend.

Good luck at the Brickyard

Candy, no debt owed, it was indeed our pleasure to be able to assist with what little we did. Hope your travel home was uneventful.

I imagine it seemed as though the bike and you were permanent fixtures together after it being home your home for a month. What a great adventure

Normal these days is in a constant state of flux for me Rog...depends on what part of me has been strained, bent, or bruised the day before...

Glad to hear you're able to get out and enjoy the day, regardless. A day outside is always better than a day spent in the office...

iski · « **Reply #28 on:** July 30, 2007, 02:07:11 PM »

Roger glad to hear that you and Cindy are healing nicely. Good thing about wearing a helmet - when you need it - its there.

Say, if you played golf with me, I would recommend you wear a helmet then as well. Nobody knows where my drive is going, least of all me.

Anyone who plays that 4-letter golf game can use another...mine are about all up...maybe we should start a thread for golf excuses...this past weekend I rented clubs just so I could have one...not really but that is my story and I am sticking with it.

Rog, glad to hear Cindy and you are well. Missed you when we came by Bellingham the other day. Figured you were out working hard but by some of the previous posts I'll assume you were out "exercising" the knee.

I didn't realize until too late you guys were coming back through town. I was out in eastern Washington I think, gardening.

Sorry to have missed seeing you.

Roger,
Sorry to be so far behind the 8-ball on this one, but glad to hear that you and Cindy are mending well. Fortune was with you with the helmets. I'm glad to see you chose to wear them. I choose to wear one because one saved my life many moons ago. Glad to hear that you're back in the wind and raring for another long ride.
Cheers

Red and Nidan, thanks, nearly back to "good as new" still a bit on and off with the left knee but better each day.

Mostly normal activity, have to get the strength back, Montana elk hunting in September and that just isn't very far off now.
