A man watching a hockey game on TV kept switching channels to a dirty movie featuring a lusty couple. "I don't know whether to watch them or the game," he said to his wife.
"For heaven's sake, watch them," his wife said. "You already know how to play Hockey!"
Thank you KT...I was knocked down from the back by a DUI cager on my way to 7- to grab some pops for the boys at home. Before I knew it I found myself on the pavement, broken jaw...no lower palate teeth,forehead bleeding like a pig and a left side and arm that hurt like hell..to top it all off the Hospital did not detect the conccusion on the first go round..so I also ended up being totally depressed (In addition to the physical pain and healing I had to undergo) Almost 7 months to get really back on my feet...I am fine now and looking for a new Bike... Thank for asking and keep well
"Life is so hard, how can we be anything but kind? Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion." May all being live in harmony and may you live a happy, healthy, and peaceful life from this New Years onward!
It is good to see you back finally and I wish all the best if there is still recovery needed. My surgery was, compared to your ordeal, a much "nicer" thing. But I still suffer a bit the sequel. The doctor says it will last around 6 month before all is fine.
I wondered why your postings seemed somewhat sporadic. One thing I always keep as the rule of thumb while riding is, “Expect the unexpected.” - "I hope you have a speedy and complete recovery." - After all where else am I going to find the cartoons I need for my postings. - PS – Belated comment on your 7/11/2009 posting, I ‘totally’ agree. “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad world” is one of the best movies ever. It had over 76 appearances and cameos of well know actors.
The first day I ever wore a full-faced helmet was the day I went through the side window of an Austen Allegro.I'd only put it on because it was raining... Thanks for posting at my bit. Ride safe.
So sorry to hear bout your accident, I hope you will be soon completely recovered. Likewise happy 2010 to you and yours. Liked the joke as well.;) xo Zuzana
Thanks Peter...No I am back now for good, it sure took me a long time as my left side and left arm were banged up pretty badly...I hardly had energy left in me to do anything...I've read some of the blocks ome of the time...but did not have enough will power to reply...I followed your urgery details on your blog...and it eems like they done a good job...and now we start to dance again Cheers Peter

B.B. Thanks all's well now...it was pretty hellish but I'm good now...I might even publish some of the damage for you guy to see. I didn't talk about it before because most everyone was full swing into their riding season and the last thing you want is to scare anyone. MQ01 knew about it and has been very supportive to me via emails but I did ask her to keep it quiet because like I said I din't want to spoil anyone' riding season.
