I had a similar wreck at a different place on the path... wheel went off the edge and I tried to correct. It's all making me think that the thing to do if you go off the path is to either steer away from the path and then try to come back on perpendicular, or to just stop. Whether or not I would be able to remember that in the "heat of the moment" is another question.<br /><br />Anyhow, thanks for your healing thoughts.EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-57093653936874441082013-04-03T07:04:34.601-06:002013-04-03T07:04:34.601-06:00Yikes, I thought this tale would end after your fa...Yikes, I thought this tale would end after your fall (I had three low-speed or not moving at all falls after first getting clipless pedals and shoes), which would have been quite enough!

Talk about a slap in the face from the universe!<br /><br />I've gotta say, more and more I'm finding interactions with automobiles to be a somewhat harrowing experience. A few years back I got hit on my bike by a woman who saw me, waved me on, then got distracted and hit me anyway!<br /><br />I don't know if people are just too distracted, or if there are just more people on the roads or what, but it seems like every day lately, the news has a story of a biker or pedestrian being hit.<br /><br />Anyhow, I'm glad you're feeling better, and hopefully CatMan will be able to get back in the saddle again. At the moment he can't get across the room without the aid of a walker though, so I have a feeling it might be a while!<br /><br />Take care and thanks for the visit!<br />xoxoxo,<br />CatEcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-30218127712592761702013-03-18T12:24:17.536-06:002013-03-18T12:24:17.536-06:00Hi Cat,

In the words of my physical therapist, "Ya' gotta get back on the horse!"<br /><br />Thanks for your well-wishes over at Demandra's blog. Karma wasn't on my side this past fall either. The day before I was to go in for a consult with a surgeon (for benign issues) I was struck by a car in a lighted crosswalk (crossing with the signal) while out for a run. Of course, the reason I was out there in the first place was to try to cheer and toughen myself up for what I knew was coming the next day. Nothing broken, though, just bruises which healed. Went ahead with surgery as planned. Going for PT helped me physically, but also helped me get my head together and motivate me after both.<br /><br />So, here's to getting back on the horse -<br />JaneenJaneennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-10742583313485081662013-03-17T09:59:21.039-06:002013-03-17T09:59:21.039-06:00He's hoping he'll be able to, but I think ...He's hoping he'll be able to, but I think we're just gonna have to wait and see.

I suppose at some point he'll get tired enough that it won't matter, but it's horrible to think of him being in so much pain.

He said he's feeling a tiny bit better today... but he wasn't sure if it was that he was figuring out how he can and can't move or it's just the drugs!
