Hug your loved ones!!!
 
Yesterday my wife, Virginia, and I had a great 250 mile ride on our Harley's. Less than ten miles from home, a truck crossed three lanes of traffic right in her path. With absolutely no where to go, she broad-sided it doing 40 miles per hour. She suffered a broken leg and will be having surgery on Wednesday to have a titanium plate inserted in her leg. Although the procedure is fairly complicated and she has a long road of rehabilitation ahead of her, we feel very fortunate that her injuries were not more severe. We just had our 24th anniversary on Wednesday and I could have lost her in an instant. Don't take your loved ones for granted, life is full of surprises!!

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

The reason I gave up riding 10 years ago was so that my wife would never have to hear the news that some dipstick in a 4 wheeler pulled a move like that.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers and support. We are scheduled for surgery tomorrow at 1:00 and are hoping to come home on Saturday. I will post that all went well when we are done. Thank you again!!

Whew, was starting to worry until I read the part where your wife will be ok. But for the Grace of God, her Angel and probably yours, too, was with her. Prayers for you both, and for a speedy recovery.

I again wanted to thank everybody for their thoughts, prayers and concern. Virginia's surgery was on Wednesday and went very well. The doctor said the break was primarily two large pieces with minimal fragments and chips, and felt very good as to how everything went back together. She should be able to come home on Saturday and start the rehab process. Thanks again to everybody!

dhlaw 08-19-2005 11:58 AM

Re: Hug your loved ones!!!
 
Glad to hear it is going well!!! My best friend got ran off the road and almost killed this year... we have all started to ride less because of all the idiots on the road. It seems like it is less an issue of rider skill and more an issue of people just not watching for bikes. I have ridden all of my life, even had my Harleys parked in my campus housing at Stetson law school but its just getting crazy.

If you need any help with insurance issues or collecting the proceeds call me, I will hook an OSO brutha up!!! I gotta watch out for us you know....... especially CrashBAr!!!
