Take it easy--that's the only advice I can give. It took me a long time to
recover from hip replacement, though I think the time may have been
stretched by the trauma, and I had no head injuries and only minor other
fractures. Take it easy, enjoy life as much as you can, and contemplate a
David,
Don't rush it. Take it easy, and know that all of the easy-taking is exactly
what should happen. Work can wait! (5 years ago I had a minor concussion and
needed 3 weeks when I initially thought I only needed one or less.)
Rest well!

Thanks, Andy. One day at a time. While in the hospital I was busting to get
out. I have a vague memory of telling my boss I was ready to get back to
work right away. Now that I am home, I am realizing how long this is going
to take and, frankly, happy for the extra time to recuperate and reflect.
David:
How goes the recovery? Hope you're doing better...

Wow. Just wow. I am so very glad that you are still alive. I would guess
that more times than not, an accident like you describe would be fatal to

There's nothing I can say about this motorist that would not violate the
spirit of this email list.
Wow. That person is not good. Deep breath. In. Out. Slow. Nice of them to go
around you after they slid you off the hood?
I'm really glad you're recovering, and that your morale is so good!

It's sounding pretty positive for that happening from what you shared.
I hope your pain during recovery is minimal.
I expect most if us think about something like this could happen to us.
Riding defensively is on my mind a lot
Hope you recover quickly and are back riding again soon. Glad to see you
have the positive attitude to be planning how to also restore your bike so
it's ready when you are.

I got HR'd in the CAR and I followed the person to their place of
residence. When I called 911 the police asked if anyone was injured and I
said NO, they then proceeded to tell me that all units in my sector were

I was riding to work early on last Friday morning. My usual route. Nothing

That's truly horrible; both your experience in being hit and the bad
actor's behavior after the collision. I expect that (assuming the driver
was insured) there should be no problems in your being fully compensated to
the limit of his policy--but I do not know the company or the locale, so
So sorry to hear of your accident, David. What a horrible experience.
Glad to hear you have such strong support and that you are focusing so
strongly on the positives. Wishing you quick and complete healing.

Yikes! Get better than ever, fast. That's a brutal bend for both you and your
lovely bike. Bilinky is certainly capable, but nobody's mentioned the skilled
hands and torch of Johnny at johnnycoast.com
He's in Brooklyn and worth traveling for.

I notice you did not list any head injuries. Were you wearing a

Your injuries sound serious. I wish you the best and pray you heal

Did you escape injury?
Certainly, file a police report -- not only for your own benefit, but as a
civic duty. Also -- I used to sell insurance -- inform your own auto
insurance company and agent. UIM should cover your losses if you can't find
the OP's insurance information.

Yikes! Threads like this freak me out, i've been off the bike most of the
winter (training for something else), and i'm a little worried about my
