Well. To say that I am taken aback by your post would be an understatement. Your comments suggest that you don't yet have a full understanding of what this forum...and these people...are about. We do not discuss crashes/ensuing injuries "in private" here. They affect all of us, as it can happen to any one of us. We all care deeply for one another and never hesitate to offer support/help/friendship to a fellow rider who has gone down and are thankful that he/she survived to tell the tale.
If you don't ride yourself, or have never gone down in a crash, maybe this is all new to you. If you do ride, or have gone down, I frankly have no explanation for why you would make such insensitive remarks. In any case, I'm sorry you feel that way; if this thread offends or bores you, please, by all means, ignore it.

I'll go out on a limb here:
I'm guessing the untoward comments made here were more of a mistake on the posters part than anything. It's not that I am taking sides or wouldn't defend Patty to the Nth degree but I can't imagine someone having an attitude, in real life, like the post projects.
Anyway, all we have to do is keep an eye out for further posts from this person. If they get too cantankerous we'll get Joe or Blrfl to whip up a batch of delete! That oughta really get his goat!
Patty, you take now, ya heer!

I am indeed! I should be right as rain by August...and I can't possibly miss the barn dance and threshing the weekend before the wedding!
Great stuff,I had a 'getoff' as ye say over there about 25 years ago so i know how it feels,I was lying on the road and was more worried about my bike which was bent round a tree!!
thank God I had a full face helmet on,I went up the road face first.
You have a long time yet till August to heal,how is your bike?

Mostly cosmetic - it's all fixable. The engine's fine, fuel injection system is fine...it's mostly mirrors, handlebars, foot peg, side cases and brackets, topbox...nothing horrendous. The bike chose a soft place to land...ME! Lol.
Patty, You are taking your happy pills about 1/2 hour before changing the burn dressing ? This also applies to anything else that produces higher pain levels like Physical Therapy. Sometimes the Medical Folks don't realize the details are important too. I want to keep the hope alive that one day I will get to ride with the one and only Peppermint Patty ! Heel well. Jim

Aw, Jim...That's awesome. Yes, I'm being VERY careful not to let the pain get ahead of the meds (thanks, Papa, for that tidbit of advice). I'm doing well and the pain is well managed at this point. The burn doesn't even actually "hurt;" right now it itches like heck, but that's a good sign...means it's healing. I just saw my doc yesterday and have follow-ups at my local walk-in clinic, and everybody says the burn is doing well.
Hope to ride with you too, friend!
Patty
Thats good,not to worry bout the bike anyway,it is replaceable,you aren't.
Take care and get well soon,you never know might see you in August,Dia duit
