I am 85% healed. Some movements give me a very minor tinge of pain. I was sleeping in the recliner, a must for a number of nights. I can now sleep in the bed with no pain. I went to the driving range and hit a small bucket of balls, not well hit, but no pain. Golf is back on the schedule. I went to the gym 5 days this week. Used 1/2 to 2/3 normal weight. I didn't do any exercises that gave me pain. The more movements I do the better I feel. Sitting only stiffened me up and caused pain.
One of the advantages of crashing is you get all new stuff. New helmet has been delivered. New jacket, pants and gloves ordered.
The ST is totaled. I haven't discussed payment yet. Two years ago we gave Marcia's RT to our daughter. She isn't riding it so she is giving it back. It is being picked up today in Seattle and delivered to the local BMW dealer for service.
I have talked with many people about the crash and realize how lucky I was. Was it ATGATT, my physical condition or the fact that I didn't swerve, that my injuries weren't more severe. Probably all of the above and a lot of luck. The fact that I was slowing as I approached a town, helped. The one thing that I would do different is I would get checked out at a hospital.
This is not the last time a rider will hit a deer, but my advice is go ATGATT, don't swerve and get checked out at a hospital.
Thanks for the concern from members I know and don't know. It really means a lot.
