Birthday roundup
I had a very nice birthday dinner at Gotham last night — Very shwanky, Jer! 
It was a very nice evening after a so-so day. Not that it didn’t start off really nicely with a warm birthday wish and a kiss good-morning, but it went sideways for a while after that.
I made the mistake of going to the doctor first thing yesterday morning only to learn that my healing isn’t going as well as I hoped. It was very disheartening to hear that my roadrash will need abrasion to remove some dead/black skin… And that the injury will definitely leave a serious scar. Blech. At least I got my depo shot, so I won’t be so emotional about all of this in a few days time.
Then, as if I hadn’t heard enough crappy news, I called the guy fixing my bike to learn that the whole front end, amung other things, needs replacing. All I can say is *fuck*. I don’t understand how dropping my bike could cause such serious damage to the front end??? The repair cost once the labour is included is pretty extensive. Not happy news.
But, the dinner was great, and my birthday present from Jer was my traffic safety course, which I will definitely want to take before doing any further riding on my bike. That was a very generous, thoughtful gift…
My only birthday wish this year is to have my leg functioning normally again without the pain and discomfort that has really slowed my life to a standstill. I’m hoping that this will come true next week.

Right, yes… Determined.
remember, you’re “determined”
Btw, if you’re up to it… (and I totally understand if you don’t want to) I’d be interested in hearing the full nitty gritty as to what happened? I’m always eager to learn from other peoples accidents. Keeps me out of the rhubarb…

Scars are good! Show ‘em off. Any accident that you walk away from (eventually) is a blessing.
Hey T, I hope all your Birthday wishes come true. Ouch…. Anyway, Happy B-day and all that other stuff.
