They're right 1 mile from home was all we were.Misty Pines Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987279242206006833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-24230121633053153102012-11-19T09:06:06.423-06:002012-11-19T09:06:06.423-06:00Kelly, wow.

I asked husband when my poker run was going to be, he just grained and shook his head.<br /><br />DFW, thank you.<br /><br />Barb, they think I will get I will get most of the sensation back. Spiders running along your skin turns out to be a good thing. However I mostly likely will end up with a "dead" spot. God to know on time.

If they are going to the feeling will come back, if not they never will.I know this from my husband's bicylce injuries. <br />The body is an amazing thing.Take care and keep at it!<br />Hugs<br />Barb in Canadabbarnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399421440007975826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-60508990874227060102012-11-19T08:38:52.094-06:002012-11-19T08:38:52.094-06:00So glad that you two are on the road to healing.

Yes,...It looks like you guys are lucky to be alive! Yes, you will walk unaided by Sept 2013! You have heart girl. I work in ICU and every summer we get at least 3 really bad bike accidents in. We had a couple from Wisconsin who laid down the bike rather than hit a kid on a bicycle. Kid is okay. Wife not so much. Some brain injury and she was wearing a helment. Lovely couple. Wish them the best. We had a fundraiser to help them get her back home for rehab. At least your noggin is intact. See, Im just a ray of sunshine. LOL.

This will be the last post about the wreck itself. I will update on my progress though.<br /><br />I think I have finally managed to mourn and work through the emotional trauma today.
