Starting to feel human again...

[AndreRA3]

Hey good people!

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm starting to feel human again... It has now been 10 hours since I last took a happy pill, which is one hell of an improvement. Of course, I can now feel every little movement of my spine (and I just sneezed, which hurts like hell), but it's nice to feel sober again!

Anyway, I just told Gus I was feeling a bit better and he told me to tell ya'll. Sounds fair to me. [thumbsup]

On a serious note: Glad you're feeling better.

Andre,

Glad to hear you are feeling better. [thumbsup] Are you beginning to bond with your back brace? Hope you are sleeping better, nothing like a good nights sleep on a regular basis to help you feel semi normal. What happened to your bike? Is it repairable?

Look forward to seeing you at a DML lunch soon. [thumbsup] Drag that long lost brother of yours with you!! ;D

Thanks everyone!

I'm not too sure about that back brace... It was probably made for dwarfs (or elderly women, who, it seems, make up the bulk of the compression fracture demographic). Tuesday I'll go back to the doctor, and I might get fitted for a custom brace, if I still need one at all.

Surprisingly, I'm walking up and down the house, becoming increasingly independent, and getting bored to tears. And, I'm told, showing my cranky side every now and then. I guess happy pills did have their bright side after all. Their down side was making me feel incredibly tired all the time, not up for anything.

I don't know what I'll do with the bike. The subframe is bent, and I think the headlight bracket might be too. The fairing is busted, as is the tail section. I don't know how the forks are. Everything else seems fine. The question now is: "Do I sell it like it is for a grand or so, or do I spend the money on a mechanical inspection and susbsequent repairs (at least a grand, more depending on the prognosis) and sell it for 3 grand or so?" Insurance is useless, thanks to their "racetrack clause". At least I read the contract before deciding whether or not to call them.

I'm looking forward to being able to get out of the house, then I'll see if I can't make it to a DML lunch [thumbsup]

Glad to know that I am in the same demographic as elderly women... it explains a lot about my riding ability.
