Going off for a bit - with a poorly arm!!!

[lynnestankard]

Not pet related folks.

Well we had a wonderful week-end out on the bike and camping. Weather was soooo good and a really good time was had by all.
Then yesterday on our way home - we had a smash with a car and of course we came off worse. The bike fell on top of me - and anybody out there who knows Goldwings knows how heavy they are!! I was in a lot of pain but the ambulance arrived within minutes and they got me into hospital.
I've ended up (very luckily) with a badly broken arm - right at the top, just below the shoulder, no cast, just a collar and cuff, a badly swollen foot - but not broken and some fractured ribs. Today I fell like I've gone 5 rounds with Mike Tyson.
I'll have to bow out for some time - this is just to difficult to do. I'll be back as soon as I'm feeling better.

Bye for now everyone - speak to you soon.

Lynne! How horrible! Glad to hear that you walked away relatively OK.

Drake, Andrew, and I went camping and moutain biking this past weekend. We had tons of fun. The trails on Bull Mountian (on the Applachian Trail) are awesome. I fell off my bike only twice, but am not harmed.

We will miss you. Take care of yourself and get back to Pet Talk soon!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Will you at least be able to read Pettalk?

Oh Lynne, I'm so sorry to hear that! Glad you are more or less okay. Bummer about the hand, but here's hoping that it will heal VERY soon!

Lots of hugs Lynne, and we'll miss ya for sure!

Take good care!

Ouch!

Heal quickly and feel better soon!

[jennifert]

Oh Lynne, that is terrible!! I'm sorry about your accident but grateful that you weren't more seriously injured!! Bike and car accidents can be so dangerous. I have a million questions but will hold off until you feel better!

Get well soon! Rest, relax and maybe use the one finger method to check in and read some posts...?


Hope to hear from you soon!

[Randi]

Lynne, I'm so sorry to hear that you have been involved in an accident. Hope you're not in pain and that you'll have a speedy recovery!!

Wishing you all the best! We'll miss you!! Come back when you're fit again!

[zippy-kat]

Oh Lynne--sooooo sorry for your accident!

Please heal quickly!! Check in when you can.

We'll be thinking of you!

Glad you are going to be okay. Are we talking goldwing motorcycle? Keep us posted when you can.

[anna_66]

Wow Lynne, I know how bad accidents on motorcycles can be. Luckily you were on a very big bike (I'm guessing if it's a goldwing). Did it take the blunt of the accident? Sounds like it did. I'm glad you just ended up with a broken arm and not something worse. Take care, get lots of rest and check in whenever you can!

thanks all my lovely friends.

sara - yep i'll be popping in now and then to keep up with the threads.
randi - when the pain killers kick in i think i'll be feeling much better.
sammi - yes a goldwing 1500.
anna-66 - yes we took it all - and they thought i was much worse - but i figure i was very lucky to get away with only a few injuries.

Dons hurt his ribs as well - we make a right old pair! everyone reckons we should grow up!

i'll be around reading - but this typing us such a bummer with one finger!

love lynne

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Gosh, Lynne, you and Zippy Kat will need to form a club for people with bent wings. I'm glad you'll be able to at least read the posts and see what everyone is up to. You get lots of rest and heal fast. OK?

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Man I am so sorry to hear that news!!!! So glad though that you only have one broken bone.... could be better though huh?!?!? We will miss you... wishing you a speedy recovery!! Tinky and Jupiter send some kitty kisses and headbumpies for your hurt arm to help it heal

[Cincy'sMom]

OUCH!!!

Hope you feel better soon! Ralph wants a bike and that is the one reason I am not sure...not him, but the other drivers not being aware of bike on the road.

Sorry to hear about your mishap with the bike. I am an expert with bike crashes. They can set you back for a time, but if you love the sport, you won't be out of commission for long. I would go into all my bike crashes (all 10), but this page would be too long. I still ride, I am just a little more careful.
