Default Purrs needed

I could use a few purrs today. I ache all over from a traffic accident
yesterday, and I'm feeling sorry for myself.

There is a stop sign in a residential area near downtown that should be
a four-way stop but isn't. I stopped, gave a casual glance both ways,
started across the street, and slammed right into a Honda Civic. My head
went through the passenger-side window, my elbow went halfway through
the door, my knee went about an inch into my gas tank, and my handlebars
got twisted crossways. Luckily neither of us was going very fast. We
exchanged information and went on our ways. I didn't realize how . .
..um, exciting it can be herding a big motorcycle down the freeway at 70
with one handlebar almost poking me in the ribs and the other so far out
I could barely reach it. But I made it home okay.

Today my neck is stiff and sore, one ankle hurts, and a dozen cases of
road rash are all smarting and vying for attention as to what hurts
worst where.

Sam and Spirit seem to sense all is not well and are doing their best to
cheer me up. Mac, Toby, and Chuckles all want to play, but for some
reason I'm hardly in the mood for it. :-)

Purrs on the way. Thankfully it wasn't any worse, since when you're on
a bike even a Civic wins the "Right of Weight" rule.

Dave,
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I can't believe you went through all
that and your only complaint is aches and pains. I'd expect you to be in
the hospital. Did you check in with a doctor to make sure you don't have any
hidden injuries?

David,

Hope you feel better soon. It sucks to have been in an accident. I'm glad
it wasn't worse.

Surely all the critters will help you cheer up.
