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. :-) -- "No, I could sleep, but I must not; death is too near; he must not steal up on me.

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? Annie |

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. Diane "David Yehudah" wrote in message ... I could use a few purrs today. I ache all over from a traffic accident yesterday, and I'm feeling sorry for myself. |
