we only fall so we can learn how to get up - RIGHT???
a little reassurance, here, please. we start class tomorrow evening and get on the motorcycles on tuesday night. 
in the past week, our almost new bike has taken two dives. last tuesday i brought the bike to a total and complete stop successfully but didn't get my foot on the ground quickly enough. so i fell over. in front of my husband and all his neighborhood riding buds. DAMN. 
they all thought it was hilarious, once they knew i was ok.
on friday night my 19 yr old hit the throttle instead of the brake. she was only going about 5 miles an hour, but ran into her parked car in our driveway and flew over the front - superman style - landing on her face, forearms, chest and tummy. thankfully she had her helmet on. she's only a little banged up and will be ok once the bruises and road rash are gone. 
we were giving her crap about which insurance she should go to. motorcycle, auto, health, or homeowners because she ended up getting an ambulance ride to the hospital as well as a CT scan cause her tummy hurt. again, she'll be ok. but we're all slightly more tentative after that. seeing our eldest on the stretcher and then in the emergency room is a truly sobering sight. we had half a dozen police cars, a fire truck, and an ambulance here. GULP.
so today i got out on the motorcycle, went a mile or so, came back, rode on the bicycle. the motorcycle is way more comfortable, i just gotta take it really slow.
mon thru thurs i'm off work at 4:30 and in class from 5:30 - 9:30. wish us luck. i doubt i'll be writing before the end of the week, but will let y'all know what happens.
oh yeah - i also found out i need ANOTHER surgery. the problem i'm having with bm has become worse. i have a rectocele, which the proctologist tells me is a large hernia, on the wall between my vagina and my rectum. won't go away, won't get better, can't be fixed any way other than surgically. in june i'll be having a more complete look at my pelvic region to make sure that's all that's wrong. in july i'm gonna see a plastic surgeon, in the hope they can do a panni along with the butt fix, since i'm having horrible backaches again. but that's not gonna happen before the end of summer. on my 'laundry list' of physical complaints - the back ache is the next thing to attend to. 
sorry this is so long. guess i've been waiting to post for awhile now.
everybody have a great week. again, wish us luck.

Dorthe, Hi I hope you are doing better since your daughter's fall. I don't think they make enough cotton to soften the falls. I know you all are being careful, I will continue to pray all goes well at school and the driving gets easier. I understand you to say you will be needing more surgery, could it be that like me or most of us we take care of others before we take care of ourselves, take heart you will be back to your old self before you know it, then the excitment begins when you get the tummy tuck and butt fix you really want. Keep healthy...good luck on school and riding. God bless deb k
