SORRY. SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO LEAD RIDE THURSDAY.
SPRING-BREAKER ON PATH MOVED OUT IN FRONT OF ME TONIGHT AND KNOCKED ME OFF BIKE. BROKEN RIGHT WRIST. CANNOT BIKE. CANNOT DRIVE. CANNOT DO MUCH OF ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. WORKING ON ARRANGING FOR MY SON TO COME PACK UP MY STUFF AND DRIVE ME TO ATLANTA.
THIS ONE FINGER TYPING IS A PAIN
SEE YOU ALL NEXT WINTER. :)
(P.S. LET ME AMEND THAT...DROVE BACK TO EMERGENCY AT SACRED HEART AT 3AM...THEY HAD TO ADJUST SPLINT...SO I GUESS WE KNOW I CAN DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE! :))

Barb, sorry about the wrist, call on us if you need a hand before your son can arrive to assist you. Would you still like to attend the Wednesday meeting? Patty and I are going and would take you with us. I'll call later and check with you. Chris & Patty
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so caring, Chris and Patty. Thank you! Just took more meds and am getting drowsy so I may sleep late and don't think I want to negotiate all those people tomorrow. Need a little time to get used to this (I see the ortho in a couple of days for the cast.)
DeleteIf you have time later on, might appreciate some company, though. :)
Barbara, we're so sorry to hear about your terrible accident. What a lousy end to a wonderful winter. When does your son come??? I hope the culprit at least stopped and helped you.
DeleteThe Chicago ride sounds fantastic. Wish I lived closer; I'd do it!!!!
Barb We're so sorry to hear about your accident. What a rotten way to end a great biking winter. Hope you wrist heals quickly so that you can enjoy your summer.
DeleteWe'll look forward to seeing you next January.
The Quacks
Thanks! Took me two hours this morning to hang up clothes from yesterday, semi-make the bed, brush teeth, semi-bathe and get dressed and make appt. for cast tomorrow. And now I'm tired again...but maybe that's partly the meds. LOL
DeleteI'll get better at this. :) Drive safely back!
Barb, we're really sorry to hear about your accident. I hope the break is not too complex so it will heal quickly and without any complications. Need your leadership next Winter.
ReplyDeleteSee everyone next Winter.
Ken and Margaret
Thank you, Ken and Margaret. Drive safely!
DeleteAnyone wish to ride thursday, meet 11:00 at Gulf Place access where we met for the potluck. Smiling fish restaurant is across the street. Ride for hour or so and lunch afterwards at Smiling Fish. Let me know if your up for it. Chris
ReplyDeleteTerri and Roger are thinking of joining you, but she is still having blog/computer trouble and will email you.
DeleteBarb, heard about your accident ths morning. Whatt a horrible way to end the season, We would be happy to come over and help you pack. We're not leaving until Tuesday morning.
ReplyDeleteChris, don't know for sure about tomorrow, but will let you know ASAP.
Thank you for your kind offer, Stan and Diane. My son arrives early Sunday in a rental car he'll leave here and drive me back in my car. I hang most of my clothes in the car and don't have too much to get packed, so we think it will take no more than a couple of hours. :) May see you tomorrow at lunch after I get my cast.
DeleteWe can ride tomorrow if the ride is still on.
ReplyDeleteYep, ride's still on!
DeleteI want to publicly thank the Olsons for taking such good care of me, waiting for hours in emergency and taking me to get my pain meds and dinner Tuesday night. You and the Schalls have saved the day and I am eternally grateful! Add to that the thoughtful offers here on the blog and by phone and I just thank God for you all!
ReplyDeleteWe decided to leave for the north early tomorrow morning so won't be seeing you until next January. So, we wish everyone a good year and will be looking forward to more biking when we get back.
ReplyDeletelynn and Allen
Awwww, you won't be around to sign my cast...lol! Drive safely and take care until we see you again!
DeleteOK, the ride is on see you all at 11:00 at the Gulf Place access. Barb may join us for lunch if she gets her cast on by then. Patty is taking her to the hospital for a ten oclock appointment and then they drive out and join us. Chris
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Barb, just read what happened to you, that is so horrible, it's a good thing you have a great son to take care of you. (kids do come in handy sometimes). I am willing to help in anyway also, packing, shopping whatever you need, please let me know. I have some homemade spaghetti sauce I would like to give you. Do you need noodles also? Let me know, I can deliver it after the bike ride.
ReplyDeletePat and Don
The Canucks
Hey Canucks! Thanks again -- just seeing your message now. So happy I got to see you before leaving! Be well till we meet up again next year!
DeleteSorry Barb, just saw your blog on the accident, hope the healing and rehab goes well, and you are back biking soon. We want to thank you so much for setting up all of the trips this winter. Have a speedy recovery, hope to see you during "Bike the Drive" this May in Chicago. Joe and Pat K.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe and Pat. See you soon! Drive back safely!
DeleteHi All-
ReplyDeleteI just saw all the follow-up comments since Barb's accident and didn't realize the ride was still on in Gulf Place. Would have loved one more ride together, but rest assured, Ken and I took an hour ride that day around here. Barb, I hope you were able to make the lunch, and are feeling a bit better now. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ORGANIZING THE BIKE GROUP AND THE RIDES. We would not have met so many wonderful people, or taken such varied routes without you. Already looking forward to next winter. We're booked!
My pleasure, Amy and Ken! Sorry we missed you yesterday! It was a lovely day to lunch at Smiling Fish. And I agree that our bike group has the nicest and most fun people! When I started it, I had no idea how much I'd enjoy you all! Be well...see you next winter.
