And as for vampire kitty, he's my psycho kitty - Brenda has a nice one. This one is a Balinese, which is a long-haired Siamese, but not as furry as a Himalayan. Simba is a nice kitty (unless he's hungry...).

I dont know, still has that " I dare you to try me" look.

It is so good to be home after 3 LONG days in the Trauma unit. The good news is I did not end up with a little bag outside the body situation. There are no intestinal tears, spleen, liver or kidney issues so far. I was told to watch for those kinds of issues in the coming days. I cannot quite walk upright, and was told to stay off of my bike for at least ten days to two weeks.
Special thanks to all of my wonderful trail angels for the gifts and visits and endless phone calls- Thanks Jacke & Nancy (Denmother)
and Thanks Kristine and Carrie for helping me to escape from the hospital today, get me home, get me food, clean my house, etc.....
Thanks ,Mark ( Outlaw) for being one of my best friends for more than 20 years - for being on that ride with me , and knowing exactly what to do!

Brenda

Glad your are home Brenda. I did call you back but no answer. I'm glad Kristine and Carrie were there for you. So sorry about your accident. But grateful no serious damage.

After you heal, I look forward to another ride to Beeks.

I just about died laughing looking at those photos of "the breakout"- the WTF picture is classic! We should have brought that thing home so I could frame it- although I am not so technically challenged that I cant print it from the photo...It was so good to sleep in my own bed last night- healing is so must faster in ones own element. My cat has not left my side- I will try and post a picture of her , or send it to Kristine to post!
I wanted to add a few more thanks- to Eric (singleminded) for all the nice texts and calls, ecards, cute pics and sweetness- to Richard (richie rich) for the calls and texts, visit, and ride to the pharm yesterday. You are the best, my friend. And to Jeff(mtb4fun) for the post with the beautiful flowers... we will ride together again very soon!
Insane Elaine for the Superman Jammies and visiting last night...
And last but not least- Mark (outlaw) for bringing dinner last night for myself and my son, and being there for me for the last 22 years...

I'll see you all on the trails again soon!
