    Get well quickly Brenda. I look forward to riding with you and your TA's soon!

    I was out riding Sat morning and did see a chopper low to the ground over Chiquita Ridge. I guess that must have been Brenda...

    Hope you are feeling better, I've been where you are now and understand just how not fun internal hemorrhages are. I hope you at least got to somewhat enjoy the Helo ride, I hear thats the funnest part, and I wasn't with it enough to know the difference. It took me about a week to feel somewhat normal, and near 2 to get a good nights sleep, after that it was more an amazement of the colors forming on my body. It's not everyday you have a purple leg.

    Take Care & Heal Fast!!

    She said she couldn't even tell the heli was flying it was so smooth, and it only took 3 minutes to fly from Chiquita to Mission Hosp. I think she was mesmerized by the cute rescue guys.

    Wow. Get better soon! I'm elated to see that she wasn't riding alone. Thanks for taking care of her STA.

    My friends at Mission will take good care of her. If she needs anything at all, please let me know and I'll pass it along.
