I suppose you had to find some way to deal with the anger at that careless driver.
I never thought about that aspect?
I have NO RECOLLECTION of the event.
But I do have FALSE MEMORIES???
I was ‘asleep’ for the first ten days -two weeks.
I had to ask my wife what happened, she had to bring the accident report because I did not believe it!
Many accidents at the same location. Shortly after my accident, a woman was KIA everything the same.
They have since built a bicycle bridge at Busse Woods Elk Grove Il over Higgins Rd at Frontage.
I was angry at my homeowner’s insurance!
They only paid half of the $750 ambulance ride and nothing for the $pandx cut off my carcass or my $$$ bike.
My gold plated medical paid about half a million, no problem.
I still have doubts about it being my fault, too late now!
Sometimes, the memory protects a person by allowing them to forget or never fully register certain events. Hospitals have some kind of gas for that, I’m pretty sure.
I’ve had some surgeries. I’m glad I don’t remember those at all.
Glad you’re OK. I used to ride a ton than moved to where it’s just not conducive to ride.
I’m going to Cape Cod tomorrow for work for a week. Taking my bike.
Regarding your insurance story, I once knew a guy who got hit by a car. He wasn’t injured but his $1000 bike was trashed. The driver drove him to a bike shop and opened his checkbook. Got a brand new bike.
