Raising money for research and durable aids


This party that moves from town to town is planned for September 16, 2006. Bikers seem to have much social awareness as they also have fun. The pictured booth was at the Lincoln bike show last Sunday.

Have you ever twisted BOTH ankles?

Due to balance problems, but much more due to very slow reactions, I fall very poorly. Tripping over a seat cushion on Tuesday left me with both ankles twisted. There is a very strange feeling to limping on both. It should only be one at a time.

Freshly injured. Although the left looks worse, the right was actually more injured--as in re-injuries from my January fall.

Here is what happened for January and February


Sidewalks look like not too much of a problem . . . but watch out!!!

broken arm diagnosis

I was trying to nap at home for the first several hours after falling. I finally realized that this was more (and slightly different) pain than the usual and got myself to the emergency room.
Flipbook of the fall which jammed my elbow and shoulder up. I had a bruise on my shoulder from an inside impact of my own bone. Since it was a chip on the head of my lower arm bone, there was no cast. Interestingly, the bone doc gave me a corset-type-cast for my ankle which must be out of it enough that I didn't feel much pain there.

Forgot that I forget

My bedroom and bathroom floors are all freshly mopped and all of my towels and some of my blankets will soon be freshly laundered because I turned the bathtub on and went to write an email (and entirely forgot about the bath, thereafter).

Cats just sit there and look at disasters happening. You'd think one of them would come and get me.

It's funny how easy it is to revert back to thinking that you can count on your memory. I guess I forget that I can't count on it.
