Rider Down - My Mom

Damn that sucks. Hope she recovers soon. Even though she didn't listen to you...I'm sure you haven't always listened to her... in one ear and out the other. People learn by their mistakes.

Here is her stuff that's going up on eBay, if anyone is interested:

Holy crap!! I'm sorry I missed this - I hope Mom heals quickly and completely!

My mother shouldn't even be driving a car, let alone anything on two wheels...

Mine neither. But, tell her that and it goes in one ear and out the other. I think this wreck was a real wake-up call for her.

I'm glad she's ok enough for you to be pissed at especially with no gear.

Me too. The last time I saw her (Sunday), she broke down crying on me. It breaks my heart, but I'm very thankful. 30MPH without a helmet on could have easily killed her, if her head hit the road with any kind of force. She does have a couple scratches on her face, but she got away without even a concussion.

She has zero upper body strength, and is using a walker to get around. Her whole body is sore, because she's essentially walking around on her arms now. I work out all the time, so it's no big thing for me to use crutches. She's using a walker. The knee that didn't get injured was bad to begin with (I inherited knee problems from her as well, I can't run regularly, and I have to do squats with knee wraps). Now she's hopping around on it, because her arms aren't strong enough to lift herself off the ground.
