Monday 10-6-14, I rode my Honda silver wing to work and of course it was rather chilly at 4am, a cool 45* and so I wore a heavier coat. After work it had warmed to a pleasant 64* with some clouds and scattered light showers mixed with some rather enjoyable sunshine, so I rode home and changed my coat for a light jacket and promptly rode my wing to the small town of Walton to pay a bill.
The day was going so fantastic, work went great as did the ride home and then to Walton and then ..... I started home.
Left Walton on HWY 35 N for a short distance until I turned onto Cass Station Road, thinking I would go into Logansport from the East and do some shopping. I soon came to a barricade and a sign stating that the road was closed so I turned on "SOUTH RIVER ROAD" and let me say that this is truly a pleasant curvy road to bike on and that I have traveled on this road hundreds of times.
I had just crossed over minnow creek and the sun was shining, It was one of those slow leisure rides 35-40 mph and then it happened ..... the next thing I remember is being at MEMORAL HOSPITAL, my left arm is on fire (pain) then I'm in a room and my daughter is there ... Doctors, nurses asking me what happened .... I tell them the same thing, I was out for a Great ride and now I'm here with a broken left hand and broken left wrist .
The hospital was suppose to operate Monday but for some reason my blood sugar was elevated so they postponed it until Friday 10-10 and when they checked me again on Friday they said it was still a little elevated and will postpone it again until Monday 10-13. My bike is a mess and whatever I hit, the bike took the blunt but the police report said it was a single vehicle accident.
I am so very blessed to have so many people who care so very much for me, they keep me in their thoughts and prayers and if I need anything at all, they are here to help. Was able to get some emergency time off of work.
The worst part of this is .... Some where, some how, I lost my Dentures. and its going to cost $1,750.oo to get them re-placed.
