    No shit. I got creamed by one of these oversized emotional support vehicles last year while riding my bicycle to work. That asshole hit me from behind and nearly killed me. I’m lucky I got out of that wheelchair.

    He said he didn’t see me 🙄

        You don’t want to see them. He shattered and dislocated my hip requiring me to be in traction. My foot was broken in several places as well as
        almost all my ribs on my left side.

        The pain was so horrible I almost passed out when there needed to move me from gurney to gurney. I only finally fell unconscious when they took me into surgery to stop the internal bleeding.

        You sure you want pictures of that?

        I hit the limit allowable by state for this accident. They also covered my entire hospital stay, multiple surgeries and physical therapy sessions.

        Without getting into specifics, It’s not a lottery ticket but I’m looking for land to buy and build a house on.

          That’s good. Thank you. I’m sorry you had to go through all that pain. I hope what you have now helps.

            Without making this your problem the biggest struggle I have is being 90% there but plateauing and being unable to progress any further.

            I was highly motivated when I went from the bed to the chair to the crutches to the cane and finally back to my own two feet, but I limp aggressively and I can’t sit on a bicycle anymore.

            One day I have to accept this is as good as it ever gets but I’m not quite ready to let go of hope yet. Thanks for well wishes my friend 😁🍻
