we only fall so we can learn how to get up - RIGHT???
a little reassurance, here, please. we start class tomorrow evening and get on the motorcycles on tuesday night. 
in the past week, our almost new bike has taken two dives. last tuesday i brought the bike to a total and complete stop successfully but didn't get my foot on the ground quickly enough. so i fell over. in front of my husband and all his neighborhood riding buds. DAMN. 
they all thought it was hilarious, once they knew i was ok.
on friday night my 19 yr old hit the throttle instead of the brake. she was only going about 5 miles an hour, but ran into her parked car in our driveway and flew over the front - superman style - landing on her face, forearms, chest and tummy. thankfully she had her helmet on. she's only a little banged up and will be ok once the bruises and road rash are gone.
we were giving her crap about which insurance she should go to. motorcycle, auto, health, or homeowners because she ended up getting an ambulance ride to the hospital as well as a CT scan cause her tummy hurt. again, she'll be ok. but we're all slightly more tentative after that. seeing our eldest on the stretcher and then in the emergency room is a truly sobering sight. we had half a dozen police cars, a fire truck, and an ambulance here. GULP. 
so today i got out on the motorcycle, went a mile or so, came back, rode on the bicycle. the motorcycle is way more comfortable, i just gotta take it really slow.
mon thru thurs i'm off work at 4:30 and in class from 5:30 - 9:30. wish us luck. i doubt i'll be writing before the end of the week, but will let y'all know what happens.
oh yeah - i also found out i need ANOTHER surgery. the problem i'm having with bm has become worse. i have a rectocele, which the proctologist tells me is a large hernia, on the wall between my vagina and my rectum. won't go away, won't get better, can't be fixed any way other than surgically. in june i'll be having a more complete look at my pelvic region to make sure that's all that's wrong. in july i'm gonna see a plastic surgeon, in the hope they can do a panni along with the butt fix, since i'm having horrible backaches again. but that's not gonna happen before the end of summer. on my 'laundry list' of physical complaints - the back ache is the next thing to attend to.
sorry this is so long. guess i've been waiting to post for awhile now.
everybody have a great week. again, wish us luck.

I am sOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of you!!! Youre my idol!!!! I'm living vicariously(sp?) through you. I attempted to learn to ride a 4-wheeler. Now mind you, that thing had 4 wheels NOT 2 and I still popped an unintentional wheelie and almost killed myself. NEVER AGAIN!!!
All I can say is the old-tired-worn-out YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!
Sorry to hear about your other health problem. You know they say when it rains it pours. I only wish I were 1/2 as strong as you are!
