Hi folks, just an update about skipnchar
My latest RV Adventure was a motorcycle trip accross counntry to ride the blueridge parkway. took a week out and traveled 2800 miles in one week and had a wonderful trip.
Several days after I returned I was riding near a favorite scenic drive near home and met up with a heard of deer on the road. I hit one broadside at about 60 MPH and that's about all I can (want to) remember. My bike trapped my right leg under it and burned me saverely alone with LOTS of road rash (which they also treat as a burn). I spent three weeks in the KUMC burn unit heavily sedated and was finally released last week. Underwent about a half dozen skin grafts and have an ankle that is only about half there at this time.
It's been a painful and enlightening time for me but it does look like I will likely survive and recover mostly. I was very lucky that I had no head injury even though I wasn't wearing a helmet.
Just thought I'd drop a few lines to bring all my friends up to date with my latest folly.
Happy travels to everyone and be safe out there.
