This was about one week before the accident:
"Yesterday I bought a 50cc Baja motor scooter. The color is fuchia and it's so much fun to ride! Now I will join Curves again because I won't mind using the extra gas to drive there every day. With going downtown every day I've become reluctant to do any extra driving. My scooter gets well over 100 mpg, they say. How green is that? Love, Mom"
Of course, the first reply I gave her was "Please wear a helmet!" I remember being so proud of Mom for going green, and you have to admit, it's pretty spunky of her to have done so. I guess we should all learn from her experience though.
Someone told me today that most ER employees, who've seen their share of motorcycle accident victims, would never ever purchase a motorized scooter or motorcycle of any kind.

Since Mom's accident I have met many others who were lucky to survive and they all tell similar stories. One young man said he went back to visit the ER and ICU when he recovered and they all said he was a miracle. He had died while there. He was told that they call motorcylists "organ donors" because, eventually, that is what they become.
Merry Christmas to John, Linda, and all your family. I have been thinking of you daily through this holiday season. Greetings from Baltimore, with hopes for a wonderful new year of recovery and new beginnings.
