Lynlee, I do agree with you that we have to accept our current circumstances and try to make the best of every day. I don't think I have accepted the possibility yet that the PCS symtoms might not go away soon. I was the victim of a crime (hit & run accident) and I don't like that word "victim". If I don't get better and get back to the things I really like to do, then I will remain a victim and that is not acceptable for me. To have my life ruined by some careless drugdealer could turn me in to a bitter old person and that's not really me. All my friends, including my sister and brother-in-law, are cyclists, so if I don't get back to that group, I will lose a big part of my life.

I am really sorry about all your loses, especially your mother, and I hope you have recovered from your latest head incidence. I lost one of my best friends to cancer on Jan. 1 of this year and I still miss him very much.
