Thanks for your concern

Several of you have asked for a followup to my car crash last month. Basically, I'm fine, and thanks for asking. I've ordered this bumper sticker:

OK, there was no sidewalk or pedestrians involved, but you get the gist.

My insurance company was completely understanding.


and paid promptly so I could get a new car. Here it is, being delivered.



(In truth, my company, Amica, has been very, very good.)

I've had a number of exotic medical tests to try to figure out what went wrong to cause the crash.









(That last one briefly turned me into a 1950's woman!)

We used the latest diagnostic tools...



... in the best clinical settings...



... including a CAT scan.



But there are no answers so far. That's probably a good thing, overall. We'll keep testing as long as it makes sense to do so, but at some point we'll probably just chalk it up to the human equivalent of a random reboot. Sh*t happens.

In the meantime, all tests are indeed pretty normal, I'm feeling fine, and have resumed my normal exercise routines such as treadmill work...



... long walks in the pleasant woods...



...and my usual healthful diet.



I know I should cut down, so I left the toothpick.

I have grounded myself from my motorcycles for the time being, not wanting to become a statistic. But scooters may still be doable for local grocery runs and such.



The short form is that I'm OK. Here's proof, a photo of me at the beach!



Thanks for asking.


Tomorrow: The long-awaited report on my home-beermaking experiments! (And no, there was no correlation between the beermaking any my running into a building, honest! :-) )

  1. Funny report on a serious situation, so the accident didn't injure your sense of humor. It's good that the tests haven't shown anything wrong, and I hope that continues!

  2. Thanks for that. It's a nice coincidence that your own photo ended up next to the medicalscience robot on the page.

  3. Fred, Thanks for the update. I've had my eyes peeled for that for a long time! Sounds like no news is probably good news, but I'm glad to hear you are self-banned from the motorcycles in the meantime.
