just the update. it may be a little bit before i post the sweater pattern.

mom: rough day. i had my first crash on the new bike...ran into the side of my car (oh, lovely). the car is dented on two doors (not horrid, but enough), and the bike, though not even a scratch, wouldn't start (please someone tell me i didn't do something to the engine). my next door neighbor and her daughter helped me get the bike up and then the daughter volunteered to go to the store to get us some cokes. as she pulled from the neighborhood, she was struck by a high speed car that she didn't see approaching. the force caused her car to roll (we're not sure how many times). we could hear the impact from my driveway and we knew it was her. her lower back is broken.

very rough day. good night all.

UpDATE TO THE CONDITION: I spoke witht the family thursday night. Her back is not fractured according to the radiologist but has a contusion on it.
