Bike Trip is Done

First - Pat is okay. She is only bruised and nothing is broken. Second
- Pat was hit by a car yesterday afternoon along Route 1 the costal
drive. It was a hit and run by a large SUV. She was pushed over her
handlebars. Tuck and roll into the embankment. She never lost
consciousness so unfortunately she remembers the entire event. I was
ahead of her and did not see the impact but was close enough to hear
and run back. Some very nice people stopped and called 911 for us.
Fast response from emergency services and there were 5 emergency
vehicles there inc police investigating the crime scene. We went to
the hospital - first time in an ambulance for both of us. The nurses
and doctors did their thing and lots of xrays were taken. Pats left
side is very bruised and banged up. Lots of abraisions and her left
wrist is very swollen but not as much as her left ankle which is
massive. No major damage though. Simply amazing considering the
vehicle and speed. The security guard drove us to a local motel for
the night.
