I spoke to his wife tonight. He'll need surgery on both wrists, right shoulder, left ankle and left hip. He is pretty banged up. Witnesses say he was doing about 45 to 50 mph and just crossed the road into the left lane and hit another car almost head on. They say his body basically fell off the bike before he hit the oncoming car. he is lucky to be alive.
My wife gets worried about me when I drive long distance by myself (anything more than 75 miles. So...she made program my phone to vibrate every 2 hours to remind me to do a self evaluation. I carry glucose tabs with me, candy bars, and lots of water with the vitamins in it.
While I am not dependent on insulin, and my sugars are usually stable at 90, from time to time, they drop and drop real fast. First sign they are starting to drop is when I get jittery, or shaky. Sometimes I sweat for no reason. If I get any sympton, I pull over and take care of my self. I am not embarrassed. I just want to ride and live!
