Re: OT - Back on the Road Again
Absolutely, Boris! Went for a light spin today (first time on bike since collision - two months). Felt good in the legs and on the shoulder. My big concern is that should I have another collision or fall that shoulder will be fragile. Taking it easy and being careful is a must. Thanks to everyone else for the thoughts and wishes! cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com Sent: November 17, 2012 11/17/12 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: OT - Back on the Road Again That's good news, Frank.

Re: OT - Back on the Road Again
That's good news, Frank. However, I must urge you to exercise double, no, triple caution when you're riding... At least until you got the results of the second x-ray test in January that hopefully would indicate full recovery.
