David, thank you for your positive outlook in such a crummy circumstance. You have encouraged me by your get-the-bike-fixed-and-hurry-up-and-get-back-on-the-horse attitude. I pray you heal quickly, and carry those positive things that have come your way with you for a long, long time.

What everyone else said-get well soon. You seem to be bouncing right back mentally, with looking into getting the S.O. fixed right away. In light of that I think it's a great idea to get that bike fixed soon. It may help your spirit to see it back in shape as you heal too. On
