They had just reached a part in the alley way across from one of the parking garage exits when a car came through the gate with its accelerate stuck and smashed into the group of people. Two of them had been crushed and both of them lost one leg. One of her friends went through months of treatment and physical therapy and soon started his spinning classes again. He was up and riding his bike shortly after that and it has always been such an inspirational story for me when I think about it. It was his will and strength and determination that he used to bounce back. And I suppose the extent of his injuries had a lot to do with his final recovery, but I have always been in awe and when I have a set back in my life with my illness I find myself thinking of this man. Unfortunately the other man didn't bounce back so well and he still has problems.Something Happened Somewhere Turninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897631770669843340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269990339302416599.post-51511104687301701412010-01-09T22:32:29.375-05:002010-01-09T22:32:29.375-05:00El Bad Ass probably doesn't know the joys of w...El Bad Ass probably doesn't know the joys of watching tv while eating biscuits.<br /><br />He probably misses out on lots of good stuff.Allegro ma non troppohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429615833285806779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269990339302416599.post-45047688760924844732010-01-09T13:54:51.706-05:002010-01-09T13:54:51.706-05:00unfortunately even El BadAss won't be able to ...unfortunately even El BadAss won't be able to inspire me to get out in the cold.
