Down, gettin up & dusting myself off

[GaMotoGirl]

Hey everyone. Finding this site has been a God-send. My name is Christina and back in March was injured while riding a quad. I was at work, patrolling the trails as a paramedic, when I came over a jump and flipped. I normally ride and race my sport quad and dirtbike, but that day (since I was working) was on a utility. We believe the handlebars crushed my right hand. Now, after 5 surgeries, vein grafts, and skin grafts I am short 2 1/2 fingers, and have some crazy nerve damage to my legs.

But I cant wait to ride again... heck just to go back to work will be good for me too.... but to smell and taste the dirt again... I cant wait. Doc says another 6 months, but I am hoping for a max of 3.

Christina:

Good luck with your recovery. I do think it helps to write about your feelings. It also serves as a journal. When you are feeling down and are not sure you are making progress, you can go back and look at where you were a month or two ago.

Hang in there and let us know if you need anything.
