Insomnia happens with opiate based pain relievers, ask your Doc for Lunesta.  It doesn't adversely interact and works freaking awesome.

Wonderful pic trumpetguy...please feel free to post up more!! 

Thanks for the good wishes, Dan and all. Little by little.....

And last, but definitely not least, thanks for the info about the opiate-based pain meds, terry.    I had absolutely no idea. I thought it'd knock me out cold, but it made me awake and nauseous. It's just not my week (month/year).

Lunesta will knock you out cold.  I've never slept that well in my life.

Thanks, brett. Are you going on Bob's Monterey ride??

Actually, I moved back to socal a few months ago. (Yeah, I know, booo socal, but it's not permanent.) Incidentally, one of the few things I like better down here are the double yellow carpool lanes. It cuts down on the number of idiots like the one you encountered.

Oh my...southern Cali! Now *there's* fast-moving traffic! 

Be careful even with those DY carpool lanes... I've seen some vids of idiots doing crazy things even across THOSE!  I swear with part of my "bike fix-up $" I'm going to get a helmet cam..I really am... It would have been priceless to have the witch cutting me off on film. gRRRr

When do you come back up north! And are you down south for school? Work? *nosy*

make that one hate you somewhat after you rape their pocketbook/wallet, heh lol, how ya been doin   

The funny thing is that I don't even care about taking her to the cleaners. I just want everything set to rights, but I doubt that's going to happen. I've been told that it's a major miracle if I don't receive a percentage of the blame, even though I was doing nothing illegal and was not the cause of the accident.

The doc up'd the ante today, thank the moto gawdesses. Morphine and muscle relaxer....  The pain was getting unmanageable....but today's there's been some relief. Hopefully my muscles will calm down and start healing now. I so badly wanted to go on a coastal group ride tomorrow night, too.    Wonder if I should sell the morphine and get a new pipe... I keeeed, I keeeed... 

Other than not being able to work, not being able to ride, being in pain, and feeling intense dislike toward one specific cager, life's not bad!LOLOLOL And I have insomnia... 

is teh report out yet? ie whos at fault?, im not saying hit her for millions or none of that shaZam!, BUT make it count.ie get your bike, repair quotes, using NEW suzi parts at a dealership

I probably won't get the report until next week sometime (CHP says it takes about 8 days to process), so I don't know yet. I have obtained some legal advice, and he said it'd be a miracle if I'm not assigned some % of the blame.  So she's doing all sorts of illegal things, but I"m the one who sits here suffering, and I'm assigned blame just by virtue of the fact that I'm an evil bike who's legally sharing lanes in a safe and prudent manner, as dictated by law.  Don't get me started! 

I just really, really hope that having a witness helped, but the atty didn't seem to think that there was ANY chance that she'd be found completely at fault (even if the cop had been right there, witnessed the carnage, etc...bikers are still evil and to blame).

aint that the truth  , id give you an idea if you want satisfaction, create an account in her likeness, and ( which you can do as an admin), tehn ban her, granted it wont accomplish anything, cept perhaps to ease the strain/tenseness

Ya know what would make you feel really good (maybe not physically, but emotionally)  finding the bitches house and flaying her wrists open with a nice sharp knife after injecting a high grade numbing agent into her vocal cords so she can't scream. 

OK, that's it, I'm calling that damn Marine recruiter back.........

Ja dammit go kill something

Hope you're continuing to heal!  Keep the faith.  And the painkillers...

Aw, Pandy, I just found this out! I hope you have a speedy recovery! 

I hope they nail that jerk, and you get a new 1098 out of it... ok, just a new SV

I really....REALLY...like this idea....'cept I'd want to hear her scream. 

I tried to get by with just the muscle relaxers and Vicodin today, but it was a no-go. Still  need the opiate-based pain killer. Will try again tomorrow. And I really was hoping I'd be able to start riding again as of last night. 

dont you still have ratzuki"?, your gs?, is it rideable?

Believe it or not, I'm down to just one bike. I no longer have my commuter GS or the ratter. I'm GS nekkid presently.  So I just have to get my jollies caressing scratch's purple beauty...oooooh....Sportbike Night this Wednesday...I can get close to her again.

Damn, just saw this.  I'm so glad you're (relatively) ok!  ATGATT, indeed.  Heal up soon!

id offer you mine, BUT its only 2k miles away  , hey TG, got any pics from the top of teh eiffel? and any of the louvre?

Quote from: yamahonkawazuki on June 15, 2008, 07:55:22 PMhey TG, got any pics from the top of teh eiffel? and any of the louvre?

We couldn't go to the top of the Eiffel -- the top was closed when we got there.  We went to the second level (which supposedly has better views anyway) and the first level.  We took the elevator up (long wait) and then stairs down to level one, and stairs down to the ground.  720 steps to each level!

I have many pictures from the Eiffel Tower and lots from the Louvre as well.  It was an incredible trip -- we'd been saving for it for three years since we last (and first) went to Europe.  We had never been to Paris, and it was fantastic.  Forget everything you've heard about French rudeness, etc. -- it's not true as far as I could tell.

I have posted a few pics to my photobucket account here.  I've hijacked Pandy's thread enough already!

Hijack away!!! LOVE those pics!!!  It's part of my healing process!!!!
