Day 213 - Saturday July 14, 2012 seven months since the wreck

Our driveway is pretty long and walking down and back is about 1/4 of a mile.  Bridgett has been going out and walking the length of the driveway about 8 times a day, sometimes doing 2 times down the driveway in a row.  Since we've had this hot weather this past week we haven't gone out in the middle of the day (because no one wanted to go with her!) so she's only been doing 4-5 times.  She jogs part of time each time out and she's got pretty good form actually.  She would like to jog the entire time and doesn't seem to tire but her lungs start hurting and she has to slow back to a walk.  She's been taking something for a lung infection but we might have to try something else as it doesn't seem to be improving.  Bridgett and I walked over and took at look at her bike this week.  It's over by the other garage and she hadn't seen it yet.  It is snapped right in half, well, snapped just behind the steering wheel and the wheels are bent.  She was sad to see it--she calls her bike Yakov (remember that she has always named things!).  Anyway, Yakov is definitely dead.  The warranty on the bike frame, lifetime warranty, excluded any wreck (one wonders what else would make the frame snap!) so for now we will not replace it.  The helmet looks almost perfect but once a helmet has taken a hit it is no good--her helmet is warrantied even for an accident and will be replaced--we need to do that still.
