So glad it wasn't worse!

I'm glad you are "ok" in the major context. Shoulder injuries can be an up down thing, but it sounds like you have a good doctor. Hang in there my friend. :)

I'm glad you're ok too. Take it easy.

It's a lot of suck. Poor poor boy.

~WINCE!~ Sorry to hear that!

Oooh, Chris =/ Ouch!!! Glad it's not worse...

[identity profile] theoneinblue.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh Chris! I'm so sorry! But I'm so glad that you were able to [sort of] walk away from an accident like this - I hope you heal quickly, and that the Aprilia is not without hope!

[identity profile] royal-spice.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Owie! And, thank goodness this was a walk[limp]-away-from event. Best wishes for rapidly getting it all behind you.

May you heal quickly and fully.

Buddy, I think it's time for you to switch to some form of armored transport. This isn't the first accident and, students being what they are, it's unlikely to be the last. Either that or get a pole with a flag that reads, "I am a professor and if you hit me I will make sure that your grades go down in flames." Hmm - I think we're going to need a bigger flag. Get better soon!

Yow! Sorry about the shoulder, but glad it wasn't worse...

[identity profile] stina-leicht.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm so sorry. may your recovery be swift and thorough.

[identity profile] stuology.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree. Plus you'd have the benefit of looking really cool. As the saying goes: If you want to be untouchable, you need to look untouchable.

Glad you are ok, sorry about the bike.....

[identity profile] queenoftheskies.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you're mostly okay. Hope you heal soon.

[identity profile] saycestsay.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
dittoing all the above sentiments... and I definitely agree with [livejournal.com profile] weaselmom's idea of a flag :).

Glad you're okay; hope your Acromioclavicular Separation of the shoulder improves quickly.

And hey! A new project: repair the Aprilia!

[identity profile] saffronhare.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ouch! Hope you're able to resolve repairs without a huge PITA, and that the AC joint heals well for you. Physical therapy will be really, really important. (gentle hugs)

[identity profile] scarlettina.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh Chris! Ouch indeed. I'm so sorry. Feel better!

[identity profile] dotar-sojat.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Shake it off! It's not like people were shooting at you or anything.

[identity profile] seachanges.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Ouch! I'm glad it wasn't worse. Good thoughts toward a speedy recovery.

[identity profile] frugurl27.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no! Glad it's not worse, but sorry about you and the Aprilia!

I hope that driver gets his due somehow.

[identity profile] normalcyispasse.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, so, what the hell? :( Do I need to come to KS to smack some cager with a clue-by-four?

[identity profile] amjhawk.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you're relatively ok, and I hope your shoulder recovers alright. Poor Aprilia...

Too bad I wasn't around. I needed the excuse to smack someone upside the head and driver guy would have been perfect.

600mg of ibuprofen is your friend. :)

OMG Yikes! May you recover swiftly

[identity profile] dsgood.livejournal.com 2009-07-16 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
My sympathies, and wishes for good healing.

[identity profile] jeanineers.livejournal.com 2009-07-17 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you recover fully and quickly. I hope the guy who pulled out in front of you can't sleep for the guilt.

[identity profile] siro-gravity.livejournal.com 2009-07-17 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
oh no.
:(
