Hells Bells Chako .Glade you are still with us mate .Take it easy & mend fast mate.
Just called the Police Dept. The officer who took the case is on vacation. However, the traffic officer on duty read me the report and it would appear they didn't catch the other guy.

The Docs have me on several pain meds right no. So far I am doing ok. My most painful thing to date that I can't do is bending down to feed the cat. This morning, I remembered I still have my mother's reachers...and using that, I was able to grab the bowl and feed him at his right proper time instead of having to pester my great neighbour. I slept in the lazy boy and it felt wonderful.Last night, a friend called and woke me from a deep sleep. I forgot I was injured and almost passed out from the pain of that sudden motion of grabbing the telephone. Ah well, no pain no gain I guess.
Working hard on the healing part.This is what happened as far as I can tell...I was cruising doing the speed limit following traffic on my way to either home or a close friend. I was going down a hill on Second line west. Off in the distance, I could see an ambulance coming up on the inside lane. Now this road is a 4 laner. The road was busy with traffic. I saw the two cars ahead of me turn on their blinkers to move away from the approaching ambulance and into my lane. As there was plenty of room, I slowed down and allowed them to enter. I was slowing down due the Ambulance anyways. Next thing I know, I hear a screech and then I can't breath followed by a wonderful time out. I woke up to a bunch of emergency folks looking over me. I asked about my bike and one told me it was in great shape. I looked a little and saw it over on my right shoulder about 30 feet away or so. They quickly got my gear off, supported my head. One of the firefighters present is a friend. I was taken off to hospital. In Emergency, his wife lied and told them she was my girlfriend in order to talk to me. Up to that point, I was no use to the police officer who was trying to take my statement. I was coherent, but doped up on some heavy stuff. My friend informed me that there were witnesses, and that a car either clipped me or cut me off, that I went over the handlebars, and that a charge is pending.I phoned today to find out that they haven't found the other guy. The police report stated that I was cut off and lost control of my bike. That is it. Ah well, I am alive and that is all that counts right now.
Be that as it may, Ontario has no fault insurance…so the details are only required for my own knowledge.
