Hi,

This year was quite eventful. I was coming home from work at 1am on May 28, on my motorcycle and was rear-ended while waiting at a red light. Broken back, blood clots, etc. This was a hit-and-run accident, and the person has not been caught yet.

If you could pass some words of experience to our classmates and anyone else. If you have a motorcycle, do not ride on Friday or Saturday nights (also good to avoid Thursday). I researched with PBA attorneys and some judges and found out that over 50% of the people on the road are driving impaired.

I am still recovering, and hope to be well enough to ride by this spring, and hope to give up the pain medication by the end of next month.

If this message saves just one person from going through what I have, then some good will have come from this ordeal.

My best to everyone,
And stay safe.
