The Weight of a Millimeter

A distracted driver, a motorcycle crash, and the terrifying wait to see if I would ever walk again.

@stefano I'm glad you recovered well. I have a similar story – not as well written, though! Did you ever get back on a bike?

@afb Thank you! Yes, I did - immediately after, as I couldn't get into a car. But I sold it in 2014 - I just didn't need it anymore

@stefano I read that without any break, it's such an intensive text. And I know that feeling well when you understand more about life in a hospital.
I'm happy that it ended well!

@stefano You’re a lucky guy, Stefano, that could have turned out a lot worse. Thanks a lot for sharing such personal stories, still trying to avoid that in my blog.
You still use a scooter?

@Linkshaender Thank you. No, not anymore. But not because of this accident: when I moved away from Bologna, I almost stopped using it (except when going to Bologna) and finally sold it in 2014.

@stefano I see. Well, anyway, next time I’m taking the Vespone on the road, I will have you blog post in mind. I’m always assuming everybody else is driving careless, but you never know. OTOH, I feel safer driving in Italy than here in Bavaria…

@kinghaunst Thank you, Rainer. I'm trying to express my feelings, my memories, my points of view. Sometimes, they're emotional 🙂

@stefano Doctors remaining vague … I made that experience, too (different case, but still), and I hate it. I always want to know what's going on.

@atarifrosch I agree, but sometimes they don’t really know.

@stefano Then they could tell that (but they often avoid to admit that).
