Dodie, you are amazing! So glad to know that all is well!
6 years agoAt least it is a small x! When they did my ankle surgery I think he wrote his whole name out on my leg in permanent marker - took me a long time to get it out!
6 years agoAh yes, because then a walk to the bathroom would put her out the window on the other side and onto the driveway.
6 years agoEagerly awaiting updates! Good to see that grin!
6 years agoGreat to see that smile! Best wishes for a full recovery!

6 years agoLooking good mom!
6 years agoSounds good. Get well soon so you can do it all over again!!
6 years agoSo glad to hear it all went well. Good luck for a quick recovery. Let me know when you can bend your knee more than 90 degrees - the first goal.
Love
Tricia and Ken
Best wishes to Dodie for a speedy recovery—and then a second new knee!

Keeping you in our thoughts and hoping it goes smoothly. What a trooper you are, Dodie!
6 years agoFingers are crossed. Hope that the next time we see you the surgery will be done. We are currently in Victoria more than in Mill Bay because we are caring for Matt's kids until Wednesday.
6 years agoHi Bill, I just noticed that I had not acknowledged your interesting post. Yours is one of the first reports coming back that we have seen about a NWT with e-assist. Bike Friday certainly has entered the e-assist world in earnest. Let us know how your NWTs work out as you use them in various situations. Do they have any tendency to want to take off on you, like if you have stopped but left the assist level high?
Dodie is going in for two knee replacements in the next four months. I might post some updates from that in this blog. But beyond that, hopefully, watch for us zooming around Austria, Germany, and Czech in the Spring.
Where will you go, how will you use, your new NWTs?
Hi Steve,
I have followed all of your trips since the first, through the Palouse. I am so happy that Dodie was not seriously injured. My wife and I have a Bike Friday tandem we have ridden less and less since 2005. I have had several accidents on my Mt. Bike, and I have come to believe that the tandem is a bad idea as I enter my late seventies. If I have an accident on the tandem, my wife mightl be injured too. So reading about Dodie's accident motivated us to go to Eugene and order two NWT, with the Alfine 11sp hub and belt drive. We also added e-assist which will become more and more useful on the hills we readily ride near our home in Idaho.
The test ride in Eugene was a revelation. The system watches your cadence and keeps it the same as you pedal up a steep hill.
Thanks for your wonderful journals and pictures over the years.
