CAUTION:  Graphic Photos Within

On Sept 19th, 2020 I took a very familiar ride in Oakland that I’ve ridden a million times on Tunnel Road over to Redwood Road then back on Joaquin Miller.  

During my descent in Pinehurst my life changed in an instant.  I recall looking beyond the stop sign where the road had eroded many years back and to be careful of cars coming up the hill.  I could hear car engines getting wound up and see a bunch of Mini Coopers racing uphill then I don’t remember anything for several hours. 
I can only speculate one of these cars hit me.  My Garmin showed me going 22 mph and then stopped within a few feet.   The damage to my body showed no defensive wounds where I may have tried to break my fall.

The palms of my hands showed no marks at all. No rash marks on my hips or brake handles scrubbed. None of the telltale signs of going down on a bike.  

Oddly, the top of my knees are scraped down to the bone on both sides. 

And I’m puzzled how the top of my knuckles were banged up and bleeding pretty good. 
While other cyclists found me, I hear that my face hit the ground very hard, breaking the optical floor.   

The damage is done and besides a broken face, I’m fairly lucky the damage was not worse.   Now reality sets in, and I’m faced with immense medical bills.  In June due to COVID, I had to close my 12 yr old business   I taught cooking camps, held classes, catered and held team building events   With my income torn away, I’m fortunate to have found a job with a great company but the new medical expenses are beyond my ability to manage.

The follow up surgery to repair my broken eye socket was a choice beyond money or having the eye fall into my sinus cavity and perhaps not being able to look up any longer.  

For the past 20 months I’ve been meditating daily for spiritual serenity.  I’m asking for the universe to provide assistance for this life event.  The person who did this to me will get whatever karma they are due.   I will seek serenity and hope to ride my bike again some day.  Please help with my current and future medical bills.  Thank you in advance for your contribution.
