Thank you so much for the suggestion and the well wishes! I will look into it. Fortunately the scuff is very superficial. I have been battling a rare brain genetic disorder called Chiari Malformation. i have had part of my cerebellum removed, parts of my skull removed, and the back half of my C1 neck verterbra removed. Needless to say, I am having a lot of balance issues now that make riding impossible (not to mention the headaches, nerve damage, etc, etc)...
