How has everyone been? I Haven't been doing much after aquiring my first bit of extensive roadrash. Fortunately it wasn't on my beloved trumpet. It was at the hands of a 7000lb cage. Just walking casually through a parking lot to do a bit of shopping and as I am walking past the rear of a mammoth ford HEAVY DUTY pickup the driver looks back at what I though was ME!!! I guess he saw through my skeleton like 200+lb frame or just felt like running over someone after a bad shopping experience. So I take one step behind the beast and vrooooom he nails the gas, takes out my leg with the HD bumper and continues to drag me under the monstrous cage for 20 ft or so. I hang on to the bumper for dear life with my left arm, my right arm dragging underneath me all the while trying to avoid being dragged under the beasts rubber. For a finnale he slams the brakes, jarring my tight left grip loose and sending my head on a crash course towards the greasy pavement. I guess he must have felt bad and could not stand the sight of blood because he TOOK OFF!!!
That night the hospital doc comes and tells me she has bad news. I fractured my femur. Well I have broken plenty of bones in my time and I disagree. She insists and sets me up with an immobilzer. I get the unavoidable scrubdown to remove the road debrise from my fleshy wounds. All in all about and hour of burning pain. The next day I see the orthipedic and he agrees with me...HAHA. Well I thought at that point I evaded an extended loss of riding time but to my surprise I have some nerve damage and something else wrong with my left shoulder. So I have been sitting around for maybe a month now not even able to properly type, just read.
So Monday I start physical therapy. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllp!!!!!!!!!!
