yeah, gotta see what they will shell out......and if the gs is repairable.  doc says if i dont go with surgery it will probably limit my use of the thumb but if i do let em cut me they'll wanna leave a pin in there which will blow any hope of a SF career we'll see tuesday for sure.  I looked at the thumb x-ray and it looks pretty  f%&ked up but I'm not a doc so.........
I went back to the ER to get a heavier scrip, loritabs weren't cuttin it   they gave me 30 meperdine/promethezine 50/25.......said it's just pill form demerol..shaZam! works so it's OK in my book

ya know I made it to 18 withoput any major injuries since then I've had 11 concussions, several broken toes/fingers ( always metacarpal/metatarsal, though )  staples in my head twice, almost completey severed my right middle finger....yeah thhats about it

Ive Been Hit By 3 cars and not a broken bone , but i bet , when ive finished the gs , ill get hit and well hurt , rest up playa! , your bodys has such a shock , needs to wind down a bit . lets hope the gs is in good condition

Take it easy

Learning and staying diligent about lane placement, guarding your lane, staying visible, etc. really cut down on the number of times I've been cut off this season.  There are books about this, worth picking up.

Any books that you'd recommend?

yeah, the soonest it will be out of a cast is 2 monnths and my doc said that without surgery/pin it'll probably be more like 3-4
Woohoo, total hospital bills so far: 9.5k
I want my bike back bad I miss her

9.5k?

My dad when i was 2 was Knocked off his moped and , was wrapped around a railing , was in hospital for over a year , lost 10 pints of blood in total,. it was free and , he got 133,000 pounds off the bloke , like 1/4 Million US,

Still , It Was A Nasty Accident

I'm not a big fan of the MSF anymore, good courses but it has become too much of a business, that is beside the point though, they are the ones responsible for this book and it's excellent.  At only $20, it's a good deal too, just might save your ass:

David Hough writes a column for Motorcycle Consumer News, which is an AWESOME magazine that everyone should subscribe to, this is his book ABSOLUTELY worth a read:

A lot of people I know swear by Keith Code's Twist of the Wrist Series, while I found it's theory to be helpful and it was certainly informative, most of it is geared towards track riding or racing and not particularly geared towards street riding, so check out the other two books first.  When you're done with them, pass them on to another new rider.
Ride safe.

I just gott back from a follow up at the ER.  They prescribed Mepergan (demerol w/ anti-nausea agent) because Lortabs weren't doion anything   I go to the ortho tuesday I'm tired as hell, too much meds I'm goin to sleep

f%$k again!!!!!  I go in for surgery on my thumb tommorow   doc says best case no riding for 3 f%$king months

Glad you survived.

Three months isn't anything, I was laid up for 6 for just a simple fractured kneecap.

Hope you heal up well and fast [enough].

just the 4 days so far not riding is killing me   I am not looking forward to having screws put in but oh well

I had to wait a whole year before ., almost killed me , it will fly by dude, dont worry ,

can i ask , do u have to pay ur med bills or does the person who hits u do?

Jay

If he hadnt left the scene, his insurance would pay.  But I had Uninsured Motorist coverage so mine is grudgingly paying for all this

I see , Thats Good Tho , I Hope The Bloke Gets Caught And Grabbed In The Showers By Big Bubba...

Hit And Run Is Proper Wrong

hit and run when bodily injury is involved carries a minimum 3 years incarceration    Just got back from surgery ( put two pins in my thumb )  doc said everything went really well and I should  be able to get em out in 3 weeks then another 3 weeks in plaster   said even best case it'll be 3-4 months before I'm cleared to ride

well as long as you can still ride thats the important thing.

yeah it coulda been worse, especialy if I hadn't had the gear on   gives me plenty of time to do that 643 build I've been wanting to do just need to find an extra set of hands    I'm drugged to hell and back right now in the last 5 hours I've had full doses of demerol,morphine and some other drug they tried cause none of them were working very fast,,,,,,,,it's all catching up now

You'll be right ride once things are mended. 

I have a plate in my right wrist from a bike accident 11 years ago. I had to have my wrist reconstructed & the plate put in to hold every thing together was left in. I had nearly six months off work & have 30% loss of movement in the wrist & hand. I got back on a bike 4 years after the accident, so you'll be fine sunshine.

I Well Hope i dont have a accident , im a drummer, so i need my elbows , Knees , Wrists And Ankles,

Get well soon buddy

doc said everything went well and I should be for the most part functionally good as new in a month and a half   no nerve or muscle damage and I should only need a minimal amount of therapy   said to be safe no contact sports or riding for 4 months though   everything went really well in surgery   the doc was even surprised

Did they finally detect the brain damage?  I mean...  I know it was preexisting, but maybe you could blame it on the crash.

naw.....thats the army's fault I got hit a lot in basic training

BTW: I was told that my aorta runs the opposite direction from normal peoples, doesn't really affect anything, just wierd
