regarding brake and throttle pedal modification because of a wound on my leg worst case scenario, is i lose it. best case is its fixed but will still have to drive car wihtout using hte leg, trust me mary has seen the pic of it, and it aint pretty, so that aside, IF i have to relocate my brake and gas pedals 6 to 8 inches to hte left from the stock position, , will i need ot reinforce the shaft of it? or what? i sure as hell hope it aint hte worst case scenario, BUT if it is, teh mod will be permanent, id rather it be the best cse scenario BUT it aint healing lol sooo, idk will be down for a bit. ONCE a doc looks at it. the er doc looked at it said and i quote " damn man, you need to get that looked at" i replied wel lthank you dr obvious" if worst, hell wont be the end of my riding days either. ive broken out autocad, and have coem up wiht an IRS for a gs500 or similar bike
NSFW pic of wound that docs WONT look at

Dang bro that don't look good.
I don't know how to do that but have you seen the hand control set up ?

that's infected. (you already know that) that needs treatment, like pronto.

eff the car, the leg needs attention -now- !

I 2nd that

Nothing is happening yet, im looking at all avenues. if i run hand controls i have to get my license  branded for it. so a no go there. i
was thinking of welding brackets onto shortened pedal shafts if need be. hope i dont have to do none of that shiite

I do hope you don't too

what kind of car/truck? it looks like there is no center console on the floor/transmission tunnel. if possible it might be easier to relocate your right leg over the tunnel to make room for your left leg to operate the pedals without modification!

i'd hate to see a rigged contraption fail and you end up... heaven forbid... worse

Damn it Yama.Go get some Epsom salts as fast as you can.Fill a wash rag full wet the hell out of it and hold them on that wound.Believe me I have had blood poisoning too many times to count with red Streaks running up my Leg.The Epsom salts will Draw out the Infection in nothing flat.Trust me on this.What do you have to lose?A Leg or $3.00 for some Epsom Salts.While you at it get a tube of Icthamol (Black Salve) to bandage it up with this will further Draw out the Infection without Antibiotics.Give the Epsom Salts 3 days tops.If you don't see an Improvement find a Medical Clinic that will take you in.
Damn man got to get you better.I have a Trip in the Planning stages to come down to Clinton and ride the Devils Triangle with you and a Feller that goes by Zoso. He lives in the same town as you.

am  contemplating a trip to the er or waiting on the communist clinic appointment at 10:30am tomorrow

btw car is my 1995 crown vic

+1 for the Epsom Salts

Yeap Epsom Salts has saved my Sorry Ass Several times.Even when you get Help still use the salts.

i would also have to agree with focusing on the leg and not the car, get rid of the infection before it spreads to the point of no return, i've heard way too any horror stories of infections causing amputees. and we cant have a fellow gs'r falling prey to it.

on a side note, i've seen amputee porn stars....       


seriously though, all kidding asside, i hope you get this taken care of soon.

just got back from er a lil while ago. pumped me full of iv antibiotics. time will tell if it works. plus ive got prescriptions for 2 MORE antibiotics for 10 days. now if i can get my back to quit hurting im in good shape lol

glad to hear some progress is being made.
