Glad your back...best wishes for your recovery!

JCZ, glad to see you are on the mend.  I wish you a speedy and full recovery!

While my injuries were not to the extent of yours, I know what you are going through.  For the first 3-4 weeks, I did a lot of thinking and evaluating in my mind (it is more frustrating than theraputic).  Your history on two wheels is long and it sounds very fulfilled.  My first reaction was to be done riding, and then many people on the site told me to just worry about healing and do not make any decisions one way or another when everything is very emotional.  I did just that and well, today, I get my bike back.  I made the decision to ride again, and I can't wait to ride it home.  Like you stated in your post, it is something that I need to do also.  Who knows, after a ride or two, I may realize that it is not for me anymore, but I at least need to get back on.

It is such a personal decision and I very much respect yours.  Best of luck to you and your family.  I look forward to seeing your posts in the future.

Well, the Phisical Therapist is going to recommend that they release me to go home this week.  She said that there is nothing else that they can do with me at this point, till I can put weight on my left leg or arm (that's still several weeks out).

So, I'm very anxious for the Doctor to come buy this morning!  It's been four weeks, today.

They're also going to take xrays of my jaw today, to see if it's time to take the wires out.  Wish me luck.

Hey JC,
Glad to see you back on the board again. It was kinda quiet without you.

Good to hear the patter of your little fingertips again. [smiley=yes.gif]
prayin' for your speedy recovery. [smiley=biker.gif]

Thanks again, you guys.

Well, to my surprise, they sent me home last night.  Yep, exactly four weeks after the accident, I'm back in my own home!   My wife was a little freaked out about it, at first (my staying home alone, all day long) but I think she's adjusting now.

It sure feels good to be home.  They changed my pain medication when they discharged me yesterday.  I was awake and in pain all night.  I finally took two of the pain pills this morning and everything seemed to settle back down.

I have to shoot myself in the stomach with a drug that's supposed to prevent blood clotting.  That's going to be kind of interesteing.  We'll see how that goes, tonight.

Good to here JC nothing like HOME SWEET HOME.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hey there JC, was walkin by my computer and thought I heard you poking your head in around here! Looks like you are at one of those life change junctions. They usually bring some trepidation, perhaps some short term depression due to missing a certain lifestyle or whatever-- but the payoff is you get a whole bunch of excitement. Kinda like a new dawn feeling. Nothing wrong with "been there--done that" when it comes to riding--or anything for that matter. Trust me--when I feel it--should it come-- I'm gone. This is one dangerous hobby to dabble with without good reason. "Because I really want to" was the good reason I told my wife!. Good thing I'm not an attorney! Till that time I'll just have to buy more armor and drive slower! Christ--I'm already down to 30mph on the highway and 5mph on back roads! Guess I'll have to get off and push soon! I'll just have to start bugging Naitram and the others now that my training wheels are coming off!

Sooooooooo.....new toys huh? Cabin cruiser? Sure JC! I'll beleive it when I see it. You're gonna be out shopping for the boat--probably at some boat show--having a ball--and you're gonna see one of those cigarette boats--tripple jet drive engine--tripple turbo--nitrous injection--and on, and on..........next you'll be posting pics of your boat--"Look guys the hull and engines completely out of the water--you can see the jet stream coming out of the lower units!"

I think it might be time to let some of the "old fogey" out from inside you. If you don't think that will work, the next time you need some bloodwork or some medical tests, or the next operation you need in your recovery--tell the docs psycho said to take out some testosterone from your system--that 'll do it! Glad you're back. [smiley=smoking.gif]

JCZ, on a different note, you may want to consider training as an MSF instructor.  You have a lot to teach, and years and years of experience that people could benefit from.

I wish you well in your future, and respect your decision to give it up.  God Bless.

JC,

hows the recovery going?

[JCZ]

JC,

hows the recovery going?

I have ups and downs.  Last week was pretty good, but this week is starting out a little rougher.  I go on Thursday to get xrays, to see if I'm going to be able to use the left leg, as is.  Otherwise, I'll be going back for another surgery for a bone transplant.

I'd never heard of a "bone transplant" before.  Basically, they  go to a bone bank, get the bone, grind it up and pack it in around the pulverized bone.  Doesn't sound like something I want to do but I do want to walk again.

I'm at home alone, during the day.  The days get long and lonely and of course, I have my head to deal with.  It never shuts up or turns off!  I read a lot, pray  a lot (especially that this leg will be good as it is) and spin a lot.  Any suggestions Psycho?

I look at the site at least once a day.  It is painful in my wheelchair, so I don't post a whole lot right now.  I am lurking, thow.

I want to thank all of you again, for your thoughts and prayers!

[naitram]

[mr_magoo]

Good to hear from you JC how the Xrays are ok,  you are still in our thoughts and prayers.
