As somebody who just went through the going down thing in March, I can definatelly sympathize with you. I was definately lucky also and wearing a helmet thankfully. I went from one who hardly ever wore a helmet to one that almost always wears one now. I also went through the broken ribs along with a seperated shoulder and yes it just plain hurts to cough, laugh and especially sneeze. I wish you the best on your recovery and my prayers are with you. I, myself am a Police Officer and we, like fireman, kind of have our own special family amongst our co-workers. I am sure your brothers will take good care of you!

I watched a Discovery TV Sturgis program a while ago and remember that Peter Fonda hit a deer in one of his trips to Sturgis and he makes a brindis :BEER FOR A DEER  [smiley=2vrolijk_09.gif] everytime that he passes for the same place...so DC and V...you can do the same and still enjoy the life!!!

I'm glad that you guys are ok and get well soon......

Glad to hear you both came off not too badly in the circumstances! Here in the Scottish highlands, we have deer all over the place - they live in my garden, even, so I know what the fear of hitting one is. Missed one (in the car!) yesterday by a coat of paint as it ran out of nowhere across the road.

Get well soon, both of you!

Thanks again to everyone. I am still sore as hell but making progress. If it wasn't for the ribs I would be good to go. Fun day today, get to see the FD Doctor. I can't wait wait to hear the reaction.

V is making great progress also with the exception of her right ankel. She gives me hell about not laying around and taking it easy, I think she needs to take care of that ankel. After all we need to be healed up for MV.

Oh boy, not the motorcycle lecture I hope...........oh well, the ribs, well as you know those puppies are going to keep talking to you for awhile longer than the Doc.  

Can't recall how long exactly, but I do remember I broke or cracked mine the last week of September hunting in New Mexico (not a hunting thing, stupid guy trick) and when I sneezed in my Jeep a month later while bumping along a mountain trail in the dust.......well, I think that actually fractured one of them that was most likely well on the way to healing.....damn that sneeze hurt and I knew it was coming and couldn't do a damn thing about it either.

Speedy recovery and good luck with the Doc [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

No no motorcycle lecture, even I was suprised. Did tell me since I saw my personel doc first, I would need a note from her before they would let me return to duty!!!!! Man it is a good thing I am on my own sick leave!!! I could milk this one thill the end of the year.

No reply from "V" that suprises me toooo.

Well, you see, my momma taught me that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!!   [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  

But you wanted a response, so here ya go!  I don't have to tell anyone on here how stubborn you are or that you're going to overdo it!!  They all were just as surprised as I was that you signed on and was typing with broken ribs or that you'd entertain the idea of riding Pumpkin home (even in a narcotic-induced stupor) so soon after the accident!!  I'm just glad you care more about that bike than you do yourself!  At least you won't take any chances breaking it!!!

That's what my momma said also.  She relented after I remained mute for six months. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Well you could have gave them an update while you were here!  

UPDATE:  JUST PLAIN STUBBORN!

During our earlier phone conversation, I was pleased to learn that you can teach an old Dawg new tricks!!!   LOL!  He's actually learning to rest and take it easy instead of trying to do everything as if he's not hurt.  He even accepted help from his brother and friends today!  Isn't that amazing?

Actually, DC is like the Energizer Bunny.  He's typically always on the go and rarely stops.  As Duane and Fired00d will tell you, firefighters are used to "running a tight ship" with everything in its place.  The fact that he can't do anything is killing him!  His normal routine was take a painkiller, be miserable until it took effect, be fooled into thinking he was ok by reduction of pain, then he'd try to clean up or work or TYPE, then the painkiller would wear off and he couldn't figure out why he hurt so badly!!!  Saturday and Sunday, he slept or rested just about all day.  It obviously did some good because he said he can get up/down better and it is easier to get out of bed.  So, progress is made.  I just hope he doesn't do something stupid and reinjure himself!  It'd be a shame for Punkin to sit over at Zippers waiting on him!

Well he has been laying around. He is still sore as hell (ribs only). Road rash looking good. The deep bruise on the right hip(that I never knew I had) is clearing up. Get to see my FD doctor on 8/11 and I think I may get to go back to work. It sure is boring just hanging around the house watching every hunting,fishing and history TV shows. But hey it's just like getting another education.
