Heal fast. Knowing when and how we messed up has to help us in the long run.

Sorry to hear of your injuries. But thank you for sharing and for not blaming everyone else for this. A lot of people don't think about motorcycles when they leave their mess on the road. But we have to always be ultra alert. This is a good reminder for me as one local road here always uses oil and stones to smooth it out, every spring, and it's the major road out of my development.

Hope you heal quickly and 100%

my condolences, wish you a fast recovery

Good morning friends at CVO.....

I'd like to thank all of you for your well wishes.  Brings a persons spirit up, no doubt.



Surgeon visit yesterday afternoon..... looks like some infection has started, but antibiotics to the rescue.  

Somehow,when I was in the Hospital, I got the idea that it would be 4 weeks and done.........?  Hmmmmm?

I guess it was the morphine listening..... Surgeon says that the average recovery time is 4 MONTHS!  Holy crap.....  not only is that a long time of sitting around, but my employer is not libel to be 'happy' about this.  Actually, I was out for 4 months last year with spine fusion surgery, same employer( spine is great, no issues).  So, I am wondering if anyone in this community can share their real recovery to this "rod in leg" situation.


Thanks again for all of the well wishes!

Sincerely,

Gearheadfmc(Tony)

Hi Tony,
I broke the Radius Bone (Main bone in your forearm) when i was in my late 20s,
I came off a Ducati 916 at about 80mph, i was so lucky! got a few burns tuff the leathers and  that was about it! (apart from my arm!) as i was sliding (seemed to go on forever!) i hit a cub forearm first! luckily this flipped me up and was the only part of me that took any real impact!
As far as the recover, it was tuff and again seemed to go on forever, its just the boredom and not doing what you usually do from day to day that gets you down,
BUT!
After 3 months i fealt great and after 5 months i was back in the Gym, Boxing!
Now its just a distant memory, something i talk about in a Bar or something i think about when i want to remember that some how i got a second chance!
Soldier on with it and im sure in the not so distant future you will feel the same,
Good Luck and dont let it change your life,
Charlie

Sorry to read about your accident and your injury. Good that you weren't going any faster when it happened.

We don't heal as quickly as we get older, but I hope you heal well and are able to walk normally and ride again soon!

Sorry to read of your mishap Gearhead but thank you for sharing. Hopefully this will serve as a headsup for the rest of us well-seasoned riders that might take something like that for granted. Wishing you a speedy, pain-free recovery.

Sorry to hear of your accident. Get well soon!

If your state has it start the state disability paperwork. Needs to be done on line here. There is a little waiting period for it to kick in. Hope you heal fast but it will take every bit of that 4 months. I shattered my  leg at the knee both bones and it took 6 months before the full leg cast was off. That was about 30 years ago so you may be faster. People with knee replacements and hip replacements are walking within a few days. Start the FMLA request if you haven't. Best wishes. Take lots of stool softener too

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Sorry to read of your fall & resulting body damage.  Just be glad you were wearing the protective gear as that low speed fall is where it really pays off and w/o the helmet & leathers you'd probably have suffered much more damage.  No matter how much experience we have, ea. ride can produce hazards that can take us out.  Wishing you the best in the healing process and keep us informed as to how it's going.  spyder
