Smileyman's House of Pain!

I think he's been covering his ass. But the obvious answer is don't crash again! I have reservations about going back to the track and risking permanent disability, but then again this was a racing on the highway kinda crash. I just don't know how to discipline myself i guess. Sure not going to quit riding...

Orthopedists and er guys always rag on motorcyclists because of the inherent dangers of our sport, and say dont ride. But the ortho guys prolly want us to keep riding since we give them business

You definitely could be right about him. Yeah I totally understand about "how to discipline myself"...I've got the same problem...I do try..."most" of the time.

So I got my plate out the 20th. And today the 26th i went back for hopefully the last time. Dr says it looks good, is a strong union and I can go play. No heavy lifting for 6 weeks, but I do feel like I am healed. He tells me the collar bone is perfectly positioned and although a chunk is missing I will have full use of it.

Hmmm maybe shoulda resized those. Anyways I will use the bone stimulator and take my calcium and vitamin D supplements until all the screw holes and seems are solid, then in 6 weeks start really working on the muscle groups. 15 weeks 3 days of sitting on my ass has eroded alot of my strength.
