Keep us posted on your progress.

Man! Steve
That does suck , real glad to hear Nelson walked way unscathed.
I’m also glad I didn’t have to read this before the Bennington Bash.
I know how much we were all looking forward to going.
I am also glad that at least you are here to tell us about this.
Did The Doc. give you a time frame for when you will be healed up?
How bad is the bike will you get her back on the road?
Will insurance help you in any way with getting the bike fixed?
How is Donna taking all of this?
It is a very good thing you have some kind of disability insurance
it sounds like you will be out of work for quite a wile.
Sorry for all the questions, Get some rest and heal up quick.
______________Hang in here brother and I hope to see you again._________________
A.2 weeks with this Surgical splint, after that 6 weeks in another type, after that we will see if I can bear a load on it ?So maybe awhile until I can get into the swing of things.
B.It's all paint and chrome pride. Fixable. Want to double check the steering though.
C. Probably, but I'm not going to file a claim.
D. At first when I reached her by phone she was freaking the fuck out, crying , etc. She calmed down when she went into CNA mode ( Her Profession)She gave me a bath today and I can honestly say "I Sparkled" LMAO . One other issue that was on my mind was that I Asked Nelson if he trusted me after what happened , because I was afraid of that. He fully understands that we had not many given opportunities at the time with on-coming traffic and the such...........As he said....."We gotter done, Dad!" You ought to meet Nelson.. He's a trip. Ever see Home Alone ?............. Nelson

Have the best weekend possible and I am sure Nelson will enjoy this tale for a lifetime. I can hear the story at Bennington Bash 10 yep dad crashed got fucked up and I walked away with out a scratch and then the laughing begins any crash you can tell the story is better then the one that you dont. Glad your going to be okay now turn into a posting whore give the rest of us something to do.

Listen, I've spent way too much time with medical professionals (I won't bore you with the long story here...) but anyway. I have a 6" titanium plate and 6 screws on my left tibia (3rd base doesn't move...), and one of my best friends is a physical therapist. I STILL (16 years later) can feel a difference in strength between my two legs. It's partially due to other factors (that long story I mentioned), but I will say I WISH I listened to/spent more time with my physical therapist at the time! Now when I work out I'm much more concious of it, for example I do leg presses one leg at a time so I can't favor the other leg.

Moral of the story, listen to, and take advantage of all the help you're offered and you'll be fine!

PS: no drama at the airports.... frankly I'm dissapointed! In fact once time I went thru the scanner when I was 16 and I said "wow nothing?" and the guy was like "what, should it have gone off?" Needless to say I got the full pat down
