Not gonna buff out

Prayers for all those above who shared some damn nasty hospital pics.
Gives me the shivers.
Wish you speedy and complete recoveries

Rode dirt bikes all my life, no bad wrecks. A few street bikes sprinkled in for the hell of it

Decided I needed a bucket list Harley.
Got a real nice 04 Electra Glide but never really felt comfortable on it.
After 3 years riding amongst the idgits on the roads I let her go and don't miss it at all now that it's gone

My submission.

Had one of those installed at C6-7 last night. Probably caused by the infantry life of Kevlar helmets etc and breaking T10-L2 over 15 years ago which has caused kyphosis and placed long term pressure on the cervical spine. Surprisingly got home today.

Still laughing at how my wife asked the surgeon if I’d need to modify my weight training to prevent further damage (C5-6 isn’t happy either) and he straight up shut her down telling me to keep lifting and change nothing.

10 year followups have excellent results.

Ah, @Alphatreedog you're a double-winner, I think you take this one. Displacement of distal radial and ulnar shafts, it looks like?

How is the PT/OT going for your arm? Are you having any issues with the wrist or hand?

Start PT this week I hope . Everyone I called to try and get into had upcoming holiday itis .

Yeah I’ve spent a solid amount of time making sure this was the best option and they seem to be bloody robust. Thankfully it’s not needed lower down as I’ve also read that they usually end up with fusion of lower vertebrae when placed from thoracic down. Was supposed to have it done two years ago but that surgeon must have just bought his wife/mistress a new Maserati as he tried to sting me for three surgeries instead of just this one. Nerve block two weeks ago didn’t solve this flare so this was the next step for discussion.
