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.

Got the mummy wrapping off this morning. My view for the last 3 weeks.

Now aircast. Supposed to flex knee and ankle a couple times a day (ankle has to be with cast off).Still non weight bearing for 3 more weeks. Then I start physical therapy.

Decided to keep the bike. Foot Pegs (oem) , brake reservoir (ebay) , right mirror (ebay) , oil fill plug (oem) , battery fairing piece (Amazon), and windshield (not decided) all need replaced. Dent in tank can be fixed. Cost of parts minus dent fix is less than $600. One of the zippers will need replaced on saddle bag. Probably not going to replace aftermarket highway pegs (the right one took the brunt of the force).

Going to be on scrap title til I can get the work done and get it safety inspected to get it on a rebuilt title. Decent payout from insurance especially after I sent in receipts of the work I did on it in April (16,000 mile service by dealer, new tires, sprocket, and chain by me). Most of that money is going to getting my 2012 taco headgasket replaced currently. Was going to be doing that this fall. Caught early, coolant leaking to atmosphere, machine marks still visible with no pitting and no need to deck the surface.

Some scraping of muffler tips but I don't care as much about that. Will likely get a mustang seat for it whenever I get to doing the work. Not riding til next summer at the earliest.

Fixing tank dent will likely get it painted like one of the factory styles but dark blue in place of red.

I think your leg is looking pretty good at this point. Hope you continue to heal well.

The pic of the leg was just after the wrapping came off. Wife helped me wash it later so now the skin looks less orange and with less dead skin on it.

No frame tweaks?

Good job on the healing, and intentions. Great goal. Surpass that!

Bro this is why even though I “want” another bike, I haven’t done it.

At 55 I just don’t have the reflexes I once did and I heal up SLOW.

Swim with sharks, wrestle alligators, keep venomous snakes or ride bulls or motorcycles. It's not if, it's when and how bad. Welcome to the club.

So an update .
Orthopede says aw yeah you're released , good to go . Hand Surgeon says August 25 . Sweet except . I wake up 4-5 times a night in fuggin agony . Last visit with Orthopede I mention again " hey my shoulders is jacked in pain " . Ortho says let's look . Pulls up cat scan and oh , OH !! Let's get an x-ray. Yeah fractured shoulder , maybe torn Labram. .
So from the 1st night to this point I'm bitchin about pain in my shoulder ." Well we're just goin with the big breaks and amputation".
I asked multiple times about my hand as it was smacking guardrail posts same as my forearm . "We don't think they're fractured" .
So I will qualify . I have a 17 and a half inch stack of MRIs and XRAYs from 30 yrs of combative Martial Arts . Every Rank , Belt ,Glove Coloure, ranking etc all from fighting . No forms . No points .
Ok Phillipino Fighting Sticks . Sorry one time . I'm not gay . Well maybe a little bit I digress . They showed me on screen X-rays and MRIs and gues what ? Those fuckin lines in my fingers are fractures . Ok . Fractures are not closed distal or separations they'll heal . The shoulder ? Da Fuck .
Anybody here have shoulder surgery? Yeah , 4 months recovery.
I'm 2 months plus in Duckweed . My employer won't wait forever and I have only been employed there 8 months . 8 months equals no FLA let alone 40 percent of my pay . Oh yeah . Disability is 60 percent of your pay by law except we cap it at an arbitrary number .
But wait there's more . Occupational Therapy is ehh . I've been researching my injuries and treatment and . ,Tens relieves pain . Ultrasound increase blood flow for amputations and skin graft . Dexterity exercises? Yeah ok . Had to ask and push for ultrasound. Purchased my own TENS Unit . Playdough at home . C'mon. Purchased marbles for dexterity exercises at home . Mentioned it to OT and "Oh yeah that's great for this " . Why the fuck am I doin this on my own .
I will not lay the fuck down . I will recover if it costs a fuckin limb . Notice I didn't say who's limb .
Pissin me the fuck off only motivates me to crush this on my own so I can tell the OP You suck and I did this .
Ziploc bags full of nuked rice increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Same with massage.
Rant off and good to remind myself that I eat adversity like MILF ass .
Edit : I eat adversity like MILF ass .
Ok I'm illiterate but you fucks already knew that .
