boo ya! Oh Happy Day!

[Tweek]

Words cannot describe my happiness.



All I can say is the the good Dr. did an outstanding job fixing me. Now it is up to me. He spent a fair amount (for a doctor) talking to me about PT. He said to stay away from strength training for now. Focus on flexibility first. When my right hand can move like my left then I can begin to work on strength training.

What sucks is that I can tell that this is not going to be comfortable. the tendons are very tight and I'm going to have to work very hard to stretch back out.

But no big deal. Pain is temporary and I can forget all about it once I'm back on the bike.

Oh, being able to type w/ both hands rocks.

I visit the Physical Therapy place tomorrow to begin torturing myself. Cant wait. I wish it was then now.

"Focus on flexibility first."

Sounds like workin' a throttle is just what the doctor ordered!

[jukief]

Your incision looks really good! Congratulations. I bet you'll have your flexibility back in no time at all.

ooh ohh Mad Libs time!

I got this scar in a ____ when I was in _____. Most people think it's from ____, but my story is far _____.

[Tweek]

I believe I've already established that this happened because I went in to the cork screw at Laguna Seca too hot and washed out the front end.

I jumped on the motorcycle and rolled it in to the drive way. I wanted to see how much my wrist can do now. I can twist the throttle ok, not great and it takes effort. Luckily I was in shorts and a t-shirt so there was no way I would go for a test run. So I walked in to the house and asked my wife if she would mind if I threw on a pair of jeans (meaning gear up). She gave me that look followed by "do you have to do it the first day the splint comes off?" meaning - "Like hell you are going anywhere". oh well - tomorrow then.

Oh, the gates are wide open now for my next bike. the guy came today to scope out our backyard for a pool and patio. All I can say is OMG! I wont be hearing any complaints about my next few purchases.

[Tweek]

oh- I also have copies of the x-rays. Once I figure out how to get good pictures I'll post them. should happen in a few days.
