Man I feel for you. I am still out with all most 2 months of sitting and hoping that I will get my left MCL fixed. Try to get that worked out bro. Peace

Bummer about your injury Fred. Hope the healing goes quick.

Well,

Tomorrow's the big day. Prayers and Thoughts please. After this, the recovery count-down starts. I'll never be further from riding again than I am right now. And I'll be back on the bike as soon as I can possibly manage.

Thanks!!!

I didnt read all the posts, but that looks a hell of alot like what mine looked like earlier this year. I seriously doubt your getting surgery, but I canbet your going to be in a cast for awhile. Relax, dont be a retard like me and try to push it.

THAT is what they'll pin back in place. I'm unsure of the the soft-tissue issues yet, but we'll address that tomorow I suppose. as far as 2nd opinions, I'm meeting with a PA tomorrow. The doc is a C^%K, but I really get the impression he knows WAAAAY more than he let on. He took one look at my X-ray (before the CT was done) and said he wanted to put the broken piece of bone back where it belongs, and said If I had ligement damage over the capital-carpal bone, he'd want to address that too.

This thread is really just silly rhetoric, informational, and entertaining. I Really need your prayers, thoughts, advice, and moral support. Not just convincing to do it.

Nevermind, I didnt read the part about it being pushed back, thats extra not good.

Oh yeah, go through the PT, youll need it to get full mobility back.
