Question Walking Wounded update???

Just wondering how the healing is going on some of our tribe:

Keith (broken arm)
George (PO)
Mudman (ankle)
Barry (shoulder)
Number7s (broken tibial spine)
Chumba Jason (right arm, toe)
CC (knee & abraisions)... although she looked great at the recent Newbie Ride>>>
Jeff (Hoosierdaay) (fluid on knee)
Choas' wife Gail (ankle)
Nam (finger)
SAR-BOATS (smoking)... yeah, that's bad for you too!
Jeff (J-Sims) (broken toes)


there's probably others that I'm forgetting...but please bring us all up to date on the latest info.

Quite a list .... no?

My arm has developed a cracking sound (!!) got to go back to the orthopedic centre tomorrow for some x-rays but it sounds (and feels) like one of the bones has broken jsut where it has healed - so I may well be back in another cast :-(
Will I ever get to ride on dirt again in 2007?!!

Dude that sucks. I hope it's not serious and it's just ligaments healing.

Winning the lottery sounds good, running a country, regardless of size, I'm not so sure about, unless Whistler became it's own country!

Ankle doesn't hurt too much anymore, although no discoloration-My ankle is still at a tennis ball size swell.I guess healing is okay- It definitely won't stop me from riding though.

Thanks for asking sir!

I'm doing good, back on the bike for Commuting and have found an untapped treasure trove of local (rarely used) horse trails for more aggressive PT, and in about a 2 weeks I plan to hit real dirt.

I know I'm not on the list, but It's probably cause I acted so tough when I broke it

Keith, hope the appointment goes well--we don't have to put off the beach cruise, do we? Pretty soon you're going to long for wheels so hard that they'll grow out your feet

I have been taking it easy just moving my arm a little at a time. It still hurts real bad. I have been waiting on the approval to get the MRI bit its taking forever.
I have a lot of pain although I can now move it but only enough to put it over my head. If I have anything in my hand it huts way to much.
I keep working it. I think that is the fastest way for me to heal.
I might be riding the loop tomorrow really slow. If I have to cut the ride and pull a short cut I will. I will be on a secret bike you will have to see it for your self its a prototype. If anyone wants to roll with me at a slow pace let me know .

Default That sounds like a plan

You should come to the shop tomorrow and check this thing out it looks and rides nice.
You should take it for the whole weekend.
I will tune it up on Thursday so its ready to go.
We need your feedback . I might bring the old style EVO and the new one and compare them.
Where have you been? It would be cool if you could come to Interbike for the week and help us.
It's right around the corner.
Who can take a whole week off though? Hmmm

Gregg,

Seems like it's all better, just have to keep on riding and get back into the shape I was in before the accident.
