It's gonna be a long road ahoe...a loooong road ahoe...

I'm hangin' in there, Bomb. I get to ditch the crutches next week and start physical therapy about the same time. Like I told Herzalot, I'm getting fat: a spare tire is developing around my belly, my right leg is a toothpick, and my ass cheeks are not even close to symmetrical anymore.
On the bright side, I started driving again last week and found alternative riding opportunities to keep me sane during my sabbatical from MTB. Stay tuned for a ride report!
 
No flippin' WAY!
Oh I believe it . . . .that is completely...

This is a photo of my botched surgery...notice the anchor button about 4mm away from the femur....that's no good.


This photo is a week later with the graft replaced and the anchor button in the proper position. At least I know moving forward that if that button moves again that the graft has failed.

@Redman , I crashed on Sunday afternoon on HorseTrail Downhill at Marshall Canyon. I was 3 seconds ahead of my PR when I missed a right turn into a steep roller, and I ate it. I was able to ride an additional 8 miles without pain, but things got real poopie when the adrenaline and workout faded that night. Yea @blixet , sneezing is one of the worst things right now.

Hey! While you are down for the count, the new Amazon account on imtbtrails is now available! Amazon sells all the things you need for ribs, bandages, ice packs, lounge chairs, hammocks, coolers, aspirin, latte coffee makers, all your Christmas shopping for next year, and even a new Wolfie outfit if the Misses tossed.

Too soon?


Feel better Chicken Nuggets!

Technically, you can't make a latte with a coffee maker. You need an espresso maker... You know, small cups and raised pinkies. For the more discerning palette.

Dang dude! Can you still paly daddy horsey with your kids? I hope you get better fast.

No horsey for a while. We like to play "Mountain Daddo" where they basically tromp on me and get tickled and squiggled while I get a massage; yea that's a no go for a while. I cant even pick them up right now. I can pedal a bike, but it's hard to mount and dismount my commuter since it doesn't have a dropper. No MTB for at least a few weeks...maybe.
