[konakc]

Rocks in dry sand
Riding in the mist

[Mikie]

I had to know and finally was able to sit at my home desk office to upload my Garmin. Obviously the checkered circle is as far as my bike made it down the trail.
I hit the tree at 13.6 mph. Not as fast as I thought I was going, but apparently fast enough! Ouch?

Well hey, you picked up that third fastest PR on the Ski Mogul section, so you have that going for you!

Man you were on the ground for a long time. Not good.
I am kind of disappointed that you don't have the Strava of the chopper ride. KOMs man.

 

[bvader]

Huh... Didn't know they already made it into a movie... Can you guess who's who?

Deckard is in the dark fur-lined coat.

Just past McGill Campground, was just finishing up the slight climbs, STRAVA Section “Pedal”.

Man after seeing the Strava you're right, you wasted no time calling for help. I had assumed that you laid there for a bit trying to do an inventory and get your bearings but the strava timeline tells me different. I'm assuming the helicopter ride started at roughly the 3:10:00 mark where the strava stops or did the Garmin go dead there? If I had to guess I'd say it was roughly 50 minutes after you made the call till they found you. Pretty damn impressive, those guys were good.

Actually, I cropped the file as it showed everything from moving the bike around to hiking it back up the trail, loading it up, you driving it home, and you riding it ALL WEEK! HEY WAIT A MINUTE!

Lol!

So actually I would have to take ride start time and just add the length of time I rode which we already figured out...
But I knew very quickly I was injured just didn’t know how much.

Gotcha! Someday, maybe we’ll mark your crash spot with some cheesy fake flowers or something

I'm sure glad your sense of humor didn't get knocked out of you.

Maybe we just spray paint a big X on the tree with some "trail sanitizer orange"...

Yeah...turn it into a big fat target people won't be able to avoid.

Don't forget the rock that hit Mikie's pedal as well!

Well as far as I heard somebody was also hanging upside down by his foot after meeting a monster!

 

[Mikie]

Get a lot of Plastic Flowers!
That trail has kicked the bejezzuz out of me in multiple locations!

 

[Mikie]

I removed that dirt embedded rock with my pedal, no longer an issue!
No joke @Maddog! I saw that bad boy before it got dark. It was pulled out of the ground!

Better that than a cross

So true!

Whelp,
Saw the Ortho today.
I guess I can say I’m pleased about the pelvis sitch.

Re-evaluation in 30 Days, no driving or marathon’s without a chaperone. Should take the usual 6weeks for a solid bone growth to be in full swing. Suppose to double my walk time on it each week. Problem is just getting through the pain. I thought collarbones were bad... You don’t have to walk on a collarbone!

The bad news was the news I did not expect and that was my right knee.
From all the cocktails they gave me at the hospital, I was really retaining water. My right knee really blew up! I had, had torn meniscus surgery on it in 1991.
So I thought they needed to go back in there and trim things back up. Wrong!

Doc says, “Uh, Mr. Watson... there is no meniscus to work on. You have ground it down to bone on bone. Your next option is Cortisone shots until that no longer works then it’s remove and replace.” Well THAT’S a bummer! Wtf!


Pic of the upper fracture. The fracture is to the right of the red line:

Pic of the lower fracture. Just above the red line:

The knee, according to my Doc, there should be equal distance on the left as well as on the right:

Close up. The speckles iare apparently advanced stages of arthritis:

Bone on bone baby! I’m Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah... Bad to the Bone! All a Medal of Honor for a guy who has led a full life!

So in 30 Days I get my first Cortisone Shot. And when I can take it no longer, it’s Titanium Terminator spare parts, suckus’!

Yes get the cortisone shots and try to buy some time. Kaiser will give at least 3 rounds before they give up. Close your eyes cause it's a huge f'ing needle and it hurts but I'll bet it works for a couple years or so at least.

Thanks for the update!!! Are you already walking some, beyond just in the house?

Yeah, I got that once... miserable procedure.

Bone on bone baby

That should have been hurting alot, before your accident, no???

 

[CBone]

At least you aren't a distance runner @Mikie . Pedaling a bike is a lot easier on the knees. I think it was all that walking at work that did it.
