Injury Update Thread

[Dirtbikindad393]

OK all you injured reserve riders give us your updated prognosis.

We want to hear what the outlook for your return to riding.

We also want to hear how you have progressed from your injury.

Well it has been 3 weeks since I had my surgery. If any of you didn't know on April 10th I tore my ACL, torn Meniscus and broke my Tibia (front shin bone) on my right leg. Surgery went great. No real problems and have been doing P.T. for a week now. I will be on crutches for another 3 weeks. As far as any riding goes...not until October they say. Looks like I will be missing most of the season. Oh well, this gives Faded a chance to live the best of both worlds being able to ride his 2-smoke and my CRF!

It'll be a week tomorrow since I had surgery to re-replace my right ACL which came about from a horrific frisbee accident. I start PT on Tuesday the 18th and should be riding again starting in November.

My knee injury is fully healed and I'm back 100% riding again. However today I collided with a rider in Mid-Air about 15 feet off of the ground when he jumped right across my line. I ate it hard and now am having trouble walking without pain in my lower back.

[Dirtbikindad393]

Oh man I hope your ok WhyZee

To top it off it happened on my 2nd lap of practice. I managed to ride about 8 laps in the next practice and then went home in blinding pain. I can walk around "ok", but going from sitting to standing or vice versa causes absolute blinding pain. I'll see how it feels tomorrow and make the decision to see a doctor about it.

[Dirtbikindad393]

Buldging disc Whyzee go see the Doc!

[04whyzee]

Great to hear. I start my new job at Discount Tire busting tires tomorrow too!!!

Ouch!! What track were you riding? I hope you feel better and don't need the doc.

I was at Burleson MX in Burleson, TX. The track was a lot of fun. I would have had more fun had that bonehead not knocked me off my bike in mid-air. I'm starting to hate riding public MX tracks because it seems like there is always a few riders out there that practice like they are racing. Yes I know the only way to get fast is to go fast but you don't have to ride balls to wall at all costs when you are practicing. I heard the guy coming up on my left side and knew he was going to make a pass on me. I made my best attempt to get out of his way but he still felt the need to cut the jump and knock me off my bike.

IKES! Hope you are feeling better whyzee. Shifting, damn, I had no clue you had so many injuries. I hope all the PT goes well and you feel stronger soon!

mxerhale, I know how dangerous playing frisbee can be. Isn't that why we all had to resort to riding bikes? Good luck on your PT!

I go in for surgery for my ACL reconstruction June 16th.

DBD, how's the arm and thumb doing know that you have that cast off?

Well actually its not bad. I start PT tomorrow to continue rehabbing my wrist from the surgery. MY thumb isn't quite healed yet so I will be a good boy for at least 3 more weeks and not ride. I truely hope to be riding in a month or so. If i am not I might go crazy and need to be commited to a hospital.

Dane this is why you need to move closer to me and Andrew. We could sit around and BBQ and tell lies and throw back a few and enjoy our time off the bikes but nnnnooooooooo! Somebody wants to live in the nice sunny So-Cal weather!

Seems to me there would be more BBq weather down here. I think you guys need to come down here so we can bench race while watching Faded ride our bikes keeping them in good shape for us.

Well shoot, Faded can't ride three bikes at one time, guess I'll need to come down and help him out.

Come on girlfriend you will have many choices of bikes to ride. I hear Zoo's is free too!

[char393]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dirtbikindad393]

Anyway I can't wait to ride full speed again or should I say 100%.

[nappers]

Yeah, Char, I need you to keep the fiddy and the KX happy. I'm sure they're gonna hate me after making them sit still sooooooooooooooooooo long.

Since I won't be able to ride, a couple of months after my surgery, I will be busy getting my sano chromolly frame for my fiddy powdercoated, as well as my rear hub, and a few more select items, and then put on my new swingarm.

That's just the start of the projects to keep me busy and still close to my bike. I have more projects to keep me busy, or else I'll just go crazy.

This summer is going to be a hard one! At least I can bench race and tell all my friends that if I was able to ride I'd be kicking their arses!
