Truly awesome. I can hear it now. "Is there a doctor in the house?" Life is like a box of chocolates... and so are forums.
Great story about your doc. My surgeon doesn't ride, but isn't anti-bike either. He supports my riding and my ultimate frisbee league activities. And he has a personality which I think is rare for an orthopedic surgeon!
Almost every one of my scars came via motorcycles, but not every one has a good story attached to it. I wanted to tattoo a ziper pull on the front of my knee after my first ACL reconstruction, but the scar was disappointingly small. I was slightly bummed about that... ScarredChick
Sorry to hear you're layed up BA. My husband broke his ankle two weeks before we were going to do a week long dual sport ride on the MCCCT. I forgave him...eventually!
Oh, BTW, the Doc is doing the surgery tommorow, Wed. 1/7. Hope your surgery went well Gary. We'll compare scars (12/17 rotator cuff) on the WNC Husky / ADV ER rides. Mid-Atlantic riders: I can get two more Huskies on the trailer. Ping me if you're interested in attending either event. The western NC mountains won't disappoint ... Dudes do indeed appreciate warrior women! My wife has been playing soccer for most of her 52 yrs. She's acquired some interesting bodywork along the way. Soon after we met in 87 I attended one of her indoor games. She got cheap-shotted early on, the other woman disappeared over the barrier late in the game. Bring some discs down to Joe's gig gandalf!!!
I'll definitely bring some. I used to play disc golf too. I wonder if there are any courses up there?
Yo Louge, what's happenin? BentAero is my homie/official sweep rider/singletrack slayer compadre. Heard the news yet? I'm now DS'n a Husky WR250 smoker...life is now fun again. Holler at me bud!
I feel your pain BentAero - literally. Three ACL recons for me, all motorcycle related - but hey - do stuff, get hurt :cripple: Hope the surgery went well and heal up fast! Rehab - and don't rush getting back on the bike. Best!
