SO?? Howz the leg?

Guess the ADV folks are keeping your attention away from your pain- I hope.

Beats livin' in Mexico on the border, huh?

Had about 16 ADV folks over last night, great time but I overexerted myself way too much. Felt nauseous from the pain and had to lay down while the party raged on. Good people, Paula and I will miss them when we move.

Dave, I thought you just moved. :shock:

Or are you talking about the move south in the future.

Moving from NY to NC? I did that when I was young, them good old boys are going to have fun with you. But one of the best places I have lived, plan on a trip there when I hit the States at the end of April (last time there was 11 years ago).

by **Off the grid** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 8:34 pm

Ya, we planned a Jan 2011 move. Not sure how much being out of work for 3-4 months will delay that.

I guess whatever God has in store for us we will go with. Hard for Paula though, as tough, organized, hardworking and loving as she is the one thing she lacks is the innate feeling that everything will work out, much as I point out our history, she worries incessantly. Again, I try to have her reflect at our past together, all the hurdles and obstacles we have overcome already, the times of sickness and slim wallets, broken down cars and unemployed for 2 months....it's always worked out. And usually after the crisis we are often in a better spot than we were in before!

Don't get me wrong, I love my wife to death and she is the best person I know, but we are polar opposites in regards to crisis management.

I think it's a woman thing, but it drives me fkn crazy to keep having to play cheerleader. (about our future mostly)

Can't say enough about the job she is doing with me laid up. Pretty much everything she is taking care of.

Dave,

I'm very sorry to hear the bad news! Take care of yourself and try not to stress out.

Since I rarely find time to ride, I've had comfort knowing that people like you are putting on mile for me. I appreciate your enthusiasm for riding and look forward to hearing that you have completely recovered.

Remember that preparing for a trip can be half the fun. Your time spent laid up in bed is a good time to plan your next long trip!

Take care.

Hey "gimpy" :lol:

How about an update on the leg? Inquiring minds want to know.......

by **Off the grid** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:46 pm

Hey thanks John....well the leg is doing awesome. I graduated to crutches and then a cane just 2 days ago. Spending a lot of time out in the garage and doing my physical therapy. I can walk (with a serious limp) but can put my weight on it now, which means I don't have to sit to put on pants or shoes.

I hope to be riding again in a month, and back to work on July 1st. The MD took some films last week and said everything looks fantastic.

Hi, Dave,
Well, if the films look fantastic, they are obviously not photos of your face! :twisted:

Glad to hear you are getting better and FAST!

I suggest you sit to put your pants on - people have been known to break a leg doing that shit standing up!!!

Dave,

GREAT to hear about your progress!

You are obeying rehab/orthopod instructions, RIGHT?

Be well.

John

Dave, you said, and I quote, "That's gonna leave a mark." :wink:

So.....let's see this said mark.

Trouble maker - you better go get another job, girl!

by **SugarHillCTD** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:54 am

Howz about a leg status update there, big guy?

Has Paula recovered from you being at home? :lol:

Funny you should ask John, I see the Orthopod today at 3pm and go back to work full duty tomorrow at 8am. :shock:

That's going to SUCK after sleeping till noon every day for the last 3 months!

(but alas I value a paycheck more than sleeping like a teenager)

by **SugarHillCTD** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:20 pm

Welcome back to the real world, Dave :lol:

Seriously, GREAT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LEG.

John

by **Flying Duck** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:24 pm

Glad to hear you're "normal" again.

Be careful putting your pants on tomorrow.

by **robleyd** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 10:44 pm

I guess this could be seen as another reason why the Scots invented the kilt

by **drikko** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 10:59 pm

I suspect FD was more comcerned that he actually remembered to put his pants on, especially seeing as he probably hasn't put any on for 3 months.....

by **Scott_Anderson** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:56 pm

Dave, better yet, don't do it alone, let Paula help you. :wink:

Or do you need a 'lifealert' pendant. :lol:
