Well, ladies and gentlemen, I messed up. Wednesday afternoon I was too enthusiastic and mad in my attempt at killing a fly in the windowpane in front of my desk. There was an ambulance, blood everywhere, three hours in surgery to repair sliced veins, tendons and nerves, and prayers to *** that I wouldn’t lose my right forearm.
So far so good.
As you can imagine, it’s been difficult to post. As a right-handed man, doubly so.
All is working right now but my wrist will be difficult to operate for a while. I’ll need weeks and maybe months of extended physical therapy before I can ride again. Rest assured that I will.
In the meantime, our FREEDOM or DEATH MACHINE Bash is still on, I just won’t be riding.
I hope to be discharged tomorrow morning and I’m sure to have fifty emails waiting that I don’t even want to see tonight. I’ll try to get some things up tomorrow that have been waiting. Please have patience, guys. I’ll do the best I can to keep bikerMetric fresh while I’m gimpy.
