***UPDATE****
Well as some/most of you know I've been gimping around for a bit. Well good news for those that don't know I thought I was facing financial ruin due to not having health insurance. Well turns out I was able to get on husky health care and so far all my bills have been and will be 100% covered, awesome!!!!!
Fast forward to today. I got my MRI results and looks like I tore my meniscus and if it's minimal damage I'll be back up and on my feet within 2 weeks post surgery. If it's a repair I'll be off my feet for roughly 6 weeks then 8-12 weeks of pt. Surgery should be happening sometime in the next 3 weeks
As far as the bike slowly but surely and as $$ allows it's being rebuilt. Currently I've put on new triples and forks with more parts to come. Just like my body I'll rebuild one step at a time.
Lastly again I can't express my gratitude and thanks for everyone's help and generosity getting me through this!!!!!

Monday i finally got to ride my new bike in the dry at TTD and gel'ed with the bike instantly.
Fri: no practice
Sat. Skipped pratice
LWGP: Not much to tell...not the best out lap and started making up time with lots of passing. Then i made a move around the outside of fellow rsp teammate Bcool and ran out of talent in front of him in turn 8....wheere i washed out the front at the top of 4th gear (thats roughly 115-120mph). It wouldnt have been so bad if the bike hadnt trapped me under it, but as it were we got flying lessons on the new reverse curbing in turn 9....again....and agian......and again.......and again until i came to a stop roughly 10' past the apex of turn 9. This event started just under the tree house......yeah.
Conclusion of this event is i have some knee pain and swelling, but its looking and feeling much better today!!!!!! For anyone wondering....the bike didnt make it its pretty much destroyed and in many pieces, oh well important part is im alive and relatively ok. This has effectively ended my race season and was by far one of my worst crashes ive ever endured mentally and physically.
I would like to say and wont be able to say it enough to everyone on RSP, ECK, TTD, BT1R, Matt Ze and everyone one at LRRS THANK YOU, thank you for your help, and support. I can be very stubborn and tough to give in to letting others help me but this time im glad i gave in!!!! Im home resting comfortable thanks to everyones help.
EDIT: As i Lay here FREEZING im reminded to say thank you to kyle and his father bob for there help as well. Bob lent me an ice water knee brace pump contraption that is aiding in my recovery!
