Wrist update: Good news & bad news

[OreoGaborio]

Good news is, I'm "Healing like a 14 year old" and CAST FREE!!! (with a splint)

Bad news is, racing in the Loudon Classic would be *very serious doctor face*... and I quote "Foolish"

The bones are healING, not healED... in fact I could still see most of the fractures in the x-rays that were taken today. And because there's some serious hardware in there, if I were to race all the forces involved would mean I'd risk stripping the bones that the screws are in.

So as much as I want to race, the doctor says it will still be another month before the joint is fully healed which means it's 99% likely I'll be sitting out the Classic



Oh & Nazo... Your Aunt Judy says "Hello"

She was the receptionist at the Dr's office. She asked how I broke it & when I told her she said "Sounds like something my nephew would do, he races motorcycles, too". Needless to say I was pretty surprised when I asked what her nephew's name was & she gave me your name. Small world.

[Awesome]

So I guess I'm racing Alex on your EX huh? You can't let that thing forget what a racetrack feels like.

[OreoGaborio]

Unless I choose to disobey doctor's orders, it's yours.

[rebelpacket]

Dr Costa says your fine. Race that shit.

[bigred875]

pussies can't be hero's!

[OreoGaborio]

Guys, trust me... I would fukin LOVE to race.... I was really hopin to make the Classic my "return to racing"


But immagine you've got a 2x4 & you saw it in 1/2 at a 45 degree angle, put a couple screws through it, then rattle it around untill the screws start to strip out. Then try & screw em back together again....

That's what'll happen if I don't let this fully heal. The bones could potentially strip. It was evident from the x-rays they took today that the bones are not healed, and the way my Doctor reacted when I asked him if I could race next weekend told me this is a very real possibility.

I'm going to invent a glue that puts bones back together.

yeah, healing faster than expected, but still slower than I want...

yep. dr's orders and, more importantly, still dont have my balance or depth perception completely back.

Too late hey have that. ScienceDirect - Biomaterials : Biosynthetic hydrogel scaffolds made from fibrinogen and polyethylene glycol for 3D cell cultures

FUCK man! OUCH!

[a13x]

I wouldn't race either Pete.

they already have it, its called super glue, and for better protection you use good old alabama chrome,(ductape) wrapped around your appendage

Shit, Jay... those bastards stole your idea! Even ripped off the name you came up with to call it.

This calls for a rumble, Racers vs the Docs !
