Test run after my fuel pump replacement turned into a scene from a horror flick. I got t-boned!!! Bike is totalled, and my right leg got crushed. Surgery went well, and we will have to wait and see if I will lose my foot. So good news is I'll probably have some parts for sale:)

Well, yesterday was a big day. They went in and pulled the dead stuff out, decided that it was really clean, and did both parts of the surgery all at once! I will still be in the hospital for a week or better. They say that everything is looking good, and the grafted flesh and skin is taking! All in all a good sign so far.

Good news Corn! I'm hoping your next post will show the progress we are all hoping to see. You need to be healed by spring so you can start riding again!

Well it's surgery +2 weeks and things are moving slow. The site that they harvested the skin from has finally shed, so it's good. The spot that they took the muscle from (basically crotch to knee ) is still a little sore, and I have stupid drains in there... which sucks. The heel itself is ugly, but they always start like that I guess. There will be at least one more surgery on the foot to re-shape it once they are sure it takes. Still lookin at more than a year before I'm walking. Might still need bone graft on the tibia. I'm attaching some pics, but they're a little graphic... you've been warned.

Man,

That is some crazy looking healing process. Wish you the best bro. All in all as long as you can get back to functioning like before, all of this will be nothing. I tore my leg back on a jump, took me a year to walk again, not even run. You will get there, positive mental attitude.

Good luck. Rehab is the key.
