O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

Yes, I'm chortling in my joy. I'm now allowed to walk without the bloody CAM boot. As much as I can bear, at least. Still not allowed to drive for another week.

Yay!

cheers

Hey, Are you back mapping yet?

GRiSO Capo Posts : 8053 Join date : 2013-09-30

Back? I haven't stopped. Except for where riding is required...

Now you can really kick arse, Mark.

GRiSO Capo Posts : 8053 Join date : 2013-09-30

Arse kicking might take a while. I'm still not without pain, unfortunately. Crying or Very sad

Fantastic news mate, the pain is not good but just being more mobile must make you happy

Jude and I are going out with Mr. And Mrs. Beetle tonight so we will point, scoff and pour scorn and report back!

GRiSO Capo Posts : 8053 Join date : 2013-09-30

I am now completely free of the boot, and am allowed to drive again. Well, mostly. Mrs Beetle is slightly horrified by the thought. Doc says I shouldn't leave town by myself... Crying or Very sad

I'm allowed to return to work for 4 hours a day for 3 days a week for starters. The Rehab peeps and work's OHS peeps are plotting my return.

Unfortunately, I still have something wonky in my knee. I'm to have an MRI soonest and further surgery next month. The top screws will be removed, and and a knee arthroscope will be performed. That'll mean more time off work, and I fear, no riding until March.

Did we miss the report of pointing, scoffing, and scorn? Very Happy

Does that mean you cannot be a pillion, Mark?

What makes you think I would submit to being a pillion? Suspect

Don Abbondio Posts : 4642 Join date : 2014-03-13 Age : 66

Me either. But I had to ask.

You are over the hump now Beetle. Just hang in there a wee bit longer.

Glad to see you’re making progress toward recovery.

Cheers.

Keep on healing, Mark!

Fra Cristoforo Posts : 380 Join date : 2016-04-14

All good signs of healing. Do as Dr says it'll be fine.

Me, I had 2 screws in my ankle and a cast in 88. I couldn't get my Cal2 out of the barn and no one would help me. After 2 weeks I got it out myself, one hop at a time. Had to get a new cast the next week. Dr asked me if I been riding cause the bottom was ground off, I lied. The next one held up, it was twice as thick. Heel toe shifter worked great. Cars stay away when they see crutches across the back seat.

Seems like a good time to re-post this:

Another GRiSO crash causes owner to get implants.

I have a titanium plate over my collar bone (wouldn't heal on its' own). Had an extra surgery to remove a screw that was not loctited in. Still between crashes. Smile

Sorry to miss all the fun but glad to hear you are on the mend.

GRiSO Capo Posts : 8053 Join date : 2013-09-30

Me too. I had one screw sitting 10mm proud of the bone. Had all four screws removed yesterday.

cheers
