    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

,,...Went riding on a picture perfect day with a group of friends, The last thing I remember is flying through the air , and extreme pain.

.................. Four broken Ribs, broken shoulder, , broken nose ,concussion and a shattered/broken back....
My back was repaired with rods and screws.
Released and a week later readmitted to the hospital for a serious infection.
Back home with an infusion pump trying to recover and control the infection
up
Have to tell you folks I'm having a very difficult/impossible time trying to keep my so called spirits up
 
Sorry to hear of your incident. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recover and quicker raising of your spirits.
Always remember, regardless of your spot in life, there are others who care for, and depend on you.
Be well my friend.
 
I'm sorry to hear of that. I'm glad you're still with us and hoping for a speedy recovery. No idea of what happened?
 
Yikes :eek: You are one lucky son of a b#@ch to be able to type. Sure sounds like you weren't kept in the hospital very long for those extensive injuries. Which bike were you on?

That's what I was thinking. Those Infectious Diseases docs are brutal. I never did get their approval when I left after two months. I found I could cheer myself up by annoying the doctors. So I gave them names { couldn't remember their real ones anyway } Dr. Mercedes, Dr. Beemer, Dr. KountryKlub, whatever came to mind. The residents I called Dr. Wannabe. The nurses loved it and it got me big brownie points. It's very important to keep your sense of humour during your recovery and use every chance you can to get out of that room or your house even if you need someone to help you. That's what all those volunteer organizations are for. Hang in there it will get better.......
 
Best wishes on your recovery from over here. Infection is a sod, but modern medicine is wonderful - in 70%proof doses.
 
Sorry to read that Geo.:(:(:(:(

Reading your text I was thinking car......What happened to the other guy?

Be well, as well as can be.

Get better.
 
Ditto above.

Hope you are feeling better and make a solid recovery. :D
 
I've Been Here Before...

I've Been Here Before...

Wow!

I've had that feeling of potentially flying through the air...fortunately for me, it didn't go that way. For you, it must have been something you knew you couldn't do anything but let it happen. Almost like accepting that something was about to happen (because you had enough time to think about it) and not interfering with the bike's forward motion.

Sorry if that doesn't make sense but what happened to me didn't make any sense. Whatever the case may be for you, I hope you heal well and not let this affect how you feel about riding. I don't know you well enough to say either way but I was compelled to reply since this is something that affected me but not like it's done to you. No disrespect...just putting a spin on a situation I feel close to my heart.

Take care and keep on riding.

Best wishes on full recovery....and by posting on this forum might help keep your spirits! :positive:
 
It may be a small thing, but I baked you a dozen 'e-muffins'. Please enjoy.

Here are the rest since the delivery guy will only ship 10 at a time. Yes it's a 'baker's dozen'.
