        to quote an old song...."Oh yes, I remember it well!!". I feel for you brother!!

        Did my eight weeks in the chair in March and April. Never so glad to get up off my butt in all my life. As I tell people, when your sitting there and find that your watching Jerry Springer.....AND being entertained by it you know it is time to either get walking, working, or find a retirement center to go referee shuffle board matches at!! Something...ANYTHING!!!

        Your injuries sound much more encompassing than mine were, glad you have made it this far down the road. Good luck with the recovery and many wishes for a quick and as painless as it can be return to your former glory!
        Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

        When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

                    Hi Mike,
                    a promise made under duress has no validity.
                    Or if the Reverend wasn't standing on your IV line at the time you could compromise and hang a sidecar on the XJ.
                    And get well soon, eh?

                      Sorry to hear of your spill! Glad you're on the mend though. Seems like a strange request to come from a pastor, but it's your choice. Take it easy and let things heal right.

                        SWMBO got to me while I was in the ICU, the morphene based drugs I was on were pretty strong. I consider any promises made while under the influence to be null and void when the drugs wear off!!

                            Caught a boatload of sh!t after getting back on mine. One guy said" folks said you would never ride again" I told him "those fools don't know me"
                            Your call. If you aren't comfortable doing so, don't ride. Heal up and take care. Be glad to be alive.
