High Lord Gomer Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Well, at least two months before I can put any weight on my left leg. I'll be on crutches until then. I had been getting back into riding a bit with the kids and my new-to-me bike with an auto-clutch basically died on the face of a jump. Yard-sale down the track with broken Gomer pieces. I hope to be walking by the AMU Junior Camp in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the re-hab! Nothing really interesting to see, but... http://themxtrack.com/GomerTibeaSmall.jpg (It isn't graphic but just in case some don't want to see it). They put a plate and screws to hold the top of the tibia back together (5 or 6 pieces). I also broke 3 transverse processes off the back of my lower vertebra, but they said there was nothing they could do with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JQ- Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 wow...sorry about that...I really meant pix of the crash. I had a big spill back a few years ago at a race...tons of people around...I still expect to see that one on someone's funniest home video show...wasn't too funny to me when I hit the tree mid air though...or when I finally hit earth... Good luck and listen to the docs...I guess we'll see you logged in a bunch :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Holie crap, Mike! You're too old to be getting vehicles off the ground, bro. You keep at this you're next fun-mobile will be from The Scooter Store. Do you know how bas it's gonna suck taking your boy to matches and just sit there and watch? I mean... you'll keep taking the boy to matches, RIGHT? Seriously, heal well and quickly my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 That really SUX big time. Tell the doctor that the stitches are sloppy and you don't like the color (black is so last year) and want him to do the whole thing over again and this time get out the ruler and longer straight edge. Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Lord Gomer Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Update: A year later and some of the pieces of the bone did not heal together. I asked the doc how many pieces I had broken the bone into and he said he didn't bother to count them, so it must have been more than a few. Now I have to go back in so they can clean out between the pieces, pack it with Miracle-Gro, and put new plates and screws in. This time I'll have to stay completely off it for at least 3 months. When he told me I told him we had to schedule it for the day after Tommy and I get back from the L10 nationals. Boz doesn't know it but he is going to carry me around on his shoulders like Master Blaster from Thunderdome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chbrow10 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Mike sorry to hear that. (we met at the 08 junior camp, BTW). Use the money that you would be spending on ammo for this http://www.roll-a-bout.com/modelsprices.html There are places that rent these as well. After I broke my ankle, I was actually MORE mobile than on 2 feet. The folks at work called me "scooter". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Thanks everyone! I have no illusions about being competitive (though I would like to beat my 12 year old on a stage or two). I'm just looking forward to hanging out with some good people and watching my son do it better than I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notar Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I hope you heal fast, and are pain free once your recovered. I like to shoot, and I like to ride just as much, 2 great hobbies. Crutch's suck, but your mobile. I broke my left knee and was no load for 8 months, it totally sucked. Best wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Had a great time at the Nationals. I wish I could blame my performance on my leg but the reaily was I was just slow. Got back Wednesday and had surgery Thursday. Some good news after surgery Thursday. Some of the bone has healed and because of that he was able to leave the plate and screws in. He cleaned out between and around the pieces that weren’t fused, scraped them back down to bleeding bone, packed them with BMP (miracle-gro for bones), and zipped it back up. The best part is that I will likely only be completely off it for 6-8 weeks instead of the 3 months he had originally told me. Because of all the digging around he had to do it has hurt worse this time than the last time. In the hospital I was getting Demerol as often as they would stick it in me. I got sent home with Dilaudid and was hitting that pretty hard Friday and Saturday. Haven’t taken anything today so I think I should be over it. I know Michelle is going to flip out but I plan on getting back to work sometime this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Absolute Zero Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Mike, I'm glad you're on the mend. Geez you really toughed it out, I had no idea you were having problems with your leg, I didn't notice it. BTW it was great meeting you and your son and thanks again for everything. Hope you feel better soon. Take it easy, you've earned it. I can definitely feel a bit of tightness after those 18 COFs and I didn't have surgery Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
