So glad you've come through this as well as you have. May things be all the better for you going forward, having had this experience. Every blessing through the operation and recovery - and of course the bike repairs too.

Update I had surgery today. They said it went well. I’m still not feeling much in that arm because of the nerve blocker. Also spoke to Insurance. Bike isn’t totaled but estimated $5200 worth of damage.

They keeping you for 24 hours or did they release you already?

Keep on top of the pain meds but remember most are addictive. You may have to taper off. Different people react differently.

Don't mess with the incision site. Infection is a MAJOR bitch. What kind of dressings did they apply?

they released me. Yeah pain meds don’t work well on me. They initially gave me norco that didn’t do anything so they switched to Percocet which is more addictive but they work better.

Right ht now I’m in a sling and a soft splint for the next two weeks.

Glad to hear you weren't hurt worse. Looking back at your event, is there something you could have done differently to mitigate that level of risk?

Do your PT when it's time!
