Don't underestimate the curative power of the Evo.

Start riding and see how it goes.

Too bad we can't get a prescription and use the Evo as a tax write off for medical reasons. Do hope you get better Omaha!

I bet if you wore some wool clothing and hopped on that EVO the wind would move it around enough to itch the hell out of that poison ivy.

Thank you.

It's already way, way better than it was the first few days. For now, I just need some more saddle time.

There's a good idea right there.

Do hope you get better Omaha!
Thanks. Its frustrating. We train two days a week. I missed last night, but I'm going to see how things feel going into Saturday.

This injury has me a bit gun-shy. I'm "of a certain age" now, and this is the first time I've had an injury like this. It messes with your head. I find myself thinking for the first time that "my brain can write checks that my body can't cash".

The injury came about during a knee strike drill. I was pushing off my right leg in order to do a knee strike with my left when ZIP! You could hear the muscle tear. Injuries are part of this, but my injuries previously were from being struck. Had a guy kick me in the kidney a while back and I pissed blood for two days. That I can live with. But this one? It's discouraging to think I can't trust my leg anymore.

Alas. More Evo time for me!

Edit: Just noticed that I replied last night in a gin-induced haze. Heh. Two for the price of one!

Yup...of that age too, last week had a 20 year old kid jump the bar and try to grab a bottle of Captain Morgan(well he did get it and almost got out the door before I caught him) anyway he was a fast little sh##. Realized that my wife is right and my 54 year old body aint up to fighting any more, tackled him and my shoulder still hurts, might have to get a taser! FWIW the epsom salts and hot tub soak work for me on achy muscles and joints, followed by a nice ride in the sun on the old EVO.
