On the mend...
Just a follow up...
June 2nd of this year I posted about getting ran the F over by a dude in a Cadillac. He turned left from the far right lane and sent me high-side.
Well, I had surgery last Friday to repair the damage.
Torn rotator cuff
Torn labrum
Torn biceps tendon (they are not sure if it will hold)
Torn sub scapular tendon
Now I'm in a sling for the next 3 months and then it's physical therapy after that.
anyway, make sure and ride in honor or whatever for those of us who cannot.

Wow, sorry to hear it man, good luck with your recovery.
I got broadsided at an intersection when I was 18 and thrown off the bike and slid across the road and ran into the curb back first, broke two disks and seven of the little bones that come off the sides of the spine. I was in the hospital for six months and physio for another six but came out of it better than new. The physio therapists are monsters but do exactly what they tell you cause they do know what they are doing and will make you stronger than you were in the first place.

Get well and take that ******* for everything you can. If he's got a caddy hopefully he's got some high limits on his auto insurance. Make it painful for him as much as you can for payback and for your treatment/pain/suffering.
