2 More Weeks!!
Dr. finally has scheduled the removal surgery of the halo for July 8th. I will be able to start physical therapy after about a week so it wont be much longer and I'll be walking again. I can't wait to ride again but thats probably still a few months away.

I can only imagine what you're going thru. Hang in there bro!!! Get yourself healed up...the wind will still be there.
Remember....someone with a halo is why you're still with us.

Texas,
Besides being down, you must be sick that you have the cleanest bike on the block.
Part of your rehab is going to be getting your ride dirty.
When the time comes....get her dirty....filthy dirty.

I spent the spring and summer of 2008 in a similar situation, but not quite as bad.
It really sucks to be hobbling about.
I found a thing called a Knee Walker, see:

Your DR. might suggest one.
If so, get the "all terrain" version with the big wheels.
Although it sounds all "Rubicon", it is really the minimum you will want for just everyday moving about.
Your insurance should pay for it with the DR. prescription.
I just couldn't get used to the pain and instability of crutches, and the Knee Walker was a breeze to use.
In any case .... I wish you a speedy, full recovery ............ and a gentle physical therapy technician!! (donuts and coffee seem to help keep their "enthusiasm" in check)

Good news pal. Your heading in the right direction. I'm bike shopping myself. Mine got totaled last week( https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...ed-the-eg.html ). Made a deal on 2 bikes but now comes the claims adjuster bs. After negotiating a good deal for the new bikes, which is and was a pita, now waiting for this guy to call. Hope he starts out with decent number.
I'm sending a pm, good luck.
