speedy recovery for you, they are getting better at cutting us up I have rods and screws but my hip bone installed with them, which took longer to recover from. just get better shocks and seat you will be back sooner than you think

Too bad you couldn't have scheduled the surgery for October-November.
Keep us posted on your progress.

Good luck. It isn't 50/50 like it used to be!

Good luck, you will do fine. At least you have something left to operate on, they won't touch me, cause of my lack of discs and bad heart.

Follow doc's orders so riding will be better after all is healed. Don't rush recovery so you don't have to do it over. Get well soon
