Didn't feel like diggin' back for the Chronicles thread, but wanted to post an update because a couple people asked me to. Been a couple of months since my off at RA, and I wish I could say things have improved, but for the last month, they haven't. Think I need to vent a little anyway so here goes. 
I've got 90% of my range of motion back in my left wrist, but it still can't bear weight unless it's straight in line (e.g. pullups ok, and pushups are ok on the knuckles but not on the palms). Still totally numb (nerve dead) along the edge of the hand and the Scaphoid bone still noticeably displaced. I still can't carry things "thumb side up" because it puts pressure around that bone and it sends a jolt of pain that makes me drop things.
My ankle is still fooked. Have bad probs going up and down stairs, especially down. Can't crouch down to lift stuff up, etc. Can walk about 10 mins before I have to rest it, wants to roll under me when I turn, etc. Real pain in the ass.
Got a list of orthopedic surgeons that are covered by the insurance company sent to me this week, going to schedule a trip to see if it's possible to fix my ankle. They can repair some ligament damage with surgery, depending on where it is, so who knows. Sure as hell ain't right the way it is so I've gotta get something done.
Already dumped most of my credits, can't use them in time with only one event left in the MW.
Shameless plug time..
Going to patch up the GSXR 1000 and put it up in the classifieds in a month or so, if you're interested in picking up a fast literbike, keep an eye out around end of September, mid November... Gotta make it pretty and functional first. Will be some other parts going up soon too, got some new, unmounted NTEC's that need to get used before they go stale over the winter, new in the box GPS timer, etc.
Depending on how things go with my ankle, I may be totally out, or maybe back again next year on a different bike.... I'm done this year for sure, but dunno what the future has in store yet.
Not saying goodbye to anyone because this ain't one, not yet anyway.
