Well come on. It's not like they were going to cut it off and you said NO I have to ride.sobottka;150839 wrote: i think j f'n t's was actually worse.
just an example of what people go through and still ride.
They were going to fix it anyway, right?
Al thou it was my motivation to get my hip fixed. It became painful to ride. I could live with out playing sports anymore, but no riding was the straw.

1. find a functional physical therapist (FAFS), your talus needs to be functionally mobilized.
2. quit smoking. for example, a smoker with an ankle fracture takes 3 months longer to heal.

yea i left out ALOT of the bad pictures, it was hell but i'm still able to do something i'm passionate for & thats ride. I had a spiral tib fracture & a compound of the fib, pretty much dismembered the lower part of my leg & if you look in the one picture my foot is actually spun around completely, the only thing holding my leg together was skin & tendons. when they attached the plate my leg slowly started to straighten itself out.sobottka;150839 wrote: i think j f'n t's was actually worse.

Bottom line trent, get yourself healthy, positive thinking & see ya next year

Trent my right leg was broken off - both bones shattered and 2" of bone ejected out the side
A car blew a red light on her cell phone and my leg was mashed in between her car and the motorcycle. I was on crutches almost 2 years.
Right as I was getting off crutches I was being an idiot (i rode most of the time I was on crutches - even went to the CCS races. I spent the entire day there on my gixxer unable to walk.. either i sat on the bike or I one leg hopped to somewhere to sit down)
While I was almost healed I flipped a wheelie and snapped my knee into a pile of bits - it now has 2 big bolts through it and a steel plate down my tibia.
you can heal - just get with the right doctors. I know you know how to contact me.

Holy crap those are some crazy pics! I can't imagine what recovering was like. I know what I've gone through and it has to be a small minor fraction of what you guys went through.
Worst thing so far has been trying to shake the "could-of-been" thoughts. I bounced back (mentally) from my other crashes pretty quick. Hell, when I went down in April, I was back out the next day. This one took the wind outta my sails. I didn't even get the bike out of the trailer until almost two months had passed. Didn't even want to look at it.
I'm gonna call around next week and find me a doc, get my busted bikes sorted out, and get back to being me again.

Reading some of these posts makes me want to curl up in a ball in the corner of my cubicle and hug my legs/limbs.
Unfortunately, I know what it's like to recover from broken bones, although not as serious as yours. As a kid I broke both my arms a few times and I remember it sucking so bad not being able to do routine things normally.
Keep your head up though. Eat healthy, don't smoke, and do what the doctors tell you. I hope you make a quick and complete recovery.

Sobottka, that pic makes me wonder if I could go through it again.
Trent, find a mean ass therapist that doesnt care if your in pain. I broke every bone in my throttle hand and wrist and elbow. I acted like such a p*&&y at the therapist that she probably didnt twist as much as she should have. Im getting tears thinking about the pain but if I had experienced the track then I MAY have took some extra pain meds and dealt. Now I only have about 15 degrees either way with my wrist movement. Ask about the JAS splint. I will post a pic if you have never seen it. Its great for stretching things out and getting the flexibility back. I have started using mine again. My scaphoid was not getting enough blood flow for about a year after but it did recover.
