    I don't know if I've mentioned it, but my hand has been bothering me since the accident. Of course it's a lot worse when I ride. When I got back from my short and electrical problem laden vacation, I was in a lot of pain. I went in for an MRI and it turns out I have three torn ligaments. Two can be done orthoscopically, but they have to cut me open for the other one. :gah:

    At least it's off season.

    Hope ya heal quick Abby. I remember when I tore my achillies tendon from my heel bone. Talk about pain:gah: Had a cast on for about 6 weeks, then a leg brace. Couldn't take it when riding season arrived. Took the bike out for a ride, leg brace and all.

    Thanks everyone. Very exciting news! The Casttoo folks are about 10 miles from me. I e-mailed and asked if they would set me up with the hottest cast around and I'll do an article about them on Biker Chick Magazine. They're all over it! Woohoo!

    It's tomorrow. If you're inclined to say a prayer, please throw one in for me. I've had a bad day. Probably wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't explained that they put a tourniquet on my arm and drain the blood out and refill it with stuff that makes my arm numb. That just freaks me right the f^&* out.

    I'll definitely say a prayer for you Abby. Never heard of a procedure like that but I'm no doctor either and I'm sure they know what their doing. Keep us all informed. :)
