Please release me....

It is official, my neurosurgeon released me on Thursday. Hooyah! Once again he made me promise to wear a helmet -- I imagine he's seen the worst case scenario when it comes to head injuries, since he's a trauma surgeon. Anyway, I am fixed, with cautions. There is always a risk I'll need additional surgery because of the DDD, but it's a very low risk.

Now if I can get this shoulder b.s. fixed, I'll be back on my poor lonely bike!

My latest xray -- all the cool kids have neck hardware you know....:rolleyes:

Here's hoping you don't need to visit the hardware store again!

Do you think you'll be back on your lonely bike soon? :)

Snap, you're hardcore!:D Not everybody wears hardware inside their bodies. Body piercings are so last century now. Glad to hear you'll be back in the saddle.:cool: Watch out world!:eek:

Isn't it amazing what they can do with a couple of pop-tops? :D

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Congratulations on your recovery.

You can tell him I'll nag you. :D

Perhaps we can celebrate our return to biking simultaneously. Now would that be Epic ??? :cool:

Will it beep when you walk through the metal detector at the airport?

Impressive stuff.

Is it just me, or does that hardware resemble a couple of links from a bike chain?

Congratulations, Snap! :D

It does!
Hey and did you know, the singer from Kraftwerk( a very famous German electro seminal band from 80s, who also did a great song called 'Tour de France' have a peek on utube) used to ride 280 km( or was it miles) a day.
Well, HE crashed too,on the only day he NEVER wore a helmet! When he woke up three days later, after being in a coma, he said( drum roll) HOW IS THE BIKE?!!!

Glad to hear your ok!

Oops, I thought this too when I opened the thread. I see I wasn't the only one!

Hi Snap

Phew, you have been through it a bit! :eek:

I'm just a tad worried it doesn't look straight http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Missbe/snap.jpg

So my only concern are you going to look a bit like Germina http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...be/giraffe.jpg

I guess it will be useful riding around corners?

Joking apart, brilliant to hear you will be able to get back in the saddle.

Ride safe hun.

Hi Snap

Pleased to see you around.

Actually, I am very sad, when I found her photo on the internet, I did not read about her properly. The zoo was in Santa Barbara but unfortunately she died back in 2007 purely of old age. :(

I do feel guilty but then again, if she's looking down with her crooked neck from Giraffe Heaven, she will probably be smiling knowing that she is still famous. :rolleyes:

I just read an article about her, she had a good long life -- 21 years!
