Feel better Cici :) I've flipped a motorcycle and broken my shoulder, been run over crossing the street and broken my knee and tibia, had a few epileptic seizures where I fell over again (for some reason always on my bad arm) and had to have MORE surgeries... Ack, I have great empathy for you! Get well soon.
John-John, hope you are feeling better. Sorry for being so late but had some of the worst weeks of my life in the last days.
I hate to break my bones, hurts, surgeries, scars, pain, medicines, etc, etc. If I can help you in some way, please tell me.
Thank you :) I’m all healed up these days, as healed up as I’ll ever be.. I got 95% usage in my leg back and, in my arm, I don’t know - I can’t lift the left one above my head, but it doesn’t slow me down too much. And, I haven’t owned a bike in 4 or 5 years. In my riding days, I must've been in at least half a dozen accidents, but they were (almost) all minor - dropped the bike going downhill in the rain and the brakes slid out, dropped the first bike I owned a couple times just learning how to ride, stuff like that. The only BAD wreck was with an ancient 1989 Ninja 1000R that I picked up for a great price. It was well past 20 years old at the time, but still beautiful and had great potential before I destroyed it. As it was, I rode it around for a few weeks, and it had a few issues - the suspension was screwy, and it was running very rough. So, I got the carbs cleaned, and it transformed the machine. The front wheel would pull up from stop just from acceleration (and this was a heavy fucking bike) - it was fast! But, the suspension was still a little fucked up, and just a few days out of the shop I flipped the fucking thing going about 45mph - broke my helmet in half down at the bottom where the face plate came dislodged and slid down. I wouldn’t have a face if I hadn’t been wearing a helmet :) Anyway, I kept riding for a while after that, but for whatever reason it’s been a while since I owned a bike.. although, I’ve been feeling that motorcycle itch again lately… who knows :P
Now is a bit late here and I will have classes on this Saturday, in a few hours, so I think it's better to sleep soon. In any case, just to make you laugh, a little cecilian fool story: - I broke my coccyx while having sex in my local work stairs... I fell down the stairs because he was very... err... very "enthusiastic" in our intercourse, hahahaha!!! ;D
It was f*cking painful, but it was absolutely impossible to avoid the hysterical laugh and the doctor and I almost die without breathing, only laughing... Holy FSM, I really had a fun life, hahahaha!!!
Hahah :)
Wish you the same, my dear: much health, fun sex, laugh, cool motorcycles, music, and all the happiness of the Universe! <3
Love you, John. Please, take care, be well, and heal soon, my dear friend. And avoid accidents with stairs for now, hahahaha!!!! <3
Same to you Ceci - I hope you heal up & feel better soon! cheers, John
