Hi everyone, This is a MaxAmps support forum so I don't mean to pull it off base but I did want to just post an update to my unfortunate issue.
I would be more then happy to answer any technical questions on my speed run or drag cars if anyone has any.
As you might know from the post Gabe did for me I was involved in a motorcycle wreck on 11-18 I can't speak to the details of the wreck as I am limited due to legal reasons.
So on with the fun, I can say I was hit on my left side by a truck on the freeway and as a result my left leg took nearly all the damage in the wreck. I am pleased to report my heavy leather riding gear and helmet protected me and even after bouncing across two lanes of the freeway I wasn’t skinned up at all and other then lots of bumps and bruises was unharmed. My left leg however was a different story.
My leg was totally crushed between my motorcycle and the truck that hit me. I went into surgery that night and after all was said and done it took 16 screws and 2 metal plates to build a new ankle.
After spending 5 days in the hospital (I’ll spare you all those details.) I was released and finally got to go home. My ankle was still hurting from the surgeons having to remove the muscle from the bone and reattach it after all my hardware was installed and my knee was still very swollen and felt unstable. Two days after being home I had my first doctor visit. I told him my knee was still really hurting and he sent me for x-rays and a MRI. The result was my knee was also crushed and broken.
Unfortunately the damage to my knee was somehow missed in the hospital after the wreck.
So back into the hospital I went on Wednesday (12-8) for a second surgery to repair my knee. This one ended up adding 6 more screws and another metal plate. I was feeling so down mentally about having to have the second surgery I am sure it didn’t help but this one hurt and I would be just fine if I was to never experience that again.
I came home on Friday and am feeling better each day. Physical therapy starts for me in the next day or two and as much as I am looking forward to the end result I can’t say I am looking forward to the path.
No one has really given me a time line on walking again right now. The only thing they will say is that I will have limited mobility. I personally don’t really see it that way and fully expect to be more mobile then before when all is said and done.
Even though I could write 10,000 different trying or painful things that have come from this I honestly have felt from day one that I have been blessed and as a friend of mine told me “You have been given this cross because God knows you are strong enough to carry it.”
He must really want to make me strong.
Thank you so much for all the prayers and well wishes. I really can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.
