Title: Lancer functional .... well, sort of :)
Post by LANCER on 03/16/11 at 08:14:14

I have a little access to my computer and my fingers seem to be working without too many backups to correct spastick fingers.

My son said he posted something about the accident but don't have time right now to find the post so will just do a quick and dirty.

Road turned...I did not
went to the grass to ride it out but front wheel found a hole somewhere so bike stopped and I did not...about 50 mph
bruised R. kidney; several broken ribs and fractured #1 lumber vert.
wearing hard frame body brace for 6 wks +/- and then soft brace for some time

Dr ordered daily body massage by at least 2 extremely attractive physical therapists ;D

Post by LANCER on 03/16/11 at 08:17:05

when can I ride again ... unknown
depends on how good looking the the therapists are of course...could take a couple of years from that perspective 8-)

Best wishes from a new guy. Hope the recovery goes well.

My wife works as an office manager at a physio clinic and has an interesting theory on therapists. There are basically two types: The real big, scary lookin' ones that can intimidate you into doing your therapy program, and the drop-dead gorgeous ones that get you to do the work without thinkin' about it 'cause your mind is...... ahem..... elsewhere.

Here's hoping you get the latter!

Another Salute from a New Guy! Salute! I had wondered what had ahppened to you. I even got your name from a fellow lister and googles you in SC and called what was your son's house. Lovely daughter in law told me you was busting out on Fri last week and to please call back. Found out we're the same age.

Well never seen the emails pile up like the ones for you today. I got some great jokes for you but with dem ribs broken you'd be like break dancing or something and maybe relapse.

I kept wondering where's dat Lancer guy??? and thinking where are we gonna get another "Guru" in the off season. ha

Nice hearing about those therapists and that you've got your carbonation back.

Hmmm.. so you were looking at attractive therapists when the road turned and that caused you to not? It is a conspiracy for them to get business!! ;)
Sure am glad you will be OK.. but, in time for the Dragon?? Sure hope so!!!!

Add my best wishes to everyone else here on the site. Recovery time always seems to go twice as slow as regular time, and about ten times as slow as riding time, but it does pass. Hang in there, and you will be back in the saddle.

dude! darn! sorry to hear about your agro-riding experiment gone bad....hopefully you will be back to 100% in time to do some riding this season......i think about how fast my bike slows down when i crack the throttle - then i think about how long it takes to stop it when i apply the brakes.....always wondering if I will be able to slow down enough or stop soon enough to avoid "the big one".....there is no telling how bad i would have been hurt if that had happened to me......bike stops but you dont.....i doubt it would be able to eject me that easy i'd be all twisted up in the handlebars....ouch!

Lancer, Someday you'll look back on this little accident and....IT'LL STILL HURT just thinking about it. :D Kidding. Some famous poet said once,"Troubles come not singly, but as sparrows." Actually he may have said it more than once. You can tell by the number of posts that you have friends in your corner; most you'll never meet. Now can we get a picture of the bike, please? Barry

Hey Lancer,
I'm real sorry to hear about that.
We all see the brutal collisions in football games and think "How did he survive that?"...and that's at twenty miles per hour...with body armor.
I have some first hand experience with recovery and I know how much pain you must be in.
Hang in there and keep us all posted.
Any idea of the damage to your bike yet?

Post by Oldfeller on 03/17/11 at 02:52:04

Mike,

Sorry don't begin to cover it -- I am in shell shock. Having watched you ride for so many years and knowing all the stuff we have done together the thought of you going down at speed leaves my mind all boggled and torn up emotionally. I have seen you ride the grass before, so I know exactly which scenario you describe -- you were riding it out on the grassy shoulder and hit a drainage dip and flew off.

I am praying for you, old friend. I still haven't wrapped my mind around it yet completely, but I am praying for you.

Kelly

PS Nancy sends her regards -- she is quite upset for your wreck and all happening so close together.

Got that right dude.
Once is definitely enough;

not sure about about the Dragon ride....... it's going to be a close one
my be guess right not is that I will be there but only for for VERY gentle riding; it all depends on how fast and complete my lumbar vertebrae heals.
I have been blesses with strong hard bones and a body that heals quickly....pray that this continues

speaking of therapists; my primary girl was Kim..... one hour with here was worth weeks of time with anyone else...... talk about hot; dang she could melt glass.

need to go for the real deal for healing; pray without ceasing. God has the whole world in his hands, including my puny little bodyl

take care

Managed to sneak out for some personal time. Its not easy to do when everyone thinks you are going to break if you breath wrong or something.
When released from the hospital the doc said I could drive if I felt like it so what's the freaking deal ?
Yep, I hurt, inspit of the maxed out drugs but when gets a but low it just feels good to get outside ....ya know !
Ya'll take care and DO RIDE SAFELY !

Guess this means our route 66 ride is off another year ?

Well ya got any campgrounds a bunch of bikers could stay at in your neighborhood ? If you can't come to the party maby the party could come to you .

Get well soon buddy and save us the extra ride .

I replied last week, but good to hear the Dr isn't worried about you. When they tell you you can drive, it's encouraging. Be careful with regular movements such as showering and reaching back in the 'fridge. Go slow and heal. This is from someone with a terrible back. Barry

Post by LANCER on 03/24/11 at 20:49:49

Tomorrow starts the hard core therapy. To get me back to a functional human again
The past few days I've actually felt like a real person instead of just one big ball of pain
Next week I get a new CT scan to see how the lumbar vert is healing... That's the biggie right now
If that is good then I can get rid of this brace and take a real shower again... Might even get back to my own place again...that would be nice !

Thanks for all the prayers gang !

Title: Re: Lancer functional .... well, sort of :)
Post by LANCER on 03/28/11 at 11:34:19

Went to rehab and they said I could do more already; strength, flex and function than they can teach so no need for their services. That was good news and made me feel good. All the workouts with #1 son the past few months has obviously worked well for me. My physical fitness may very likely have saved me more serious damage at the time of impact too.
Can't ever know for sure but seems to make sense.
Today I had a new CT scan and will talk to the doc on Wed.
Hope I am doing well enough to get rid of this hard shell brace.

I have read where one being in
good physical shape helps ones
body to heal faster.
Now we know it is true. So what
is the first thing you have planned
to do when you get rid of the
turtle shell? ;) Man I could have fun

Post by LANCER on 04/01/11 at 10:49:14

Saw the doc yesterday; CT scan looks good and I am healing according to plan but must still wear this blasted hard shell brace for the full 3 months. It seems that the fracture on the lumbar vertebrae is in a VERY CRITICAL position and if I am not careful it could be very bad for this very active dude. So it is a very SMART SALUTE AND A HARDY "YES SIR" and a promise to follow all of the rules set down lest I end up needing a motorcycle with hand controls only since my legs would be totally paralyzed otherwise.

NOT GOOD.

So I will be a very good boy and do everything they say.

In the meantime my CS-1 is ready to start production....YEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about being slow to reply on this thread too. Follow the docs instructions closely and heal up properly!!! Having leg that don't just wouldn't do.

Title: Re: Lancer functional .... well, sort of :)
Post by LANCER on 04/10/11 at 03:05:26

yep, healing is going well....it's just a slow going process for this one..
considering that screwing up could mean nonfunctional legs is a big piece encouragement to follow the rules EXACTLY and no shortcuts....the bone needs time to mend properly so time it is then.
My last appointment with the Rehab doc went well; he said don't come back cause you dont need me any more. GOOD NEWS !!

Lancer sweetie, here are your kisses
for being a good boy.. You get bonus
ones for not leaving bruises on the nurses. ;D ;D
From having injuries to myself in the past besides
my mc accident, it is easy to want to move around,
do what you think you can do. Well at times that
may work. Yet again, times it won't and your body
will tell you that. Take care of that back man. It will
heal quicker if you rest and give it the time it needs.
Ok so your getting restless, well just think how restless
your going to be if you re injur that back and take longer
to recouperiate. Now be a good boy, close your eyes...
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Hope the week brings you closer to being recovered as well
as some relief in your pain.. Keeping you in my daily thoughts

Laughter really is a great healer. Do what you can to expose yourself to people, places & things that bring your heart a lift. Its hard to do when youre at your lowest, but it is worth the effort. Keep swinging,,,

Lancer sweetie, so nice to hear of
your healing. Now try and not rush
things too quickly. Just take things
as they come. Each hr hopefully brings
you closer to a complete recovery..

All my best to you, kim

With the exception of bruised or fractured ribs. Ever wonder where the expression "It only hurts when I laugh" came from? ;D

I think that's a distortion of ...
"It only hurts when I breathe"...,... which means,...
...all the time...

The only way the pain will stop, is if I stop breathing and die...

Keep breathing Lancer,.. ;)...

I went down on April 7th and severly bruised my ribs so i know what you mean by it only hurts when i laugh. I am gaining but sometimes i forget they are there and move wrong and feel like it did in the beginning. Glad to hear that you are healing well.

Lancer, no way are you going to stop
breathing. All these kisses I have been
sending you, their so powerful your lungs
will forever be full of air..
Now you make sure that P.T. knows how
much the trip to the Dragon means to you.
She is sure to be good coming all the way
from Ca. to you.. Sounds like money well
spent. :-* :-* :-*
Kristneann, take it easy on the ribs. I had a rib
injury as well. It took me about 6 weeks before
I could lie down in bed right. Breathing was difficult
at times too.. Hang in there.. Hugs to you as well. :) kim

Oh! send us GPS for the location of the accident and we can erect a sign that says, "Turn Here". :)

Hey Lancer, You are going to have more pages than the (Looking furtively from left to right) oil thread. Was it a movie that said once, "A man's got to know his limitations." Stay within yours and heal fully. Best wishes from Mississippi. :)

Just checking back in and wishing you further speed on your recovery! Ya know the "Legend of Rex" still has a lot of pages left to go, but it doesn't need to be filled with THOSE kind of highlights! Hope you're back in the saddle real soon! ;)

Lancer, hope you come back 100%. Motorcycles can be a dangerous hobby. I guess your store is down while you are on the mend. Was lookin' to upgrade to your carb and cam from stock. Let me know if and when you get back on line, until then take it easy and dont anything to aggravate your injuries. JR
