What I have been doing for the past week
...........nothing!!!
Actually I am recovering from Surgery I had on the 11th. I am now just getting to feel good enough to try typing.
Over 5 years ago I broke my right arm in two just below the ball joint, also dislocated it. I had a local Doctor that did nothing for me. I let it go and it did not heal right. I have had limited motion and it would ach when I tried to reach up. So I decided to have it repaired. My new Doctor had to re-break it and cut a wedge out to get it back in place. It took 6 hours and I now have 10 screws and a plate. See Pictures ***WebShots removed my pictures.***
So this is more of a test to see how well I can type and use the mouse with my left hand before going back to work. Percocet is messing with my stomach so I switched to hydrocodone.

I forgot to add that Installed my Dynojet kit and a 13 tooth sprocket. I took the bike for a ride the day before surgery, It sure made a big difference. I am shooting for May for my next ride.

I feel your pain, bro. I broke right elbow senior year of high school (smashed the head of the radius bone) and have had 3 surgeries on it over the last 10 years. Brushing the teeth left handed was a clumsy and painful affair, not even gonna report on bathroom duties. Hopefully, when you are all healed again, your quality of life will be much better than before. Oh, and don't wuss-out on the rehab. It sucks and it hurts but, you'll be tons better off when you are done. Ask your doc for tramadol after he pulls the narcs. It'll help with rehab and its not addictive (but is habit forming so go easy). Good luck, man, and fast healing.

After 10 years of surgeries and physical therapy, I guess you just get comfortable with stuff pertaining to pain management. Ha! I guess that might have sounded a bit like a curb-side pharmacist 
. But really, though, my point was that folks need to be careful with pain meds.
All jest aside, I do wish CMOTT a very speedy recovery and best of luck when you do get back in the saddle.
