BEEN A WHILE

[cain73]

My wife is working tonight. I'll see if she has time to go check in on him and get an update. No promises though.

Ok I just talked to Sport66, the surgery went fine and he's doing well. He'll be coming home this weekend. He's in good spirits and is already talking about going riding. He was up and moving around some on day 1. Now its on to recovery which I'm sure he'll do fine with , he's a strong person to have survived all this in the first place. He says Hi and thanks everyone for keeping him and his family in their prayers during this tough time.

HEY GUYS!!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything went great, the deed is done. I was up and getting to the bathroom Wednesday afternoon. It all took like 2.5 hrs or so. They started around 730am and I was back in the room about noon. It hurts pretty good but that's to be expected. I can still feel my foot at times. Its weird picking up my leg out of the bed and it being about 8 lbs lighter its just a strange feeling. It will take a few weeks till the swelling goes down enough to where they can fit me with a temp leg then after its all down I'll get the latest and highest tech they have, I have great insurance. I took a couple pics in the hospital with it wrapped up after the surgery. I'll post as long as no one has objections. They are not gory cause its wrapped. I am having a problem seeing images on the site though, is anyone else have the same thing? seeing red x's and no images? I'll down load them from my cam tomorrow and see if they can be viewed.
I got home today around 3ish pm Saturday.
I am sooooo looking forward to the next group ride or a mini ride up to ONF or somewhere. I cannot express my gratitude for all your prayers. The big man and I have started a whole new relationship and I have an entirely new understanding of who's driving this bus.  We all have a free bus pass but we as individuals need to make that decision to give that pass over to God to be our driver. If that makes any sense.

GOD BLESS Y'ALL
Glen

It looks allot more swollen then it is. There is allot of wrapping on it. I'll take a few more when the nurse unwraps it today if you guys want to see it. Not to be gory but I find this stuff facinating, it not as mcCobb as the display at Mosey with the freeze dried bodies but it neet.

It is incredible to see everything you've gone through. After seeing the pics of the device you had to wear for so long and now seeing these pics, it looks like you will be much more comfortable now. I am so glad everything is looking up for you!    You will be on a quad again very soon 
  That new relationship is a wonderful thing! Everything truly does happen for a reason and you have great things to accomplish still 

I can't wait to have you on a group ride

I think it may look worse then it is. Hope these don't offend anyone.

I'm glad you are doing well and in such great spirits.  I hope that the pain you've been living with will soon be gone.  You are a true inspiration!  I'll look forward to meeting you and your family on a ride.

The pics, while I was apprehensive at looking at first, were really cool.  Thanks for sharing them.  Have a speedy recovery!

Didn't all this happen because some punk tried to steal your car or something? I wish him a long and painful road ahead, and wish you just the opposite.

[gery350]

Yeah I was in miami visiting family.Late on mothers day 2000 I took a cruise to south beach. From working the area I knew better then to talk to anyon I didn't know. I was alone (thank God for small things) And these 2 young guys around 20ish were trying to get my attention. I kept ignoring them and then noticed the one in the passenger front climbed into the drivers rear side. So I paid allot closer attention to them and then I saw a pistol. I guess I could have stopped and gave them the car but there was still a chance of getting shot. So I took off from the light and don't remember much more after that, not sure if I was getting shot at ,run off the road or what but I hit a tree doing about 60-65.Seat belted and air bag. I remember being pulled as they tried getting me out after cutting the roof off but my right foot was caught. I had calf high boots on which probly saved my leg at that time. I passed back out and the next thing I recall was a doctor entering between my ribs with a scapol and sticking a tube in to reinflate a colapsed lung. Then I woke like 3 days later in intensive care where I stayed for 2 weeks. I never spoke to a cop or was asked how it all happened. Honostly I was hurting so bad I didn't care and still don't care to tyhis day. I figure in the big game they will get theres sooner or later.

After going throught the last week post op after the amputation I really kinda wish they would have not saved it then but thats not what the big man had planned. The BEST thing that has happened throught it all was my wife was pregnant when it happened so I have been here for every day (expept hospital stays) of my little buddies life. My wife has had to go to work but when life changes your direction you gotta go with it. 

I am currently trying to get used to phantom pains and feelings. I keep reaching to itch what isn't there anymore. Hopefully this doesn't last long its enough to drive ya nuts. I can't wait to get out on the trails again. I could probly ride like this but I think I'll wait t ill its a bit healed and follow the docs orders. Once again I can't say it enough THANKS FOLKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!!!
