Sometimes even when you do fucking EVERYTHING right, shit happens.  I don't know how many people that were there are actually back on the board.  I was "blacklabel" on the old incarnation of ST.N. For those that don't know or don't remember, here's the story.  I guess she's a bigger man than I am, though...because I'm never getting back on that horse.  

http://www.bacomatic.org/%7Edw/rides/0625/nk.htm

Anyway....here we are, 5 months and 13 days.  I walked again.  It's only been five months, but it feels like I've been waiting SO long for this day.  I can't tell you in any words how it felt physically OR mentally.  I'm sorry for being so bitter about Roadrash Girl, but something finally broke...

Congrats on walking again.  I'm sorry if I missed a previous post (perhaps before ST.N when down?), but what happened?

Wow.  That is harsh.  I am really glad you survived and am walking again.

Hey, I saw your original story, roadrashgirl's got nothing on you.  Glad to see you're walking.  
 
I don't think anyone feels sorry for roadrashgirl, the general reaction seems to be that it was an stupid series of decisions that could have minor if she had been smart enough to wear gear.
 
By your account, you made all the right choices and continue to do so.  I'd like to meet you one day. Beerchug
 
Been wondering what happened to you, keep us posted.

Congrats on the walking! What did cause it? Was it a deer or possibly mechanical failure?

What a fantastic treat to hear from you!  I'm glad you're doing well.  I think about you often (no, you pervs, not in that way...) when I head out on the XX.  You're a constant companion, of sorts; or maybe a nagging voice in the back of my mind.

Congrats on your new freedom, it is well deserved.Beerchug

Awesome! Glad your coming along nicely! Is that what they call a "Cee" leg? It looks like one the US military uses them.

I'm sorry for your loss, Chet, and the big hurdle you're working through. I can see that you're the kind of man who won't let this keep you from living a whole life.

Best wishes, bud.

Congrads on your recovery, I am also recovering from my own similar accident and very lucky that the cager didn't take my leg. I am recovering from a broken hip, lots of fractures and a separated shoulder.  Here are my photos  http://homepage.mac.com/artist.larrycrystal/PhotoAlbum18.html  

Get well, and wish you the best of holidays!
