Well I am on two wheels again but not the ones I want. I am doing better and I want to say thanks for all the well wishes. Thanks to Dave and Jeff for visiting me at the hospital and for the great brownies Jeff made. I am doing the physical thearpy everyday and I am now off the pain meds. I think I will be moving to a cane shortly. I can't wait to ride again but until that time I can only go into the garage start my bikes and twist the throttle a bit. As soon as the doctor says I can throw my leg over the saddle I am there. I hope to see you all soon. Below is a picture of my current two wheels. lol

Looking good Baron, you need to get with B.A.D. and accessorize those wheels!

Glad to hear you're doin well. You better take it easy after a couple of those brownies from Jeff. Since he made em, you might be 'under the influence'!

Good job, David!  I still have the Tourer emblems, but the softbags and batwing/luggage shelf have been passed along to someone whose reliance on a walker will increase over time.

Well I am lucky enough to have two daughters that carry what I need. I have been working on using a cane so I may be parking my new ride soon.
As for the brownies, that may explain why I was walking so well at the hospital. lol If we have a cookout, I suggest that Jeff bake a desert for it because the brownies were great.

I'm glad you're doing well. I too have had to use a pair of wheels like that. Hang in there you will get rid of them soon.

Jean,
I am starting to use the cane but it is going to take time. I hope to see everyone soon.

Although you weren't shot out of a canon, you've gone through a much more serious event than I did. When, at crash + 16 days, my doc mentioned the transition from walker to cane, he said there was no firm schedule - that I would know when I was ready. His guess was two-four more weeks of walker. I switched after one and didn't go back. I did overdo it a couple of times transitioning off the cane and went back to it for a day or two each time to catch up. It's a marathon, not a sprint, but it did go quickly.
