Terrible timing

[rickyboy]

As some or many of you know I have been suffering with a torn MCL since Feb. Well I had an MRI done and the results have come in. Apparently there is more damage than previously thought.
I not only tore my MCL, but when that tore it also tore the meniscus The two are attached. They also said I tore my ACL {the tendon that holds the knee cap in place} I don't know how badly that one is.
Anyway I have been waiting for a surgery date, and that date has has come through. I can't believe the timing. The surgery date is July 15th. So that totally takes me out of the running for the "Island Ride", and most likely the Kalispell rally as well. To say I'm choked is an understatement for sure. The weather has finely smartened up here on the coast and the rides are so close and then this date is thrown at me. It's a WCB case so I can't do a thing about it. They shove me to the front of the line { something I don't agree with anyway} to have it done so I can again be a productive member of society. :) The recovery time is a min. of 12 weeks apparently so I might get some riding in before the season ends. But making the rally/rides seems out of the question. :'( :'( :'(
I just thought I'd let everyone know. I hope you all have a good time. I will be waiting to hear all about it and see the many pictures I'm sure you'll be taking. I'll be thinking of all you lucky SOB's . In the mean time I'll be doing all the riding I can.
Ride safe!!!
best regards to all of you
