Received se very good news today.

Going for therapy now on it.

Update: therapists said to walk with a cane and knee brace or a crutch for 6 weeks. And he wants to see me twice a week for 8weeks.
Pretty sure this will help whatever he did sure felt good.

He told me to sit with the Dr hos on it for a bit. Seems to be helping.

See if my leg is better by then.
Anyone else going? Or wants to go?

It sounds like a very easy and simple ride.

Cleared to go back to work on Monday June 20th.
Got away lucky.

Looking forward to my next ride on July 2nd.
I'll probably tune my adventurous dial back a bit for a while. And take up the old person style of easy riding for a few rides. Lol.

(No offense to the old guys that still ride hard)

Nice. I've been wanting to check that area out. Used to sled up there. Beautiful county.

Will definitely take you up on that once I'm healed.

Thanks

Heading to Crowsnest for a couple weeks, anyone that'll be in the area hit me up and we'll go for a ride.
Most likely camping in Mcgillivray stage
Probably check out Elkford and Fernie too

A little bit of an up date.
Rocky Medical called Tuesday night. An automated message saying Dr. Peens (the doc that looked at me in Rocky) has placed me on his recall list. And I need to book an appointment to see Him.

So Wednesday I called. (7 times before getting through).
The receptionist said all she can say is I have a compound fracture.

So notified my supervisor and site nurse. I get sent off site.

I hit Redwater emergency to meet a doctor and see what fractured. (I'm thinking my leg or knee. As it's all swollen red and sore).

Turns out it's my spine.
The report did not say compound at all.
It read possible minor fractures in T10 T11 and S something.

The doctor gently pushed on those spots the S hurt. (Tail bone). The Ts didn't bug me.

According to the pharmacist my one pill is for nerve damage. She thinks my spine may have damaged the nerves for my leg causing the pains down there.

Tomorrow the leg gets an ultrasound (rather the knee).

And we'll see what happens.

I see my doctor Tomorrow morning.
Then the Ultrasound in the afternoon.
And back to my doctor Monday afternoon.

Hopefully these minor possible fractures turn out to be nothing and heal fast.

Right now I was told.
No bending
No lifting
No twisting.

I'm pretty certain that protective vest saved my ass. Never riding without it.
Finally. I got the okay to return to Work tomorrow.
Sounds Like last week someone was supposed to have contacted me to return this past Monday, but somehow that got missed. So Tomorrow I get to go back.
My knee still hurts and swells (minorly) at times, i can kneel if its on something soft. still struggle to put my right sock on. So may be going on the list for an MRI ? not sure if its worth it or not.

We're you bombing around Fort Sask in the orange truck yesterday?

Well, that was short. Still fun. Rode with some good folks. Trails were dry. Pretty much 2 wheel drive the whole time. Used 4 in a couple spots I probably didn't need to use 4.
Weather was great.

Apparently we missed a portion of the trail? Not sure as we followed the ribbon.
