Author Topic: Bike crash in Northern MN Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-27-2006 06:07 PM                        I had surgery on both of my shoulders at the same time just for something to do (I was bored and the hospital was having a two-for-one sale on shoulder operations). I spent a week at home recovering and then I was back at work. Lifting things was never a problem, but trying to reach straight over my head sure was for awhile.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 04-27-2006 11:09 PM                        The bone will be rock solid in about 4 or 6 weeks, then i have little physical therapy and I can go back to work/school in about 10 days JJ  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 04-27-2006 11:34 PM                        Wow. Only just heard about this last night at dinner with Ian. Josh, hope you feel lucky because you are. Here's to a speedy recovery for you.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-28-2006 12:20 AM                        The doctor told me to do physical therapy as well. I went down there and looked around and I just didn't feel like doing it. On top of that it was mega-crowded and I had to sit and wait in what appeared to be a loooong line. So I left. No physical therapy for me.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 04-28-2006 01:02 AM                       OMG, Josh! That's awful. PLEASE be careful... there's too much tragedy in life as it is. Get better soon, my friend.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 04-28-2006 04:12 AM                        Hey if this the extent of my tragedy, I'll take it Pics from happier times  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-28-2006 10:36 AM                     quote: Brad Miller ...indeed you are lucky to be alive today. Quite! If Paul was still here he would be shitting little green apples right now! He was so afraid something like this would happen. He told me so. When you got your bike, he was literally beside himself! Josh! Get better then TAKE IT EASY! Paul may have been looking out for you this time but he can't be there every time. Don't let your luck run out!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-28-2006 12:33 PM                        Those are cool pics, especially the first one (sans the giant watermark, of course).  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-28-2006 02:14 PM                     Yeah! Couldn't they just Digimark it then put a bug in the corner saying so?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-28-2006 08:28 PM                  Those pics are photo proofs. Like most commercial photo sites, they have the watermark so as to discourage cheaters from downloading the pics and printing them without paying... Josh, are those pics actually you? Where? When? And! MOST important: Is there a 94X show tonight on KVXL? PS: How did the surgery go? Gosh! Do I have my priorities all screwed up or what? I care! Honest! Hugs!  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 04-30-2006 01:09 PM                        Phil hit it on the head. they are proofs from my last track day, and hopefully before long I'll be doing that again. In the mean time though I'll sit at home and cook mac and cheese There was a show, but it didnt seem like anyone was out there. I think I'll take a hiatus from radio for a while, as the music is stale, and its just too hard to do right now. The surgery went well, all they had to use was the scope and a screw so I only have two holes in my shoulder instead of a huge scar, which is cool.

Just take it easy for a while and it'll be OK.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-30-2006 03:14 PM                     I hope U get better Josh but can that piece of crap rice burner and get yourself a real bike!

I can't speak for Josh, but I know if I had a motorcycle, I'd want it to be faster than a Ford Pinto.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-30-2006 10:03 PM                  quote: Josh Jones ...all they had to use was the scope and a screw... Hey Josh, glad you got a screw and NOT screwed by your surgery! Take care and get better soon, bud! Joe, I totally agree! I would NEVER have a ANY American-made bike...never ever! The best one I ever had was my Kawasaki NINJA 750 back when I was a little older than Josh is now, but not quite as old a Mr. Pytlak.  |  IP: Logged
