[QUOTE="Buckrun, post: 47072, member: 51"] I'm sorry, didn't mean it man! 1998: I was riding unfamiliar territory in unreclaimed mining areas when I crested the top of a hill at speed to find a chasm on the other side and a near vertical wall. I pile drove myself into the face of it! It was really ugly! I lost consciousness and awoke to find my bike on top of me bleeding gas on my chest. My buddy came up to the hill and pulled the bike off me. I sat upright and my right shoulder was under my chin.! Not good! In my daze, I remember my buddy saying, "Dude! You are Effed UP" The jackass even took out a disposable camera and took a picture of me saying, "You'll appreciatiate this later" I popped my shoulder back in the socket with a push. "Your eyes were as big as dinner plates!" If you have ever something taken out of joint, like a finger, you know the immediacy of making it right as soon as possible! I tore the shoulder up good requiring about $25K in reconstructive surgery. They had to reattach the ligaments to my bone with screws and washers. They had to cut some other shit out, (Bursa?), plus "decompressing" the joint, I forget, but he said it will help you when you get older, since these injuries come back to haunt you years after your piss and vinegar wears out. All said and done, 12 weeks recovery, the other 36 weeks just babying the joint! You can't mess with a major A + B point on your body without tender care and making sure it's right for the rest of your life. Just sayin! Be careful and do all the prescribed PE! [/QUOTE]
