Thanks Pokey.  Finally starting to be in a little less all over pain.  Now its just hanging out in the actually hurt parts.  Still cant move the right arm much at all.  Heading back to the doctor today.  It been really nice weather out all week for riding so its really a brain screw trying to figure out what my next step is going to be.  I've already decided I won't buy another bike until next year.  Maybe that green color will make it here next year.

That is good that you are healing up, it may be slow going but at least you are making progress.  Take care.

Just got the update that the bike is a total loss.  I kinda had already figured that out.

I wrecked last July, and am still healing up, too. Hang tight, and hope you don't need a skin graft, they are annoying. :P

I can't believe I missed this thread! I didn't know what happened until I called Trey this week.
It's a real bummer.

Heal up soon, Buddy. I'm not done riding with you yet. 8)

Hey Corp,
I have been watching this threads for a while, and thought I'd drop you a note.
Glad your ok, sorry about the bike, of course.
I will give you some advice about the knee injury. Be very careful with the patela tendon tear, it is not just painful it can allow the knee cap to drift and then damage blood vessels.
Surgey is easy and is usually scoped, and usually necessary. I have done some kind of knee surgery 6 times, from all my yrs on a football field. I hope you have a orthopedic doctor that has some good advice, good luck, and keep the break dancing to a minimum and heal fast.
Ride safe all.
Greg

going to ortho tomorrow for the shoulder.  mri showed 3 partial tears and one full tear with a broken humerous (it aint funny though.) really unhappy with how little the doctor ive seen since i was 12 seems to have no urgency on any of these injuries.  its been two weeks.  i could be healing from surgeries already.  thanks again for all the support you all are a good group.

Hopefully your surgery will be scheduled soon so you can start the healing process.  Take care bud.

Patience will reward you!  They need time for the swelling to go down, no sense in getting a procedure done that wasnt required.  Heal smart, dont overdo anything, it will only delay the healing process.  Patience, patience, and more patience.  Take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning ;)

Like SOP said, be patient and don't over do it. Next time I ride Push Mountain I will have your accident on my mind, maybe that will slow me down a little, the ditches through there do look rough. Get well soon but don't re-injure yourself doing something you shouldn't.

I think you should consider a new doctor. They're like mechanics: a few damn good ones and the rest are mediocre at best. My effed-up hearing is courtesy of the latter.

But seriously, YOU need to take charge of your care and recovery. Get thee to a specialist.

Go over to thumpertalk.com  One of the best ortho docs in the world (Sanderson) has his own forum there and he passes out good advice and debunks what a lot of other docs say and do. His clinic in Houston gets a LOT of riders and he's on my short list (real short; his is the only name) if I get fracked up racing. That he's not local is not a problem, nor is he insanely expensive and only deals with rock stars. He's a rider. One of us. He specializes in knee injuries and right now that sounds like something you need.

Going under the knife next thursday to repair the shoulder.  He is hoping to be able to scope it but said no big deal if not.  He did not seem worried about the knee.  All the tendons seem to be where they need to be.  He said swelling is whats stopping the movement in the knee.  All in all im just still very happy that I'm okay and I think I'll be able to fully recover from these injuries within reason anyway. 

One last lesson learned from me because I replay this in my head a lot every day.  When the sh1t hits the fan and things are going crazy still try to make the turn.  I remember giving up on making the turn early on in the process of crashing.  Then Jeremy's voice keeps ringing out with one of the first things he said to me "all you had to do was turn man".  I'll check in again after some healing happens.

Eyeballs are like the sights on a rifle, things tend to go in the direction aimed!  All I gotta say is thanks for manning up, may save someone else the grief and pain.  Well wishes on surgery and a speeding recovery!

snip'   Then Jeremy's voice keeps ringing out with one of the first things he said to me "all you had to do was turn man".  I'll check in again after some healing happens.

All I can tell you is what I saw from behind and you were definitely not exceeding the C14's limitations or your own from when I followed you the last time we rode Push Mountain.  Looking at the road and where you started to head for the shoulder/ditch, there didn't appear to be anything that would have caused you to lose traction.  But I didn't take the same line as you and I'm not a traffic investigation expert either, so there might have been some sand or gravel dust that caused your front end to wash out.  I am just glad that you are still around to make the decision on if and when you ride again.  Take care brother.
