You're doing very well in the good scores department for replacement parts, Rob !

I am certain that the "Ron Paul" Cycle will be plying the backroads of the midwest this springtime !

How is the hand, leg, etc. doing this week?

Perhaps a large ingestion of turkey, stuffing and gravy will help expedite the recovery ?

[size=12]Yeah, I received the mount plate today.  It is so new, it still has pieces of the factory warehouse stickers on the back!  It can't have been used very long.  

Also, one of the guys here is sending me a front fender for $35 +ship!


The body is doing better.  My knee is almost "normal" for light duty, so I am trying not to push it.

The left hand as a whole is coming along nicely, with the index finger almost having full bendability and a little bit of knuckle showing through the puffiness that is still evident all over.  The scab for the pin that went into the tip of my ring finger fell off the other day!  I was happy with that sign of progress.
Mostly it is my left shoulder that is giving me the most pain, if I move it certain ways - so I just try not to move it there...

And I went to see my general doctor last week and she gave me a hug!  She's so nice...

Well good for you Rob - great to hear that you are on the mend - and I think I can see part of the reason  ::)

Down boy!

And my healthcare pays for our "dates"  ;)  (too many painkillers?)

Sounds like things are going along pretty well for you Rob! Thank goodness!

Great to hear you're continuing to mend, Rob!  

Keep us posted on your recovery and bike restoration.  (Or is it your restoration and bike recovery?)

 ;)

Wow Rob.  I'm sorry I've been out of pocket for a few months, and even sorrier to see what news I was missing.

Glad to hear you're mending, and that the Bronco Brown will see a new life.
