I may never ride again.
At least in the middle of all this, it doesn’t seem worth it.
The day I wrecked was my anniversary. We were supposed to go into Philly for the weekend with hotel and restaurant reservations.
I can’t work for many weeks, and no work = no pay.
My wife has been extremely supportive, but going through this really makes me take a step back and look at the big picture.
There is soo much more than the fun this hobby gave me for decades, as much fun as it was. I don’t want to miss another anniversary, or any other time. I get joy from other hobbies.
I don’t want to be crippled, disfigured, or out of work for her to have to support and care for me like I am a toddler.
Swelling is almost gone in my leg. It was a giant swollen sausage for a couple days.
Imagine what it would have been without all the gear I wear? That is with really expensive leather pants, shin guards, and armored boots!!

Don’t have a scratch on my hands. Can’t say the same for my gloves. Both ate asphalt.
