Accident update/Good deal

[whozleft]

Here’s the last update on what has transpired since my wreck on Sept. 4th.

As some of you might remember, when they did the CT scan after the accident, they had found enlarged lymph nodes in my chest area and also a suspicious look spot on my left lung. The two things together added up to trouble.

 

I got into see a pulmonologist last week. He brings up my CT scan while my wife and I sat in his office. Takes a look and begins to tell us that the other doctors had made a mistake when they looked at the scan. Yes, I do have enlarged lymph node (twice what they should be) and it’s called sarcoidosis. There is over a 99% chance it will never turn cancerous. Then he looks for the spot on my lung that they were so worried about and tells me not to worry about that either. Apparently I have a blood vessel that is a little bigger than normal for that spot in the lung. He zoomed in on it and said, look, see how you can trace it? So it’s all great news. My wife and I were very relieved.

 

The insurance company stopped by my house Saturday morning and gave me a check to total out the bike. So it’s gone for good. I’m not sure if I am going to ride again right now. With winter coming I have some time to think about that part.

 

So here’s the deal of the day. I have an older Neosho 16 cu/ft Starlight trailer, 8” wheels painted black and red that needs some cosmetic work. It is road worthy, has a spare tire and rack for a cooler on the front. I don’t have pics right now but will get. I will sell the trailer and my Sears motorcycle jack both for $150.00. If anyone is interested let me know. The trailer really needs some body work and maybe a paint job, or the frame could be used as the start of a trailer project. I have pulled it for years, though.

 

 

 

You can e mail me at whozleft@yahoo.com or call me at 740-403-1634. I live just east of Columbus Ohio.

 

 

I am thinking that if I ever do get another bike, I more than likely won't get another tourer. I just don't need that big of bike again. My wife stopped wanting to travel on the bike a couple years ago, so a bigger bike is overkill.

 

 

I appreciate everyone's prayers and good thoughts through these past 3 weeks. I am so glad that I can call the VentureRiders my family.

 

 

Tak care and ride safe.

EXCELLENT news on the medical front!! The trailer sounds good but I have difficulty getting out of the state of Washington so the chances of me getting it are not very good.

So glad to hear everything turned out for the good, Gary. My family lives in Col's and had heard about your accident and wondered if I knew who it was. At least your mind is clear now about your health (that's why they call it "practice" medicine!) and you can move on to other things.

We hope to see you back out here on the road again sometime. Remember-----

 

"You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave", you're here forever with us now.

Gary,

 

Good news from the Doc this time.

 

Consider one of the Tour Deluxes if you get a new machine. It'll be familiar to you, but not quite as top heavy and it rides well.

Thank God

Good news!!! Glad to hear it!! If I had something to pull that trailer with right now I might be interested but just not ready for it.
