calperin Posted January 27, 2013 #1 Posted January 27, 2013 Guys, It will be a long winter for me... Last monday I had an accident driving to my job, and as a consecuence of it I had a broken knee cap, planed a surgery for tomorrow and my SUV totallized by the insurance... It seems that I'll need to stay immobilized during 6 to 8 weeks after the surgery, but I hope I can still work from home... Of course, if the company agrees with that. So, all my projects for redo valves on the bike, and sell the RS 97 has been stopped so hard as the crash... I'll let you know about my progress. Carlos Alperin AKA Calperin :sick::sick:
mini-muffin Posted January 27, 2013 #2 Posted January 27, 2013 Ouch that hurts just thinking about it. Glad you're ok otherwise. Hopefully the surgery will fix you all up and in time you'll be back on a bike or just walking on two feet. Let us know how the surgery goes. I'm guessing you'll have a bit of time on your hands. Margaret

bongobobny Posted January 28, 2013 #17 Posted January 28, 2013 Yup, downright sux Carlos!! Sometimes our best laid plans just don't work out! Well, make the best of it anyway and try to think of it as a 2 month vacation I guess...
Phoneman1981 Posted January 28, 2013 #18 Posted January 28, 2013 Glad you were not injured more severely. Good luck on the surgery. Heal well and get back on.
Marcarl Posted January 28, 2013 #19 Posted January 28, 2013 Not good Carlos,, banged up knee and bummed up truck,,,, don't worry too much about the knee,, that will heal,,,, now about the truck,,was it a Chevy? Will be thinking about ya. Just think about this a pre-retirement.
XV1100SE Posted January 28, 2013 #20 Posted January 28, 2013 Hope the surgery goes well ! Get well soon.
pmelah Posted January 28, 2013 #21 Posted January 28, 2013 Calperin i know how you feel as i am recovering from my bike accident in nov get plenty of rest and heal fast keep us posted on how your surgery goes today
Trader Posted January 28, 2013 #22 Posted January 28, 2013 Well....on the bright side, I guess if it had to happen this is the time of year to do it. By the time the temps warm up and the sun shines hopefully you will be back into riding shape!
calperin Posted January 29, 2013 Author #23 Posted January 29, 2013 Guys, Thanks a lot for all your comments. Marcarl, In this case I'm more worry for the knee cap than for the truck. Yes it was a trailblazer, and is totallized. Surgery was completed, and painfull. Yesterday and today where two painfull days, Next 8 weeks for recovery. And it will be critical. Since the number of pieces, if it doesn't heal fine from the first time, the second surgery will be for knee cap removal... Again, thanks for all the comments.... Carlos:backinmyday::backinmyday:
mini-muffin Posted January 29, 2013 #24 Posted January 29, 2013 Well we'll all be hoping and praying and whatever else it takes to get that healed. Do what the doc says and hopefully in 8 weeks you'll be saying it's all better. Margaret
