You never know where you’re going to be when shit catches up to you, but you’d better hope it isn’t while you’re watching 10-year-olds lay the trick shit down on a bigger kicker than you got the stones for.
This looks to be the final score for the season. I’ll get a rematch next year. Now to call Pyrofloptic and TheRestlessApe and tell them they are a 2 man for Cool now…
Final diagnosis: Large tear of the lateral miniscus with no other damage. YAY! Some people rip their pants when they squat down, I rip cartilage. How’s that for extreme? Thanks fo Smella for coming to rescue me and taking care of me all afternoon AND evening, and Rob for hobbling me down the hill, and D.LaP for hanging with me in the CandyAss Ward and the Adkins for bringing me pizza.

Oh, shit, Wolfy, that doesn’t sound good. Hope you’re feeling better. Should I bring beer by your house?
Sorry to hear about the accident - getting that thing fixed will be like getting a tooth pulled….or maybe a bad hangover - you’ll be back in the saddle before you know it. Take advantage of your 5-week break to drink beer, watch movies…maybe start that TBS comic strip?
Here’s the REAL kick in the scrote: No beer w/ vicodin…
Talked with Dr. Porus a minute ago and he says after looking @ the MRI he wants to fast track it. Tongaroo said he’d do anesthesia, so I should be slicing and dicing by tuesday. But all in all it’s not that big a deal so they say.
Sounds like Pyrofloptic will take my place in the CreamPuff, maybe JR or LowCO2 can ride for TBS @ Cool?

Good luck with the surgery and recovery. Now start working on a better story than this “kneeling down to take a picture” crap. Who says no beer and vicodin? I say screw them and give it a whirl. But then I don’t always listen to my doctors so my advice might not be the sagest. So it goes.
I guess I’ll just have to drink some PBR for you. That’s the kind of guy I am.
Cheers,

Going in Tuesday @ 9:30. Should go well. Hopefully the kangdiggity will hook me up with the good shit. Maybe I can get Smella to take me over to GBB for the pre-Cool meetup.

You definitely should mix pound the pain meds and a barley pop or two at GBB. I agree with Reedster in that there needs to be a story about diving into a burning bus full of little kids and on your fifth trip out you tweaked the knee. Bending down??? At least my broke leg in ‘05 involved a tele turn gone horribly wrong.
I almost forgot to tell you that I have Battlestar Galactica Season 3 on dvd and am almost finished so I could bring the first few discs over at your request…
(Just between you and me I also own all 7 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on dvd…if you haven’t ever seen it now may be your chance to watch what was the best show on tv…)
We need season 3 disc 6 of BSG if you have it… Do you have season 2?
Moved the deal back to 3:00. No food, coffee or beer until then.

Everything went well. Dr was able to repair rather than remove the damage. So that means longer recovery, but more or less good as new. Would write more, but I get coffee this am…

so this is what we all have to look forward to as we grow up (get old)…
my knees have made the Rice Krispi sound since i busted them up crashing my bmx bike in 5th grade. the wrists are damaged goods from slamming on mtn bikes and high speed motorcycle dismounts. i can only imagine the arthritis i may eventually get to live with.
good thing i have some low impact hobbies to fall back on - academia, analytical organic chemistry, and not to overlook a budding interest in zymurgy!
i am very glad to hear you have a positive prognosis, Wolfy.
It’s gonna be a rough ride. Video Chatted w my parents last night. Dad’s recovering from surgery to fix bone damage to his tow and foot, Mom’s recovering from a skiing related knee sprain. So we’ll see how they do in a couply of years. All we can do is try to beat ourselves up as bad as we can and count on modern medecine keeping us happy and our feeble common sense keeping us alive.
