Jay Lawrence update

[JayRacer37]

Hi guys,

I thought I had best send you a quick update on how I am. I have just been to the Hospital yesterday to get another update and more x-rays. It looks like the collarbone is ok and normal, and seems to be healing well. The wound (from the footpeg breaking through my leathers) in my armpit on the same side as the collarbone is healing well with no infection, although the scar is very tight from where some flesh had to be cut away to clean it up. This means that at this point the scar is limiting my movement on the left side, not the collarbone. I'm hoping that this will loosen up as I can move it more, because I don't want to have to go back for a skin graft to expand it! :)

On the other side of my body, the break in my humerus is a bit more serious. Because it is so high up the bone (essentially the ball joint of my shoulder has broken off the bone) and the break is so far through the bone, the blood flow through the break has been comprimised so it is very slow to heal. Doctors say that I should be OK to ride a bike again in about three months. It seems like a long time, but I think that I will have plenty to think about in the meantime!

On the plus side, I have been driving the car again, so I just have to get my exitement from that for now!

Hopefully I will get back to you soon with some better news. :)

Cheers,
Jay Lawrence.

Nice to hear that you are healing well Jay (albeit slowly). Best wishes and look forward to seeing you out on the track before too long :sunny:

Looking forward to seeing you in action again soon. 3 months isn't long in the grand scheme... hang in there

Glad to hear you're on the mend Jay, keep up the good work.:) In the meantime keep your hand in it (not on it) and play some MotoGP games on the Xbox or PS!;)

[saul]

Mate that is tough hang in there and heal up well:hug:

[White trash]

Jay, all I can say is I hope this serves as lesson to you son. This is what you get for trying to be like me and Drew.

NO ONE crashes like a Dalton mate, we've had heaps more experience than you young whipper snappers.

[Nasty]

Mate .. that news was not too bad as it was ... you are healing well .. if not a little slow .. but hey thats not really new is it??? ... those tissue expanders are really cool .. if you want to speak to someone who has had it done give me a yell and i will get you in contact with my big sis ... she has a couple of them ... and it was amazing ;)

[Tony.OK]

Glad to hear your mending Jay...............slowly is way better than not at all. Hope ta catch ya trackside :soon:

Aww spoken like a true Suzuki rider:shifty:

[Number One]

Good to hear that things are healing up even if a little slower than you'd like. As you can drive the car make sure you also make up for lost time by giving that lady of yours lots of hugs :sunny:

[WarrenW]

good to hear that all is going well. Keep us posted eh.

[cowpoos]

me and Drew.



Drew and I ?

[Clivoris]

Sweet man. That news is definitely more good than bad. Enjoy the rest.

[FROSTY]

sounsds like bloody good news to me young fella.
Not that Im any expert but Id suggest as soon as ya can start swimming.

[Duke girl]

Thanks for the update on your healing process Jay. I know that having the injuries you sustained in you accident down South can be sometimes frustrating as all you want to do is get to that time in your life where you will be back in the riders seat doing what it is that you are good at and Love, but you must give your body that time that it needs to fully recover.
I know it wont be long and we will see you out there racing again and when that time has arrived I know that there are alot of us out there who will be wishing you all the best. Good luck with the remainder of your healing process and Please keep us up to date with it all ok?. Takecare.

[F5 Dave]

Hey Jay glad to hear it is coming along, hope that shoulder does it's thing & gets back like new. As i learn more about this stuff (my collarbone is taking a while, still feels broken 4 weeks on) the more i hear,- yes you can get back on & ride but it takes another 6 weeks or so to after it is 'healed' get strong enough to risk crashing on without bad consequences.

[R1madness]

Good o ya Jay. Keep positive and listen to the surgeon. Let your pain guide you on your recovery. dont work too hard but dont be a pussy either.
Good luck with your racing future mate. You still have a lot of quailty racing in ya. be good to see ya back next year ready to take it to them.......

[Racin Jason]

Good to hear things are healing up. Have you put on weight like me?

Hopefully we will see you on track soon. Keep on keeping on.

[325rocket]

Glad its not too bad.

Have you considered using your downtime / knowledge to raise some cash (to fund your next season) by running a rider training day at manfield? I guess you couldn’t ride yourself but you could incorporate a “class room” lesson and pointers session. Im not sure how it would work but im sure it could be done.

id be in.

[sisterecho]

Have you put on weight like me?



We both have. It's hard not to when there's nothing else to do!
