    Well they do an xray in a month but they'll have a mk1 eyeball at it when they take it out in 6-9 months. Last time I ended up much more comfortable sleeping on the repaired side than I had ever before. After it was out of course.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Coo the physio was interesting. Spent too long recording data but did get into some assisted moving. Then exercise. Did this one with a stick over your head while lying down. So the other hand can assist. Almost went to cut the rake down for trying at home, but then remembered the spare bars under the house. Pretty sure thats what she meant.

    Big improvement in range already, but there's an area to get over that the tendons go over the plate that's gross.

    Motivated to ride in two weeks. Every day several times I must.

    Sounds all positive Dave, its easy to skip some of the physio. My dog gets physio every day, I wish I was so committed when I need it, but he has no choice , Mrs would have something to say if I forgot him
    My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues

    Well finally got to work on the 50. All I found were some shards of plastic, that clear stuff that sits on the top of the whirlpool had broken some bits off and they appeared perhaps had got stuck between the tube and housing. Cable, needle and carb body are impeccable.

    Thought about going for a ride today, sat on the road bike and it felt good. But keep getting these pains so decided to wait at least a week so I can handle heavy braking etc.

    Settled for cleaning the dirt bike that got put away dirty.

    This plate is too stuck out or something, I feel it during many movements and just raising my arm past halfway you have to bounce the tendons over click click.

    Still movement and strength are much better. I can do stuff like work on the bikes.

    ...I highsided at Methven, last time round...wiped out the left side of my CB and the left bits that stick out on my body...was all cool until the extreme heat we have been having turned to cold...the shoulder now feels like it just got smashed up yesterday...I'm going to go and swing on a chair now...it seems like the right kind of progression...it may just cure this problem...

    Be nice to have a shoulder that didn't keep you awake in the small hours.

    Welcome to old age - if it isn't the shoulder, something else will keep you awake...

    Did an ankle over a week ago, being tiresomely slow coming right. Levels this weekend so i'll have to insist Kev parks and pits in the row nearest the track instead of the usual half bloody mile back....

    You need a pit bike like my $30 bmx. Sgreat for getting to the bog at Ruapuna, which is specifically why I bought it & small enough to pack.

    Good idea except for the bank between pits and track at Levels. Not being by any definition, fit, i'd still have to get off and climb the bloody bank.
    Quite sure if i produced a powered one, I'd be screamed at to put on a bloody helmet...

    Well after a week where some days I was going to show to the clinic thinking I'd rebroken it,. . . its been a bit better later in the week. To the point that I took the road bike out for a trundle just before. Not up to much manhandling of it parking but a simple ride was great. My fairly new helmet made it hard to smile, but riding is awesome.

    Well this blows. Good news is the xray looked good today. But apparently they have to leave it in 6 months of which there is 4 left so end October. Depression. I can't even lift my arm without it clicking uncomfortably. Oh well fuckit. Best shut my bitching and get on with it.
