Sure he did...he just ignored it.

He's just curious about the world of Supermotos too.

For the near foreseeable future it looks like anything moto related will be limited to watching videos.  L5-S1 vertebra has a collapsed disc. Degenerative disc disease. Most pain that I've ever been in my entire life and have been reduced to hobbling about with a cane.  Hopefully MRI soon and surgery shortly after. I now have a handicap hanger for my car mirror. Unbelieveable.       

Yikes!! Sorry to hear that Rick.

Now, since at times I may appear to be somewhat normal but usually have some odd twist going on, there is more to the story but not what doctors really want to deal with.  That funky disc problem has been there for some time, possibly years.  It gets a bit complicated ( for me that's normal ) in that I think I may have had a mild case of shingles going on and since that virus likes to hang out in the nervous system around the temporal region in the skull and in nerve openings in the sacroiliac that may have inflamed which is setting all this off.  Especially since I had the first stage shingles vaccine last Sunday and within hours what was some mild discomfort in the sciatica turned into a raging disability.  So the collapsed disc is definitely there and has to be dealt with but there is this other thing too. Whatever, I just want to be able to walk again and, by extension, be able to get back on a bike. Shit...............

Thanks Ben. 

Damn Rick, that's truly a bummer!...

Today is an especially bad day for moving around.  MRI this afternoon.

MRI definitely showing bad disc in L5-S1 along with a synovial cyst applying pressure against the spinal cord.  Getting the meeting on Tues afternoon where we discuss surgery.

Hope they get that fixed...related to your previous neck problem?

The fix is on the horizon. Not related to the previous stuff. Gettin' old ain't for wimps..........

You got that right.  I have either a partially torn rotator cuff, partially torn bicep tendon, or combination of the two...been rehabbing it since mid September with minimal results, MRI scheduled for the 30th...

Surgery for me this coming Friday morning.  Then we see............................

Fingers crossed Rick. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Surgery went well and already showing good results but by no means out of the woods.  Working on that recovery part................
