Happened so fast, reflexes took over and my Ferris ends up with a complete rotator cuff tear, goes in for repair about this time tomorrow. Heal fast sweetie, spring is not so far away and we have some riding to do. |

Dangit! That does not sound good at all. Sorry to hear it Jerry. Hope they can fix you up. I know you will have a good nurse. Please let me know if you need any kind of help. Seriously. I'm not that far away. |

Oh Man!! He doesn't have time for stuff like that. His sanity will be in serious danger until the doc says okay, go ahead. Having his own personal Nurse Goodbody will probably be his only hope! Maybe while he's recovering, he'll have time to show us a picture or tell us a story or something. Rotzaruck! |

Good luck Ferris. Rotator cuff was part of what I did to myself in July...it will heal, just give it time. Mine's already around 90%....but you gotta listen to your nurse Take care! |

thx all. slipped and fell on the front deck about five weeks ago, in the rain, landed really hard on my right side. fought the pain for a bit, then caved and made the trip to the ER. nothing to speak of on x-ray, but subsequent MRI confirmed a full-thickness RC tear plus associated bone meal. yes, surgery, open (vs. scope), several hours or so under the knife we're told, plus an overnight hospital stay. that, i think, will be the easy part. rehab will take many months, we're told, possibly into next summer, during which time i cannot initially use my right (dominant) arm. we took a spin up to Mabry Mill on the RK on Sunday, a glorious fall day on the Parkway, and certainly my last bit of riding for a while. thx for the well wishes, and offers of help - very much appreciated. Denise and i are as ready as we can be. the surgery is tomorrow morning sometime (won't know exactly when until later today); i'd appreciate some extra karma sent our way, especially for Denise - she's been taking superb care of me, and will definitely have her hands full in the coming months. take care y'all, FB |

I've been following Ferris's little excursion off the porch at the Ridge Dome for several weeks now. Tough deal, especially when you're a biker and outdoorsman like him. Is there such a thing as a good voodoo doll? I's thinkin' I might make a Ferris voodoo doll and stick him the bike and take him for a ride. Hell we might even stop and for dark beer and fat ceegars if it works. Heal quick brother. Watch yer mailbox. JB2 (Message edited by jb2 on November 04, 2008) |

Ferris c'mon, you gotta have better spin on the story "....I spied the bike falling over from the front porch made a heroic leap. I managed to wedge myself between the bike and the pavement. Didn't even spill my beer. Then the pain......" Heal quick Matt |

My first thought was bike crash. Glad it isn't, though this doesn't sound like a cakewalk either. At least it's schedulable. Heal quick Jerry! |
