I have a long-held contempt for doctors who tell me what I will not be able to do in the future. I've not suffered this particular kind of injury myself but others that I know from many years of motorcycling and bicycling have suffered similar if not substantially worse injuries. Recovering is sometimes a slow process ... but they all went back to their bikes after recovering sufficiently and continue to ride today, if they haven't stopped riding for other reasons. Every single one of them was told "you might not be able to ride your bike again" by some supposedly well-meaning physician. These dolts don't figure for what passion and personal motivation means... We can do practically anything we want with our minds and bodies, if our heart is in it. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
