Had my surgery today

Took about 2 hours to reassemble and plate the pieces. On a nerve blocker pump for the next 3 days. Wow, does that feel weird. Anyway I don't have that fucking bone floating around bouncing on my nerves anymore everytime I make the slightest move.

Here's to a quick and complete recovery!

Good to hear TM.

Super early check in yesterday. So day started at 3:00. Last oxy pills yesterday. Was so ready for the surgery. Very different from any other injury I've had. I could be so very still with zero pain and the slightest move that stupid bone would move and instantly change to the other end of the painscale, and if the muscles started convulsing, forget it. Everything is plated now to hold in place and presently on a pump nerve blocker for the next couple days. No pain but my arm is deadweight and can't feel it, weird but so much better. Of course it's my right arm. But now I can at least get up and down from a chair and bend over to slide my pants down by myself to piss. Thats huge!

Thanks for all the support.

Heal up moto brother. Support from strangers has been weirdly helpful to me after my injury.

Heal up fast . You’re lucky they did surgery . They not doing back surgeries around here , lack of surgeons. I had the broken bones floating in my back 96 to 10-2-02 I had surgery. Last 2 trks sooo dangerous no steering , ac, no brakes, shocks & seat blown out . Wed I del downtown Chicago in the rain brakes r worse in the rain. Then to the shop too long of a story but the racist 4,5 Mexican want a be boy. Said where not repairing the trk you don’t get a new trk.etc . There for the exp drivers . I said no driver here has 5% of my exp. All the exp white drivers r treated this way , that’s why they work 1-2 weeks and quit. I said I,m not leaving until I m paid. They said I call the cops and hv you removed from the property. I said I will call the police myself. 5 police cars showed up probably due to the fact some drivers start shooting . She said turn in the fuel card and keys. Illegal you can’t fire someone for no reason. She said I didn’t say I fired you. I hv a couple vids of this I stated my name then stated I was trained by a captain of the state police & in charge of the worlds strongest hhg rig trk line. You refuse to do dot safety sensitive repairs, etc. I made more money as a 9 yr old in 1976 bailing hay , so it’s not a loss really. I did my own paper inspections and listed all the defects. Even listed them on the Elog . It illegal to dispatch the trk but they did anyway. Pic of the hood I found that was on it. That’s why the steering box had no steering & eventually locked up tight.

Glad to hear things are headed in the right direction. Prayers for a full and speedy recovery.👍

So once again in my life, I've got to give huge props to the UCSD medical doctors. Yesterday morning I turned off my pain blocker pump. Wanted to see how much pain I was going to deal with. Very surprised it was very little and now I can feel my arm again. The rest is a slow process but the worst is in the rear view mirror. No more strong pain drugs so hopefully my head clears up soon!

I’m no doctor but it doesn’t look red and oozy so that’s good, how soon before you can start moving it around ?

It's like a million percent better. I can move it around now no pain (until I move it where there's pain). No lifting anything and much of the time in a sling but can lift my arm about half way to shoulder height till it's tired, get's tired fast.
