How is PEANUT?

[quicktoy]

ned man, im glad your ok..i guess this happened after we left...remeber bro, its a bike..it can be fixed..just make sure your good to go...did they do MRIs?  If not, you may wanna think about it, cause when i had them done, they said i was fine and when i went to a neurologist in daytona, he got the MRIs sent to him and told me about the brain hemorhaging.

Keep your head up man, and we hope to see you at savannah

Dafan, Greg,  Gian, and everyone, thanks.  i'm sore as hell but seem to be getting a bit better if i don't over due it.  i looked at my x-rays last night and other than i don't know what i'm really looking at, they look great!  lol.  i took the cast off already and am wearing a wrist guard so i can ice my wrist/hand, if it's not broke no need for a cast.  i can't get ice on my back though so i'm using a heating pad.  i have the urge to start working on the bike, maybe i can get to it soon.  

i really want to go back to vir and go down the hill again, i don't want that to become a fear issue.  on another note, my girlfriend already hinted that she supports me but is a bit worried now. i guess showing her the "faster" dvd wasn't such a good idea.   :-/

scott, i didn't get a mri, i'm scheduled to go to a doctor on friday morning.  my head does hurt to the touch, but i've been known to be a bit hardheaded so probably nothing to worry about. :) but i'll think about that, thanks

seemed like alot of us going down this weekend, everyone pushing to hard?  changing track conditions?  i'm trying to get a hold of why i ended up on my head and the only thing i can think of was not paying enough attention to when my tires were starting to slide a bit, or there was a bit of dirt on the track down the hill, did i catch it at the wrong time? or the times were good but i've gone that pace before and many others were going faster, maybe just getting tired since it was the 18th lap and i've never been in a race that long?  Maybe it's just hector telling me i was a bit slow down the hill in the mwgp race in the morning and since he was right behind me i just got to heavy handed?

I don't know and it's really bugging me.  

also alot of first year experts are going down quite a bit, is this what happens?  benji's been out of action for 6+ weeks, quick you had the serious head injury, wera's had 2 guys lose there lives, well you get the picture. guys seem to be going down quite a bit each and every weekend, including myself.  it seems expert might be safer from a rough riding standpoint but it opens up all kind of other issues.

oh well, i'm just whining a bit....sorry...

peanut,
it can all be a combination of just wanting to go faster and be in the top 5.... :D bro take it easy and heal up fast.... If you need anything email me and Timmy and I will do the best we can to help out

nut, you should probably go get a MRI, just to be sure nothing is bleeding/inflamed internally x-rays dont say that. God I should know from all my get offs.

down the hill is a bit sketchy when you are trying to race to the finishline. I remember last year when tran passed me down the hill on the last lap for first he almost highsided down the hill, amazingly he saved it. We try to drive down that shute , but it seems to be off camper a bit and we are not straight up and down. I know I should start opening up before getting to the down hill section, should start gettin on the throttle right after you make the right. I know the track is falling away because I wore out a pair of boots dragging my foot there before I got my shock worked on.

take your time to get faster, I know you said you are giving it all this year, but as I realized, it isn't going to come so fast (at least for me) and I am going to take my time and not get myself hurt again. there is no shame to be a fast 2nd or 3rd year expert :) at least I dont think so.

see you out there soon, hope your bike is not too bad. If you need anything, let me know. remember we had grand plans for the end of the year, I still expect to see all yous there ;)

BTW, my girl has not been to a race weekend since my big crash  :( she doesn't really oppose it, but she does not want to come anymore because she does not enjoy it as much, too worried... she went to Daytona but spent all the time at the beach.

I saw your bike,it didn't look great.It's good to hear that you are up & ok,a friend of mine saw you go down said you bounced a couple of times,take your time coming back especially after banging your head.

Well the back and ribs are still sore but the heat has helped quite a bit.

The bad news is the Doc in the ER missed the chip fracture in my wrist so I now have a cast.  I asked if I could get it off in about 20 days (just in time for Roebling) and the orthopedic doctor says 4 to 6 weeks.  :(

But if my math is correct, I've already has a brace on for 5 days now, so if everything feels ok, I'll cut it off on the 22nd.  That a total of 25 days with it laid up, just 3 short of 4 weeks!  ;)

I'm having the X-rays sent to the Doctor who did my right arm surgery (4 hours away), for a 2nd opinion as well.  I still need to go to a back specialist and eye doctor, but they are just for peace of mind.

Not to bad, considering. (I've heard the "bouncing" discription before.....)

Take it easy on that wrist.  I've boken many bones and all healed just fine except my wrist.  It is an amazing and complex joint and can really screw you if you don't do everything possible to get it to heal correctly.

i spoke with hector yesterday and he had me laughing describing his view of the wreck..he was just terrified of topling down that hill himself.

I didnt realize you highsided in the left hand part, man thats a fast area..i thought you tucked the front in the right hand part at the bottom.  Your lucky to be as good as you are bro

glad to hear your alright peanut.. youll be back tearing it up in no time bro.. 8)
