There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Thanx for the B-day wish...The new me!

I would think that if an animal sideswiped Jim or he hit an animal, there would have been at least some blood and fur on the bike and / or on the road. A similar possibilty may be that Jim swerved to avoid an animal and lost control.
If there's no evidence of a collision with another object, it has to be either operator induced or a mechanical malfunction of the bike (unless we want to speculate about UFOs or secret government machines).

I'm thinking a deer too - and that is how his eye got all messed up - it's antler got him

I think my wife and I have decided to finish out with just a conversation over the phone with one of the fellow riders at the scene. Guess I had no response with them for over a minute, they thought I was passing away. While those last pics are small, I have a link to full size images...Seeing them has made better sense of the final resting spot of everything much better than the police report. However, what in the world caused me to not only leave my lane, but use the entire space of that shoulder and hit that guard rail and then the rock face is going to remain unsolved for now. What's done is done, I survived and am healing nicely.

Week 8 is rolling by, had my second appointment with the knee surgeon since the surgery and HA HAAAAAAAA...once again, suprised another. Down time for now has been reduced 2 weeks...possibly sooner. They were suprised to learn I have done this all myself, recent labor changes lost my specified physical therapy appointments. The left hand is still on hold for it's thumb surgery and the torn ligaments between the index and middle finger seem to be healing. The fingers being taped together seemed to really help that. The hairline in the right seems to be very near healing. Even though the equipment isn't for body building, the boost in calories, nutrition seems to finally be paying off. The amount of weight and strength lost over that short period has been tough to regain. I can't believe how much was lost so quickly. I will be really happy once the blood thinners prescription is finally over, I think they may be causing part of this.:2thumbs:

You are clearly highly motivated. A person with less motivation with regular physical therapy might not have done as well as you are doing. Good for you!!:clap:
I hope your good progress continues. You deserve a major pat on the back for working so hard to regain as much function as possible!!
Rehab isn't for the weak of heart or spirit. I'm so glad you feel good enough to be working so hard towards your recovery!! Hope you continue to surprise your doctors with how well you are doing! :bowdown:

You are doing great, keep up the good work!!! Those tibeal plateau fractures are rough. My wife suffered one over four years ago. Like you, she worked her backside off and surprised the doctors, who said she might not even walk again. Keep amazing them!!! I agree that the blood thinners take a toll. Narcotics, too. The worst thing is actually just the injury and the surgery. Even with a simple knee replacement and pre-conditioning, I dropped several inches of muscle, and am only half way back to normal after five weeks of hard PT plus several exercise sessions a day on my own. Like you said, amazing how much is lost so quickly. You will come back! Set high goals, work hard, and don't get discouraged. These things take more time than we ever realize. :2thumbs::thumbup::2thumbs::thumbup::2thumbs:

Well, it's not "officially" close to return to work time, but I have been ready for weeks now. I am in doctor hiatus, I think they really want me home a full 6 months...I have been rubbing the same 2 pennies together for so long, I have 2 slivers of razor thin copper and 3rd degree burns on my thumb and finger. After 16 weeks of physical therapy 2~3 times a day while on blood thinners for a clot, my hand is so repaired...no surgery is required.
All in all, the shattered eye socket that was repaired healed great and with 20/20 vision despite the eye being diagnosed as blind. The subdural hematoma and contusion are healed and confirmed via testing. The left hand along with left and right wrists are excellent. The left shoulder and pectoral work great. My leg still needs some mass and explosive movement, but I'm ready!!!

Jim, That is great news! You obviously worked hard and still have a great attitude. It must have helped tremendously. Thanks so much for keeping us informed. Best wishes on your return to work...whenever the doctors say "Go!" :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
