Update and prayer request
Patrick:
I thank God for Chiropractors. I was born with a slight case of Scoliosis and have been going to Chiro's all my life. Just recently (1 week ago Saturday), I crashed on the desert bike at high speed (training for a 250 mile race) and hurt myself pretty bad. Diagnosis; 3 cracked ribs, dislocated shoulder, fractured elbow, hip pointer (we think, have not had x-ray; but have bad swelling and slight pain in hip), various hematoma from shoulder to knee, and hyperextended knee. I refused to have the helicopter come pick me up, so I had a friend help me get my shoulder back in position and I rode the bike 25 miles back to the LZ (no damage to the motorcycle ::)).
I'm not out of the wilderness/woods just yet, but I believe my chiro is helping me the best he can right now; not much can be done about most of the injuries except lots of rest and heat and ice applications. The shoulder dislocation is not something new; has been a problem for several years (sometimes it even pops out in my sleep, very painful way to be woke up).
My mother is very upset with me right now for several reasons; 1. she hates me racing motorcycles (always has, always will), 2. I won't go see a "real" physician, 3. I won't give up racing even after the expense of this last "get off", and 4. "will you ever grow up?"
I know some folks think Chiro's are quacks, but they have been helping me all my life.

I'm sorry to hear about your accident Patrick. It sounds terrible! And then to have already had a problem with Scoliosis. You must be in a lot of pain after cracking ribs, dislocating your shoulder, fracturing your elbow, various hematoma from shoulder to knee, and hyperextended knee. Ouch! My husband fell on the ice and got a small hairline fracture in his hand and was in a lot of pain.
I'm with your momma on this one. 1) Get off that motorcycle! 2) Go see a real doctor! 3) Give up racing! 4) And Grow up! LOL ;)
Don't you know you stress your momma out every time you get on that bike? :o
I hope you take care of yourself and heal up.... and momma knows best! LOL :D
Blessings, Paula ;)

Dang Patrick! I was wondering where you've been! I'm so sorry to hear of your accident; you are blessed that God has plans for your life ;) (NOW... don't you regret not staying here in West
Texas and settling for a horse instead of a motorcycle??? ;) ;D; (like Longhorn has? I couldn't resist Longhorn, you are so PICK-ON-ABLE). I am glad that you are getting the treatment that you need! A nice long soak in Epsome salts will help you tremendously.) Plus, it is unanimous...get rid of the motorcycle, let mama rest and enjoy you in one peice, and MAMA DOES KNOW BEST ;D
