FYI: 3½ months after the cow incident in Moz, screws might do the trick to help the scaphoid fracture to heal.. off to hospital soon.. and off my bike for another 8 weeks! No

Hope you heel up real soon.

Agree with all - 8 weeks might seem long - but time does go by and before you know it you will be back on the wheels again. Sterkte en Voorspoed.

Good luck, Dani.

But you will obviously not be gone for 8 wks? You still can type cleverly well with one hand!

Will be taking my bike tomorrow for a ride after 10 days rest. Also had a little op in the left hand a week ago. Funny how one misses the use of a thumb when there is a problem. Couldn't even operate the speedo cruise on the RT.

Now it's OK again

hope all is well......fully bionoc now, better than before.

On the bright side, "statistics" show, in those 1 in 5 000 000 chance of hitting the tie down of a cow, metal is much more resistant than bone Laughing
