Surgery Today On Thumb

[okckeith]

Well I am having surgery today on my thumb. Looks like I will be out of the saddle for a few months. I broke a bone and tore a ligament in my right thumb. I go back in two weeks. At that time they will remove the stitches. Then I get a cast for four weeks. Oh what fun! I hope to be back in the saddle by this spring.

That sux... hope you heal faster than expected.

Not sure if it'll be fun; but, I'll bet you'll like how the thumb works after it's done!

Good luck and here's hoping you heal well and quickly!

Then I get a cast for four weeks.

Hmm, how big of a cast do you need for a thumb, I thought they would just give you one of those U-shaped splints.

Gives you time to savor the Steelers victory!

Are you going to be in the cast for a year?

 

[970mike]

Wow that is not good. Hope you can ride soon. Heal well!

 

[Dinkie Diesel]

Keith, I have about dozen replies ready and waiting. For now I'll just pass along my sympathy and hope all goes well. With any luck you won't miss the start of the riding season. Try not to put your eye out when you reach up to itch your nose.

How did you break it? I might be moving back to OKC this summer...maybe we could ride.

That sucks. Heal up fast and completely.
I'd figure you'll be back in the saddle by spring.

I fell in the kitchen. I hit my hand on the counter top. I will be ready to ride before summer. I look foward to meeting you. Just to warn you, coop shows up at some of the RTE's. I hope you can handle the laughter

 

[okckeith]

Well I'm getting ready to leave for surgery. Thanks for all the well wishes. Dinkie and Coop, please be nice while I'm unable to defend myself! Like that's going to happen.

Aha...I wondered where that other bottle of bourbon went during ArkanSToc. Now, I guess we know where it went. Keith...Didn't I teach you anything buddy. You have to take that stuff in moderation. lol Here is two thumbs up for a super quick recovery: :yes::yes:

 

[W0QNX]

Heal fast Keith, get one of those throttle assist wing things and just hold'er wide open...

HIHO silver!!

Good luck and heal well my friend.

There isn't any reason you can't still come on the site and participate. Your thumb won't keep you from typing like you always do........with your index fingers.:crackup

 

[John Anthony]

Heal well and keep us posted on your progress.

Looks like Keith is in good hands! He has a left-over airline nip if the pain gets to be too bad.

Coop told me the whole story. I thought I should share since Keith is so modest. Keith was chasing the Mrs. around in the kitchen wearing only a pair of socks. Socks, a tile floor and a libido equals a broken thumb. Glad none of the other extremities were damaged. Way to go KP!​

 

[bygdawg]

LOL...That is either a very small bottle of JB or one large hand.

 

[Fred D]

Let us know if you need any help schlepping stuff around while you mend!

 

[Uncle Phil]

KEITH - Good luck on your surgery. That business about no riding for while ain't no fun at all!

 

[Coop]

Save some pain meds for Sunday!! And heal fast!!
