OR member quessimasquid went down this morning on his way to work. Not really sure about the details, but I was told he was either cut off or run off the road. He was on St. Rt. 40 West of Springfield when the crash occurred. Went to surgery at 12:30p to get a shiny new titanium rod and plate installed in his lower leg. Per his wife no other injuries were sustained. He will be in the hospital for a couple of nights.

Hope he recovers quickly. Now my question is, why the hell do I have to wait till next Thur. for my damn surgery? Oh yeah, that's right, my surgeons veterinary clinic is backed up.

How long between the injury and the decision to postpone the surgery?

When I broke my nose recently my surgery consult was the day after the injury and I was told the surgery would be postponed until the swelling went down. Same in your case?

Did the driver stop? :rolleyes:

This is why I have a HD dashcam on my bike - give me at least a slim chance of tracking down a hit/run driver. :nono:

Get well, rider.

Yeah, I was just trying to be funny, but yeah, that's why it's delayed, my arm is twice the size it's suppose to be, so they're letting the swelling go down.

How'd his surgery go?

Thanks for the well wishes .. still trying to get a little settled . Good call on the bike camera . Because I hear the law enforcement on scene had there doubts about my version of what happened .. ha ! Oh well . It seems in this case it doesn't matter what he would think but it could have .. anyway ill be off my feet for a while .. good gear protected me from more significant injury and I recommend it very much .
