surgery the 29th

[thrasher_ex]

im having surgery on septmeber 29th to get a bone removed. its an osteochondroma, and thankfully its benine. its about the size of my fist above and on the inside of my right knee. its a little sore. im getting it removed because its annoying, and it has a 10% chance of becoming cancerous later in my life.
i was wondering if anyone has ever had one of these removed and if so, how long was it before you were back to normal? the doc said i have to be REALLY easy on it for 3 months and nothing hard for 6 months because its basically going to take the hard cover off part of my femur.
so yeah i guess that might mean no riding for 6 months. HOLLY F**K, THIS IS GONNA SUCK!!! while i cant ride i plan on fixing a few things onmy quad and selling it, then getting a 450r.

surgery sucks....i had to have surgery on my arm...i broke my arm ridding a wheelie, and the bones were so far separated i had no choice but to have surgery...now i have a rod about 12 inches long in my arm and 2 screws in my arm too....

good luck and speedy recovery

Good luck. Better to get it taken care of now, than to worry about it later. At least most of your recuperating will be during the winter... ;)

Well, everything went great! The surgeon got it all, and while he was operating discovered it was attached to a sprout that attached to my femur, so only a size of about a quarter was removed f/m my femur instead os a size of about my fist! this means recovery will be much faster, and i should be back to normal in 3 months!!:) right now i can barely walk on it so i have crutches. there is a constant block thing which is like an IV going into my leg thats keeping it numb for a few days. so yeah, the block plus a couple Vikaden are pretty cool lol. Oh yeah, i'll never forget getting put to sleep it was like nothing i've ever experienced before lol
