Dustin-

I saw you ride this summer. I know how good you are. I know how much more that will make you miss not being able to ride. The income is one thing but the passion you have for riding is really a driving force that will leave a hole in your life for awhile.

My 10 miles on the Coker tomorrow are for you. The pedals are bright yellow. My backpack sways as I ride and I can hear the orange juice in my lunch gurgling in its plastic container. The air is clean and crisp but it's still well above freezing. I'm pedalling hard enough that I remain too warm for gloves or a windbreaker. Cars go by and slow down as the drivers try to comprehend what they are looking at. I drop down a steep hill to Green Lake Park where a thin mist covers the lake like a silk sheet. I am reaching each traffic light as it turns green and groups of bicyclists part to let me through as they greet me, "nice ride". I am in a city of a million people and I am alone atop a giant, single wheel except for my titanium legged companion who rode with me this one morning.

Not an easy post to read ! Sorry to hear about your recent accident.
Take it easy... get some rest... you'll be up at riding again soon.

Take care,

Darren

Dustin I'm really sorry to hear about your accident. But I know you actually
will be able to recover 100.0%. I did it once from a climbing injury that
was similar but not quite as bad as yours. Some people might be satisfied
with the relatively easy 90-95% part of the recovery, but I know you won't.
You'll work for it and you'll feel great when you get there. And you'll be
back performing by April.

Good luck to you and stay positive!

Dustin,

I know what its like to be laid up with only one leg available. Get some fore-arm crutches, you won't regret it.

Ice is nice. Get well soon...

GizmoDuck · 2002-10-16, 07:27 AM

Ouch!!!

Ouch!!!

Ouch!!!

Sorry to hear about your injury Dustin. Unicycling is such a dangerous sport! I broke my ankle recently and was off for three months- now I still can't run properly. So what's the prognosis- when can you ride again?

Take care,

Ken

Sorry to hear about your injury Dustin.
I have a similar experience but my cases were an elbow joint
hemorrage and an ankle sprain. I feel Still pain on my right elbow
for 2 month but I'm getting better.

I wish you a full recovery!

Dustin,
sorry to hear about your accident - good to know that you are on your road to recovery. I wish you all the strength, support, and love you need to stay balanced without your unis.
Have a speedy recovery,
Fred

Ouch.

I was umming and arrring about going for a ride today because the weather is a bit changeable; but after reading that I'm going. The city walls have been crying out to be ridden round. Making the most of it while you can, and all.

Good luck...

Phil, just me

Sorry to hear about the accident. Best of luck on your recovery. I think I remember you saying something about Active Ankles and riding stairs. Were you wearing them?

gauss · 2002-10-16, 03:34 PM

Dustin, that stinks, man. I hope you are back at it soon. Good luck keeping it together while you sit a few rounds out.

Dustin,

If anyone can recover well from this you can!!!! You can set an expample for those who have been injured.

Heal well and take it slow.

All the best.!!

Dustin,

We've never met but I've been at your website a couple of times and
also remember your "door art" in the faces gallery. That's a real bad
injury you've gotten and it must be a bad time for you now with pain
and discomfort, and not riding of course. But hey, the prognosis is
good it just takes time. Take care, take it easy - and find something
to do...

I just read it, never met you personally, and feel so bad for you. When I hurt my back ( Before I Unicycled) I had to go through therapy and it's no fun. But you can handle it, you seem like a strong, upbeat, responsible person. I wish you the best of luck and take care.

See ya' round, Titan.
