Blew out my knee

A few of you already know, but last weekend, I had an accident on one of my dirt bikes, and dislocated my knee...I did a real number on it, completely tore the ACL, PCL, and MCL, and damage to others, along with some impact damage, a hairline fracture and muscle damage...(I do NOTHING half way)
All this to my "Clutch Leg"....and having 5 manual cars and 8 motorcycles....I'm basically pretty screwed....
Luckily, I had a 01 Forester S model that is an 4EAT car, I was fixing to sell, but guess I'll be keeping it now, for the foreseeable future.

I go to see the surgeon that will be "fixing me" next Weds, hopefully have the surgery the next week, but the recovery time is going to be in months...not weeks, so there will be no chance of me making it to the Reading Meet this year.....Figure I'll be at the Dragon Meet (but may not be driving)

Still have my new garage waiting for me to finish it, but it is at least "Dried in"

Since many here are like my extended family, I thought I'd share my pain.

And any of you that will, say a prayer for my speedy recovery, and others, just well wishes would be great....

I'm one of those people whom hates "just sitting around" and I'm already having "Cabin Fever" symptoms, so I'm hoping to retain my sanity throughout the next few months.

Thanks for listening...
(sucks to be me right now)
