Good Luck Bash!

We all are pulling for him... and as I keep saying... anything either of you need, just whistle.

[COS Mille]

Damn, Thanks for the update, glad it's settled down. You know to call if you need anything. VW

Thanxs as always you tell that beautiful wife of yours thank you sooo much for talking to me last night and letting me just explode on the phone. I was truly at a low level and pretty damn scared to say the least. Let her know that letting me vent out to her was so what I needed. Thank you again V you don't know how much you helped just by listening.

[Nick_Ninja]

Thoughts are with the Bashmeister.

Sorry to hear there were complications to the surgery but glad it looks like they caught it and can resolve the problem.

If they need blood or anything let us know.
(Can't use mine, not human. But I can collect some from other people.)

I guess it is Good morning guy's

Mikey update hopefully this will be the last one I will do and Mikey can take over from here.

Had his second surgery tonight and the Dr removed about a liter's worth of a blood clot from the backside of his leg. Everything else in their looked real good they flushed out and found no leaking veins ect. that is very good. We also decided that a blood transfusion was the best route to take to get him on the road to recovery, his blood levels were just not coming up. That way his body wouldn't be doing double work trying to heal itself and regenerating red blood cells. It will get Mikey feeling much better much quicker. 3 Units in total.
Unfortunately this evening when they brought him back up to the room I had to see my hubby in more pain and agony than I have ever witnessed before I thought when his hip was dislocated I would never have to see him in that kind of pain ever again. I was wrong what I witnessed this evening was horrible for him. But he is a strong guy body and mind and was doing his best to get through it. As his wife all I could do was try and comfort him and let him know that it will pass and get better, the feeling of helplessness was completely and totally overwhelming.
Tomorrow is going to be a little tough pain wise for him, but Dr promised me and him that by Sunday he will be hauling ass around the Ortho floor and most likely PT will throw him out because he will be terrorizing them and keeping them hopping.
So they will get to know the real Mikey that we all know and love.

So barring any unforeseen complications (and personally I or Mike can't take anymore) he will be home on Sunday evening.

Then the fun really begins for me.

Typical Honda...leaking.

Chrissy thanks for the updates, we're thinking of you and praying for you as well. Stay strong sister.

[dirkterrell]

Here's hoping he's past the worst of it. Many years ago when I had to have my shoulder rebuilt after a nasty dislocation in a football game, the guy in the room next to mine had dislocated his hip. I thought I was in pain until I saw him.

Hang in there Krissy. Don't shoulder it all yourself.

Hip pain is the best pain (really the worst pain) you can have. After the surgery on my neck where they took bone from my hip, I thought the hip hurt far more than the neck. I think you'll find the next few weeks a real adventure. You will remember this time as the creative sleeping challenge!!! Glad you are past the worst of it, now just get better soon, ok? And if you need someone to exercise the bikes or need anything give me a call....

[RF900guy]

We support our own. Let the group know if you need anything. We are w ealth of knowledge and tools.

I have a inflatable seat pad (from my time when the ex was in the hospital) if you need it.

[636chick]

As always thanxs so much guy's.

We are pretty sure that Mikey will be coming home today sometime!!!!!!

Scott and I saw him last night and boy what a difference a day makes!!!!!!
Still having some pain but nothing like the past 3 day's. Between the blood transfusion and the surgery to remove the clot he is back to where he should have been early last week (insert big sigh of relieve here). Color is back somewhat and he was alert and saucey that's for sure. I did warn the nurses that when he was feeling better they would be hoping for the sick Mikey to come back. They:understand that warning now LOL. Was getting around pretty well the only thing holding him back is his O2 tube not being long enough for him to make it off the floor and down the elevator to the car. Him and Scott were trying to plan his escape route.

I am sure real soon he will be on to express his thanks to you all!!!!

[R1chie]

Hi Chrissy, I don't know what happened, if Mike was injured of if this was a continuing problem from his moab trip but my thoughts and prayers go out to Mike. If you need anything let me know. I have not been on the board that much and been out of touch for a while. Sorry you both are having to go through this. Tell him to get well soon.

[GregsGSXR]

Get well soon Bash! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

[636chick]

Hey Rich this is actually a continuation of the Moab Dislocation incident, 3 years ago. The plates and screws to piece back together the socket and pelvis are actually doing awesome. The problem is/was the trauma that the ball of his hip suffered eventually that led to the onset of Arthritis and the cartilage basically disintegrating so it ended up bone on bone, resulting in a total hip replacement. Mikey has been in considerable pain from that for 6 months or so but a surgery of this nature was out of the question during riding season (of course). We always knew this was coming but thought he could get a few more years till this was nec. but with Mikey's lifestyle it accelerated a bit.

Mr B is home now and darned happy about that. Still got some pretty good pain going on but doing real good the Dr say's he is back on sched. with the healing process.

[Mental]

The Bash looks a far sight better than I would after enduring that surgery. I imagine a great deal of it had to do with him being back home.

[Clovis]

Wow, I haven't really been on the boards very much lately and I totally missed this thread. Is there an original thread with what happened? Accident or is it just Mikey's old age catching up with him?

The Bashes are two of my favorite and unpredicable people whom I've had the real pleasure of meeting with and riding along with. Shannon and I truly with you both a speedy and full recovery and if there is anything I can do to help (pick up groceries, run errands, ect) I'll try my best to work those in.

Kind of sucks, I'm going back to work today... I have to wake up at 6am, but my dog decided I had to wake up at 1am to let him out instead. After 2+ months off and just collecting benifits, it's back to the real thing, ugh and I'm not exactly looking forward to it =/

But if I can help in anyway, please call, my number is below.

[billsmith7]

Glad to hear the Bashman is doing well...hollar if you guys need anything!

Glad to hear he is doing well. Hopefully no more hospitals for a while. Glad to hear he started clotting up and preventing th internal bleeding.

[zetaetatheta]

Glad everything is okay. If you need anything just shout. Chrissy, look at the bright side, at least Mike didn't have it done in Trinidad, they may have taken more "bone" than they did.

[Bashed]

Hey people, the Bash is back amongst the social outcasts.
I know some would have prefered a more lengthty downturn but
me being me it was not to be so.I think I pissed the doc off when by blood
count was down in the 5,s and I woundn't die. Suckas!
They really did not have a clue whom they were dealing with.
So I'm back, gonna be slow for a month or so but the end results wil be my reward. Thanks for everybodies well wishes.
Peace Bash

[TFOGGuys]

Congrats on the successful repair! And here's to a quick and complete recovery!

I kept waiting to hear that they transferred you to the psych ward.

Heal quickly, do all your PT, and don't forget to tell them you're still in pain even after it stops hurting.
Then you can stockpile some good meds for the next time Krissy gets rough with you.

[dallas]

So I'm back, gonna be slow for a month or so

When were you ever fast?
