Oh man that hurts. Best of luck with the surgery and hope you get well soon.
Steve,
Been there, done that, you'll be fine. However, you'll never make it through a TSA metal detector, again, without your papers being in order. That reminds me of an old Cheech 'n' Chong routine, best saved for another day when you're in a better humor...
Prayers ascend,
Sam and his faithful sidekick Tank
C'mon, Steve, how can ya resist a dog picture? Lighten up!

Well at least Mr.Muffin didn't post," I've fallen and I can't get up!" [it could have been worse if someone filmed it and posted it on facebook!]
Good luck Mr. Muffin and God bless you with a speedy recovery and full healment of your injuries.
Best wishes, Steve!
Get well soon!

Be well soon Steve!!
Thank you, one and all, for this. I was surprised to see it here and touched. Jeff and I were on a Harley trip for a few days, and I dropped my Harley pulling onto the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC. My left foot got trapped under the bike as I went down. Everyone was terrific attending to me and my injury, and MrsMuffin flew down there with one of our trucks and trailer and she and Jeff hauled us home. Really glad that Jeff and I are insistent on wearing our helmets. It’ll take awhile, but I should recover just fine. Thank you so much.
Great to have you back.
Alan Nelson
Wishing you a quick recovery.
Prayers for your speedy and full recovery, Mr. Muffin.
How's the bike?
Those crotch cars have a way of getting you sometimes. Hopefully you didn't rearranging the chrome to much.
Gods speed with the mending.
Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!

Best wishes, Steve! Hope you are back on your feet real soon!

Steve, I'm getting over knee surgery from two weeks ago. Listen to your doctors and we will have you looking at green aspects again in no time.

Steve,
Prayers for a complication free surgery and quick recovery.
Good luck, Steve!
All the best on your recovery. In the 70s I dropped two bikes, in two months. Got the message and have kept 4 wheels under me ever since.
So grateful that you always wear your helmet.
Steve,
Good luck with your surgery and hopes for a speedy recovery.

We're wishing you a speedy recovery Mr. Muffin!
My wife and I were riding up to Michigan thru Indiana a few years ago on our BMWs when I had a mishap. In northern Indiana a construction company spread a large area of sand several inches deep on a street. As I turned left into the street not seeing that that was smoothed over loose sand, the rear wheel went out at about 3 mph and my left foot got swept off the peg with the sort of deep sand. The rear bag was wide enough to trap my foot. Both bones broken at the ankle, but I was in the hospital in Michigan City in about an hour or two having surgery. Home to Illinois the next day. I had the typical BMW "all the gear on all the time" so no other issues. Walking in about 6 weeks.

Six weeks would be good. Thanks.
I saw this thread the other day and I tried to post but could not get it through. Stephen, I am so happy to hear that you will make a full recovery. I hope it will be a speedy and painless recovery. I hope you had a great Father's Day yesterday given the circumstances.
Best of luck and a speedy recovery!
Just think
Could always be worse'... Next time you may not be so lucky. Your lord works in mysterious ways'... A shame, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy'...

Glad to hear things went well.
Great news Steve! I'll pray for pain management and full recovery!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Bout 13 years ago I broke my ankle and lower leg. Do exactly what your physical therapist tells ya and hopefully you’ll heal up just fine! I can honestly say mine is 100%. Oh, also to show my support, I ordered some atlas o passenger coaches today!
Hang in there Steve. I know you will get well.

Get well soon Steve!
Wishing you all the best for a speedy and healthy recovery.
Great to hear Steve. Pain management and no weight on leg are not an easy thing. Just remember to take it easy and don't rush things along. Before you know it, you'll be back on your feet.
Do what those in charge say, or at least attempt to do as they say. Been 12 years since hip replacement, a few hrs. after surgery they had me vertical. Legs, blood clots can be a big problem. Even when I went home a few days after surgery, there was an anti-coagulant, (Lovenox) I had to self-inject. Best wishes Mike CT
Great news, Steve......get well soon!
