I wasn't sure where to put this, but I wanted to give all my wonderful Team-mates a HU:
I fell today and broke my kneecap (the patella) clean in two. Hurts like an ***, won't bear any weight. I don't know, but I have a sick feeling I'll have to go in for surgery, either replace the entire patellar bone, or repair it. This also means the wonderful joy of rehab. Needless to say, if I'm n rehab, or something, no flights for me.
Really bums me out, as I wanted to get in at least ONE flight during the last Race, but don't count on me. I have the sick feeling they're going to carve me like a Thanksgiving turkey, but am hoping not. The ER just sent me home without admitting me after the DR assigned when I went in consulted the Ortho Surgeon, so maybe....
Here's hoping, anyway. I've been cut on enough for several lifetimes!
Anywho. I'll try to keep up on the forum here, and if it's at possible, get in on a flight or two, even if it's just as "another" pilot. Not a wingman, just an addon. I'm currently parked firmly in my easy chair, that I fly from, so maybe.
I just wanted to let y'all know not to rely on my being available for a while. At least till I learn to walk, again...
