[QUOTE="MikeT, post: 581434, member: 21398"] You go and ride minicharge. That's what motocross/motorcycling is all about, enjoying riding. As for fusing anything, try stiffining up your ankle and then try "walking" a little. Then pretend that you cannot go back and undo what has been done. Your foot will never bend again, you will never walk correctly, you can never heal and get better from this situation........ I just think fusing any joint is pure butchery. Other than my foot, when I was about twenty, I had a guy on a quad crash into me:silly: and it ended up tearing one of the ligaments that held my thumb on. I was actually able to bend my thumb around and have it point back at my chest while all my other fingers pointed away from me..... Pretty scary. Anyway, the Doc said, "we can operate and fuse your thumb so it doesn't move like that anymore" :silly: I said, "Are you nuts! What will I have then??? A CLAW? :silly: That is totally unacceptable, you need to figure something else out". He then said that they could use a tendon and replace the ligament with it and tie it in.. Anyway it worked, and worked well. Now THIRTEEN years later, it is still perfect. My point is, Make the Doctors THINK a little and do something other than permenantly deform you. Hang in there and you will heal. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
