3 weeks after my high speed Eastern creak crash I finally have had the operation that should see me take part on the Mallala grid. With no healing being shown after 2 weeks I have had a screw put in my Scafoid to assist the bone to heal, with a clean break and a 2mm gap the options were 6 weeks in plaster [missing Mallala] or screw the bone back together and hope my strength is enough to gain some points at Rd 2 Mallala. My left arm is all ready loosing mussel and it's killing me to not be able to train. But the doctors have said they will cut the plaster off for Mallala so I am looking forward to getting back on my Mick Hone/Hern Engineering Suzuki for Rd2 and trying to get some points before my home race at Winton Rd3.
The team will be at Phillip Island this weekend But I will be swapping roles with Gen, as she will be taking part on the 400 grid at the first Rd of the Victorian interclub series.
in the photo my Scafoid is being drilled before the screw is fitted.
