Little curious about that myself.

Thank you for noticing my typing AZryder. It does take me a really long time to type, but I am not completely disabled. I still have my right arm in great condition. I type with one hand and do it just fine, just takes longer. But after a lot of practice, I have gotten pretty good at it. Funny thing you say about my writing format. I always thought I wan't so great at English and Grammar so I take that as a great compliment, thank you.

I have a guy interested in my bike, so keep your fingers crossed for me. I will know by Friday if he is going to buy it. I hope I am able to sell it soon as my surgery has been scheduled for June 6th down in Austin, Tx. That is where my hand surgeon, Manish V. Patel is. I used to live there and he did my last surgery on my hand several years ago. I had great results from it. I did alot more damage to it this time, so we will see how it all comes out.

I have alot of friends in Austin so I will be staying in Austin for a week or two until I can travel in a car to come home here in Dallas. I greatly appreciate all your support and kind words. Thanks guys, it is much appreciated.

I support where Clint stands on this and his concerns. Just shows me he is on top of things around here and thats good.

AJ, I hope you find what you need and some help and comfort. There are many things in life that you can still do and accomplish. Riding a motorcycle being one of them. A girl I know personally lost her leg at the hip last year from a motorcycle injury and yet she still rides a modified bike today. You have a limitation but it should not control or dictate to you what you do in this life. Prayers are with you.

I've had to stop a few times because of back problems, and yeah it was a bummer. Just keep in mind there are a lot of things to do in this world. Thank God you weren't hurt worse. I was an athlete and I can't jog, play tennis do any jumping. That was hard for me. I'm limited on the motorcycle too. Keep the good riding times in your mind and keep trucking on my friend!!!!!

Have you considered dispatching AJ?

While going through "cop school" I worked as a 911 Emergency Dispatcher for the local Sheriffs Office. I took the job to have a job and as a foot in the door to the place. Didn't think I care for it to much. Turned out, I loved my job! It was awesome.

As you know, dispatch is ESSENTIAL to the Deputies and Officers on the street. Dispatch is just as much back up for them as the officer down the street who's responding. You're the one who is letting others know he needs help and what's going on. It's hard to explain, but you should know how essential dispatch is. It's also essential for the public. You're the buffer between them and the cops. And from looking at your posts here, your arm definately doesn't prevent you from using the computer.

Long story short, look into dispatching. You might be pleasantly surprised.

My dad always told me, "If you want to see God laugh, just tell him your plans".
