Ok everybody. I was trying not to complain. I love this thread and all the funny up people and stuff.

But I had a bicycle accident. It was likely caused by a poorly tightened or defective rear wheel quick release. Last to work on it was a local bike shop owner doing warranty work on the new bike.

I was riding right out front of the house we were teaching my brother in laws little boy to ride without training wheels.

I fell hard. I broke my scapula. Bad. It folded over itself and split. It took 3 bands to put it all back together.

This shit is very painful and 1 arm pain gardening is hard.

Rant over. ;-)

Here is an image of the broken overlapped scapula.

I am terrified about physical therapy in a few more weeks. My arm barely moves right now. 3 days after the surgery.

At 1st, that looked like a weird plucked chicken. But, best of luck to you.

Details?
front or rear?
Did the skewer break or slip? or was it one or the newer 10, 12 or 14 mm through axle clamp styles?

It slipped. I had a new rotor put on as the original ones were squeaky and it’s a new 2018.

Rear wheel went in and took the center of gravity with it.

And it is the in between size quick release boost axle found on many new plus tire hardtails.

I can’t remember if it’s 12 x 148?

actually it might be, here is a home remedy, now i haven't tried it, but it's worth a look see.....

Mix up a home remedy to get rid of the spider mites. Combine 1 gallon of water with 2 tbs. of dish detergent and 1 tbs. of vegetable oil. Mix well or put the ingredients in a gallon jug and shake it up. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle, then add 1 tsp. of rubbing alcohol.

might try it in my veg garden....

Those 3D images just amaze me. My son wrote some of those algorithms in use today and has his name on a few patents. Pretty soon they will be so good you won't need a surgeon, robotic surgery will do a cleaner, quicker and more precise job.

Those are typical reconstruction plates. Here ya go. The skill comes in bending those (freehand)!


PT shouldn't be to horrid. Don't think about it now. The important thing is not to rush or push yourself to hard. Slow and steady wins this race and now you'll be able to predict any oncoming storms, hurrah :finger::hug:

Thanks for the positive and informative thoughts. :-)

The surgeon said that I did not mess up the rotator cuff and that is what would cause definite lack of movement later.

I am hopeful and determined to keep riding, paddling, living so this is just a setback. A really long painful setback but still.

wow, thanks Roger.......

now how to get to those eggs naturally....
Click to expand...
repetition, spray that stuff about 5 times 3 days apart, just like you would neem or spinosad. neither of them kills the eggs either. you have to wait for them to hatch out, and try to catch them before they can lay more eggs. so spraying at least three times, three days apart is the minimum, i usually spray 5 times just to make sure i catch them all.

ah ok....also found this:

Spider Mite Varieties
There are several kinds of spider mites, many of which belong to the Tetranychus genus and are known by alternative names. Red spider mites, for instance, are simply called red spiders or clover mites. Other names for common spider mites that target plants include twospotted spider mite, strawberry spider mite and Pacific spider mite.

Herbs
Chinese parsley (Coriandrum sativum) is an annual culinary herb, and a companion to dill, anise, carraway and potatoes, that repels spider mites. A deterrent spray can also be made from an infusion, or strong tea, of the leaves. Most people know this plant as cilantro, a name that specifically refers to the leaf. The seed, however, is known as the spice coriander. Another annual herb said to repel spider mites is dill, which is considered an excellent companion plant to cabbage and lettuce. Certain herbs in the allium family -- garlic (Allium sativum) and chives (Allium schoenoprasum) -- reputedly benefit a variety of plants and vegetables and specifically protect tomatoes from red spiders. Garlic and chives are perennials in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 8 and USDA zones 3 through 10, respectively.


Flowers
Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum) is a generic term for a variety of perennial flowers collectively referred to as mums, most of which are hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9. As the source of the natural insecticide pyrethrum, mums are good companions for a variety of other plants, because they deter several common pests, including spider mites. Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum), a perennial ground cover and border plant suitable for USDA zones 4 through 10, attracts beneficial species that feed on spider mites, such as pirate bugs and predatory mites.

Vegetables
As botanical cousins to garlic and chives, onion (Allium cepa) and leek (Allium ampeloprasum porrum) also benefit a variety of other vegetables and ornamental plants while deterring red spider mites. Leek is hardy in USDA zones 7 and warmer, while onion, depending on the species and cultivar, is grown as an ornamental and a vegetable in USDA zones 3 through 9. Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum), suitable for USDA zones 3 through 8, deters red spider mites and is beneficial to broccoli, cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables.
