I found this post way down below in all the recent news and reports. I wanted to repost it here at the top because SO many people and fans missed the news. They wanted to know what happened, why am I not at Pomona and what am I doing now. I had surgery the Wednesday after Vegas and am at home recuperating and following doctors orders, most of the time, :) Here it is from 2 weeks ago: So I realized that I never said how I hurt my leg. I was helping to unload the rig this morning and I made a very stupid mistake. I rolled our heavy starter cart off of the trailer door which has a ramp. I made the mistake of walking in front of it instead of behind it. When it picked up speed on the ramp it ran into my left ankle. Cutting it severely in two places. One cut got the Achilles and the other on the lateral side of my ankle. We hoped that it was only a bad cut so the doc stitched me up and numbed it and I ran first round. The pain was pretty bad so I got another set of injections and ran second round. The bike was driving to the right and I had to stand on my left peg to correct. The pain was too much for me so I shut off the throttle to be safe. The doctor then sent me to the trauma center at UMC where they took X-rays and did a further assessment. That doctor said that he believes I have a full tear of the lateral ligament which will require surgery. I will stay to watch my team race then head home to see an orthopedic for an MRI and find out about surgery. Im still hoping that its not fully torn and will heal on its own. Either way,.. Looks like Im done for the year. I am very disappointed but still feeling extremely blessed that it wasnt worse. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and thank you to the medical team that took care of me today. They were wonderful!!!
