I'm getting bolted up next Wednesday which gives me a week of not-healing. Kind of a free do-over period since he's got to cut the ends, the cartilage, and re-position things anyway and I don't need to be as limited about keeping the bones steady and not pulling or jarring them. Within some limits of course, I don't need those ends moving around and cutting things. Since I'm taking vacation time anyway I'm tempted to get a good bit of riding in before then, which seems weird being still broken but logically why not?
