Hi all. Just a quick update. I am still progressing well with my healing. I got back from the Mayo Clinic yesterday. They removed the large plastic brace on my upper teeth. Now I have a smaller removable retainer. I am at 100% weight-bearing on my left leg. The ankle still swells and it's very stiff even though I stretch 2 or 3 times per day. I am still seeing a therapist for the leg twice a week. I fly back to Hungary on June 7, then back to work on June 10.

Eating is still a challenge. My teeth are all messed up and it's hard to chew. In August I will return to the Mayo Clinic for tooth implants and cosmetic surgery. Then I'll be in good shape!

Through this whole experience, I've had little to no pain. No meds, either. It's a miracle, really. Thanks for your prayers.

I took a ride with my dad last week. He rode his Gold Wing, and I rode his Honda VTX 1300, which scored a ZERO for performance and handling. But hey, it's two wheels! This was my first ride since last November.

Note the cane strapped to the back:





Here's the new X-ray. The small triangles around the top teeth were holding the large brace in, which is now gone. You can also see the 3 bases they installed for the tooth implants later.

That's pretty awesome, Mark!

Glad to see that they've been able to get you fixed up.

That's what dads are for.
Good for you for getting back on two wheels.
Must have felt really good!

Excellent news!  Thanks for keeping us updated.

You're in good hands, and you'll be back to your old self in no time.

Great news Mark.  Forward progress is encouraging and the bike ride had to be good for the soul!  Keep getting well.

I go in for a checkup at the Mayo Clinic on Wednesday, then fly back home to Hungary on Friday. Everything is still going well. I can stand and walk on the left leg unassisted now.

A picture is worth a thousand words:
