[@timothypirnat3754]

Joe, I'm a retired M.D. specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. We are the specialists for aftercare in multiple trauma and traumatic brain injury. I would strongly recommend you get referred to a PM&R doc (if you don't have one already) who will maximize and accelerate your recovery. If your left hand is swelling, I would consider an elastic compression glove or maybe an isotoner glove if you can find one that fits snug enough. The therapists( PT, OT, and speech therapy) can give you home exercises and brain exercises to accelerate your recovery. Prayers for a full recovery brother.

I'm back to my normal self and been lifting weights for over a year now. Hang in there it will get better.

Glad you made it through that man. I know people who ride. One of them told me that there are 2 types of people that ride, those that crash and those who haven't crashed yet. She always wore full gear because she absolutely knew one day her ticket would be up. It happened 1 year later. A truck nailed her at 15-20 mph. Getting ready to turn amd he was looking one way and not the other and pulled right out on top of her. She lived but crushed her leg and knee, broke her elbow, cracked her carbon fiber amd kevlar helmet but that saved her life. She a,so fractured 3 ribs and punctured a lung that they didn't find out for 10 hours!

Joe, I dumped my motorbike on the Dalton Hwy two years ago. Broken collarbone, ribs, airlift out of the bush, whole nine. I know a bit of what you’re going through. My bland advice is to do your PT like it’s your job. It made all the difference for me. I found your channel a few years ago when I was living in Hong Kong and needed a wilderness fix. This is back when you were in Windsor (I grew up in across the river in MI) and all the trees and birdsong were familiar to me and felt good. A little slice of the woods I grew up stomping around in, eh? And I stayed because you’re good at what you do. I’ll be here when you’re back and good to go. No worries. Get well soon, do your PT, hug your loved ones, and we’ll see you out there again.

Hey Joe, Ontario Physiotherapist here who works with traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. Glad to see you're doing well and although you're probably getting more unsolicited advice then you want .... here's some more lol; be patient and look for the little signs that you may still need some input/rehab whether that is Physio or maybe speech and language pathology etc., hopefully you're a lucky one and avoided it all but sometimes there are subtle things like emotions, memory, word finding, motivation, planning, etc., so although you feel 100% cognitively just keep an eye out especially if those closest to you pick up on it. Many of these issues are hard if not impossible sometimes for the individual to feel which can be a part of brain injury. I don't know anyone personally out that way that works in this area but maybe through connections etc. feel free to reach out if you want me to put a word out among colleagues for people that are in that area.

He admitted he blazes every day but never once mentioned that drugs/alcohol had nothing to do with this accident - probably for legal reasons. That fact alone (and the fact that he also does not mention he was or was not wearing a helmet) makes me certain he went riding without proper protection and being under the influence. Bad choices lead to accidents like this. Sad moment but on the plus side no one else was involved/hurt because of his stupidity.

Some of my motorcycle wreck patients have been in therapy (with progress) for over a year. Unfortunately lots of guys wipe out on bikes in congested LA traffic. Follow up with your doctors regarding nerve conduction studies (to assess the damage) and possible surgical options such as nerve grafts that can help. Some options may be time sensitive. BTW. Every coordination and motor control exercise you do with your right hand at this point must be done with intent and laser focus. Good reps mean progress. You have no doubt had some challenges with loss over the years and I pray for your emotional as well as physical health. Best of luck Joe. We are thankful you’re still here.

Joe. Don't focus on the bad. Learn from your mistake, and move forward. You're talking about "taking for granted", but you're missing the fact that you're still here, you can walk, and you're not a veg. Your hand will heal. Allow the time. Focus on your family, and when you have extra time, we all would like to hear how you're doing while you heal. Keep us posted, and heal up! You'll be back out there one way or another. As a viewer, I love your videos. I'll still be here watching.

I discovered your channel while I was recovering from a heart attack. I get it when you apologize to your family “for putting them through this”.

You're a wonderful person and you and your family deserve all the best. Bumps in the road happen, this one is just bigger than most.You got this!!

I never understood why Joe doesn't have a Patreon. It's not welfare it's literally just us paying $2, $5, $10, etc. each month, VOLUNTARILY to support our favorite creators, making content for us. And most KZbinrs have one, it's commonplace. So many ways to get creative with tiers and exclusive content.

@@rhys-stubbs do you have a KZbin channel and know how their revenue stream works? I've seen creators break down their income month by month and how they make money. Subs actually don't make a huge difference. You could be subscribed, but if you don't actually watch his videos, it doesn't help. KZbin rewards numbers actually watching the videos, video engagement, and watching the entire video. Even people with 5 million subscribers were seeing a loss in revenue lately. Creators make more money from Patreon and sponsorships, which Joe won't do.

Greetings from Northeast Ohio. I’m a 75-year-old woman and I have been watching you for six years. I’m so sorry you and your family are going through this. I fell and broke my humerus bone in my arm last summer. My only broken bone so far. I understand how you hate putting people out to help you. For me it was just for a short time. My accident happened in a second. Just like yours. Physical therapy is a wonderful thing. Keep at it. it is hard to lose anything that we are used to having. . Such as eyesight, our legs, and, of course our arm and hands. Maybe this accident happened because somewhere in your future, there was going to be another one that would take your life. Like the 40 day event that you had coming up this summer. Everything happens for a reason.

You’re very lucky! You are the second person I follow that had a major health problem this last week. Mike Quady from “Crazy Quady” suffered a heart attack at 40 and is in major rehab. It’s pretty shocking when these things happen to people you don’t actually know but have followed for several years. You do feel like they are part of your You Tube family so to speak. I hope you both make full recoveries and return to even a better life! I’m turning 78 next week and just returned from a trip on the Oregon coast. I’ve dialed back my style of camping to a little 16’ Airstream and a Tundra but it still allows me to get into the woods and the oceans edge. There comes a time when you need to dial it back. Stay safe!

[@aarondavies6823]

Worst part is you can't notice it. You can't compare the functioning of your own brain after vs. before the injury. The fact that he keeps saying "my brain is fine" (5 or 6 times maybe?) tells me he'll be too stubborn to deal with it if and when his family notices it.

[@MitchellWade-s8o]

Keep working with the injured hand. It will improve. Your fans would never bet against you. Get better, soldier!

He was bleeding from his ears nose and mouth. Broken pelvis, five ribs, jaw, arm, skull, cand he didn’t wake up for almost a month. They told us the same stuff. Prepare for the worst. He won’t be the same. Ect. He was a tad different, but not really. Just seemed like more of a jerk than he used to be. Haha. To this day he still can’t feel half of his face or taste anything on the right side of his tongue. He’s very successful as a medical software programmer.

Been there with you brother, I had an motorcycle accident in December of 2014 on my way home from work, spent 2 months in hospital, went through a 3 week coma myself and when I woke up, I no longer had a right leg, chopped off above the knee, I had no other mark or injuries other than the leg, yet I nearly died from multiple organ failure. When I was in that coma I had the wackiest visions/dreams ever lol... I was told I was close to death on a couple of occasions, kind of a miracle I'm still here. Keep positive!!
