Sidewall damage on any tire is never good. It's definitely a no go on a steer tire, let alone a heavy haul open shoulder style like yours.

I had a set of those for about 2 years before they wouldn't hold a charge well. My issue was that while in the truck, they were OK. Outside, I had issues because they don't block out background noise and I could barely hear through them. Some of that issue is tinitis I'd imagine but I've talked to other people who had a similar issue.

I guess it would help to attach the photo. Long day.

It's not a funny picture but I was able to get out and about on the bike today for a couple hours between remodeling projects. I had to stop at the truck to check on something and figured I'd snap a pick. Have fun and be safe everyone.

First off, good luck and a speedy recovery after the surgery. Luckily, I drive a pickup truck when not in the Volvo but man is it weird to jump on the bike to get some wind therapy.

Gotcha. I had to go to a couple different Ortho surgeons to get one who would fill out the paperwork myself. My doctor was a plastic surgeon who is a hand specialist and according to the guidelines, didn't qualify which was outrageous but oh well. Out of curiosity, have you downloaded the application packet? It has the doctor section that they fill out. I had to find one who would look at the packet and then schedule an exam along with all the medical records associated with my injury. Lucky for me, I got released from the program after 4 years.

Totally agree but those investors have recovered the investment and made money. The next step is to bail while there's still some value and on to the next thing. Just a few weeks ago, the tallest building in Ft Worth sold for 12mil. It cost 112mil to build. Those with money are trying to move to things to secure the wealth they have and ride the wave to see the aftermath. I've never invested in the stock market personally. I don't mind risk but I never gamble and prefer to secure what I have with precious metals and tangible items. Regardless of what happens, I'll still have my house, my vehicles, the lights will stay on and my family can eat. To me, those are the most important things.

It just tells me that the economy is garbage and everyone needs to hold on for a wild ride. Commercial and residential real estate are tanking, the true inflation numbers aren't being reported and the majority of people are struggling to just get by. Politicians have absolutely wrecked the value of the dollar and the rest of the world has taken notice. Every empire throughout history has fallen due to ego and greed, we're watching it happen again.

My apologies, I missed your original post. Is your nerve damage something that happened organically, or is it due to an accident or incident which you received medical treatment for?
