Back to square 1 after my accident recently

[Demondosage]

Well, I sit here in the ICU on my 8th day here. I wrecked my dirt bike and suffered 6 fractured ribs, collapsed lung, liver laceration, kidney trauma, fractured scapula and other bumps and bruises. Worst pain of my life. I’ll be down and out for awhile, I had 7 titanium brackets put on my ribs to help fix them. Back to the basics, like I think I’ll start with walking and stretching , lol. Fml

 

[theotherguy]

Well shit, glad to hear you survived! Wishing you a full recovery

 

[adamcarpenter]

You should ask them if they can install some retractable claws like Wolverine. That would make it all worth it.

Seriously though glad your ok hope you feel better soon.

 

[Gbro]

Need a kiss?

 

[Canknucklehead]

Good luck with recovery bro

This is terrible news. I wish you the best on a quick and full recovery.

The risks involved with cycling have always been understated and underdiscussed.

The participation in the sport of cycling is far more dangerous than non-medical steroid use by many measures.

Stay strong and keep looking forward.

Were / are they able to suction your lung back in place or will it be required for them to cut you open? If that's the case... gl you'll need it. Broken ribs in combination with fractured scapula is going to be a major pain as well for the coming months (maybe year+ depending on treatment options available). Hopefully the liver laceration is mild (I guess so otherwise you wouldn't be typing this thread).

I wish you a speedy recovery, shit sucks.

 

[Btcowboy]

Damn, wish you a speedy recovery

 

[MindlessWork]

Wow, that's rough and wishing you a speedy recovery!

 

[Logan44551]

Damn, kick this recovery's ass! You got this.

 

[MadBret]

Sorry to hear this, bud. Stay strong and get well soon.

 

[MrGTO]

Bad news man! Hope your recovery goes well!

 

[malfeasance]

Still ICU or have they moved you out to a regular hospital area?

 

[grey]

Fuck! Just saw this.

Hope you are out of the ICU at this point.

I rode a motorcycle for years when I was younger, doing wheelies with someone on the back for a mile, hill climbing. Can I say I was lucky I never broke anything! And only injured one passenger

Now I would not drive one for a mile, too many things can jump out and hit you, cars, deer.....

 

[Type-IIx]

I am really sorry to hear this bro. Heal up quick!

Nah, I’m on a different floor now. Today marks 2 wks that I’ve been here, what’s kept me here was the collapsed lung refusing to drain old blood. But they began using this clot buster medication in my chest tube and low and behold about 3,000ml of old blood has come out. Now I can breathe off the oxygen and I should be released in a day or two.

I won’t get back on the dirt bike after this, but the difficult part is my son looking at it like dad taking something from him that he loves. He associates riding with traveling together, camping, etc. But I have to stick around and stay in one piece for my family. And I don’t wanna see him ever go through this or worse, and what he doesn’t understand is that at the level he rides it’s a strong possibility. It just sucks, but I have to do the best thing for everyone rt now. There is no getting back on the bike and half assing it, I know myself, I would go rt back to riding as hard as I could

Be happy as hell.

I know a 25 year old girl paralyzed from the neck down from an auto accident.

I know a lady paralyzed from the waist down, who fell after giving blood and fell.

Be happy.... real happy! Could have been worse!

Oh for sure dude! Funny thing was, I thought I broke my neck when it happened due to the small scapula fracture and pain at base of it where it comes into my back.

I have never wrecked that hard in my life before, fortunately I had a buddy rt behind me on the track and he drove me to the hospital after I walked off the track. How I walked off that track is due to a higher power beyond me, I’ll tell you that much. I’ve been laying in the hospital bed looking at center console boats on marketplace. I’m going to have to replace the hobby with something rt? Hello lakes and ocean bay areas, hello fish!!!
