Where has your bike taken you today?

[RocknRolla]

To the E.R. .

Not sure if i should upload pics.

Front tire washed out..i was probably going a bit fast, terminal off camber turn understeer....decided to bail off the side of the hill and hopefully spare the bike...which i might ad is brand new, and not mine. Then a battle commenced between my face, shoulder and leg....and the earth, and the earth won. Cut my lip open against god knows what, nose to mouth. Luckily not all the way through. Plastic surgeon stitched had to fix that. Posterior dislocation of right shoulder - never knew these ones hurt this much. They put you under to pop it back in. And then generally i look like i had a trip through mincer haha.

 

All in all...was a blast, #no regrets, 100% will do it again. And i can get a new helmet now

 

Sorry to hear about this, I have been in a similar situation, with added concussion fractured wrist and sand roasties. The standing joke about the plastic surgeon is, he did a shitty job, because I look exactly as I did before the crash.

Heal up quickly[emoji106]

 

Pics or it didn’t happen [emoji6][emoji4]

Face looks (edit: arguably? Lol) alot better today, but feels worse. Guess its the swelling. Still drinking my coffee through a straw and eating my food using a teaspoon haha

Seeing the orthopedic surgeon this afternoon re shoulder and axillary nerve. Hopefully not too bad.

I'm not going to like Morne's post. It looks decidedly eina.

 

I still, 3 years later have not regained feeling in a section of my lower lip. 

 

Take it easy, especially the ortho rehab stuff. Zwift helps a lot. (for the mind, and keeping the legs strong)

Ugh, I hate it. Ha ha ha. 

 

I've wanted it for a while now, but ordering it locally ends up being so expensive that it's just not worth it. 

 

Something crazy like R70k delivered.

(you haven't mentioned so I'm going to assume ...)

 

You're lucky you didn't bust out a tooth or 4

You can say thank you no broken ribs, especially if the muscles around them decide its time to cramp, worst pain I ever experienced.

Eina bliksem. Heal up soon.

 

That lip cut should be almost non existent once it heals up, given that you had a plastic surgeon put it back together.

 

Many years ago my dad has a beer keg explode next to him, some shrapnel did a similar thing to his lip (but also took out several teeth), he also had a plastic surgeon put it all back together int he ER. No scars visible.

You know its bad when the Doc calls his apprentice entourage to come look at the sonar of the k@k you got up to????

 

He says the way it popped out only happens in about 2% of cases. They almost never see it. The shoulder was popped out the back with so much axial force that the ‘collar bone’ and ball of the shoulder basically sawed a v-shaped channel into each other. He now wants me to go get an MRI so he can see where that bone ended up and what happened to the ligaments so he can advise on s way forward. FML

 

Edit: the good news is I don't have to wear a sling anymore because apparently it wont make any difference haha
