Prayers up for me and my wife Heather.

Riding home alone from work yesterday. Dry roads. 45-50 mph. On motorcycle I had to swerve to try to avoid tboning a minivan that pulled out in front of me to turn across traffic. I was in right lane of divided 2 lane road they were coming from my right. Was wearing all motorcycle gear except for pants including full face helmet and decently tall Sidi boots. Not the sport bike or hard ones.

Broke tibia and fibula. Some road rash on right outside forearm, and knees. Surgery this afternoon sometime. Our names already in Houston and Layton temples.

[sgtsmmiii]

[The D]

Done and done. Good luck with rehab

 

[Im2bent]

Yikes, and the minivan just kept on driving ?

 

[Alphatreedog]

Prayers my Brother . Couple O thangs to consider .
Whilst in the Hospital pre and post surgery pain would spike around 7 pm . I tried to tough it out and wait til I couldn't handle it until asking for the morphine .
Did that 3 nights in a row . In retrospect should have asked to get it at 6 or 6:30 by night 3 .
Same with the oxycodone . They offered 5 or 10mg doses . 5 did nothing . So being the Rocket Surgeon I am I always said 5 . Once I said that and it didn't work it was about 4 hrs I had to wait for the next dose . Between ; give it another hr , we have to call for permission and then the time it took after approval it was next dose time .
Move your limbs , everything .
Maybe not your busted leg but whatever you can . Keep your blood flowing it will help prevent clots , pneumonia and make it easier when it's time to get up .
If you get a new nurse tell her to adjust your catheter , only works once .
Good luck . This is my 4th week recovering and so fuggin over this shit . Intubated 3 times , at some point I got 2 nasalpherangel airways . Tore the fuck out of my sinuses . Looked raspberry pudding with blueberry chunks for a few days . After 2nd surgery got a respiratory infection that's still kicking my ass . 2 x-rays no pneumonia. I was walking the Ortho unit on day2 .
Get on your short term disability immediately . Check your benefits package for accident coverage , AFLAC or similar . Start an only fans to help cover expenses . Evidently hospital gimp porn is a thing .
Good luck Bother .

How's the bike ?

 

[LeftyJason]

Think they stopped. First people I saw were white and the area is generally a good area. Happened right before the turn into my neighborhood.

 

[LeftyJason]

How's the bike ?

Don't know. 2002 Honda Magna vf750 (v4 sibling of the shadow). They had to lift it off it's right side. It was rollable to the side of the road. Could tell they didn't know about bikes. They were pushing it while still in gear.

No catheter thank goodness. Work is sending esb and fmla paperwork that needs to get filled out by doctors (generally done at discharge). Have to take 3 days of pto first and then get 70% pay or 100% pay if I use 2.5 hrs of pto a day. Haven't decided which way I will go.

Yeah . Got to see my bike layin on it's side with my$800 helmet picked on it . Funny that one can be in excruciating pain , shock and still have presence of mind to be pissed for your bike getting dragged up a flat bed .

 

[Alphatreedog]

Sorry to hear you crashed your bike on the other hand I’m glad the new helmet worked….what were you riding?

Honda Transalp 750 . Helmet in the pic is a $300 Bell not the Schubert .

Also, be as pleasant as possible to nursing staff, doctors, PT and OT. It will get you far and they'll do you small favors, and some bigger ones. One nursing assistant I had even brought me lunch from a local Mexican joint so I didn't have to keep eating hospital food.

PSA: wear your helmets. Owe my life to my HJC modular:

And still broke a bunch of shit in my face.

Need to see Xrays of your fixed forearm

[748rpilot]

Ah, @Alphatreedog you're a double-winner, I think you take this one. Displacement of distal radial and ulnar shafts, it looks like?

How is the PT/OT going for your arm? Are you having any issues with the wrist or hand?

Oh no……that’s what I want, I like the Honda over the Tenere

 

[GreenGO Juan]

Good luck to those injured.

Gear up, it can save your life.

SLAPAHO- support life and put a helmet on.

 

[LeftyJason]

Out of surgery. Went well. Staying in hospital til at least tomorrow. I think 1 rod in tibia and maybe 4 screws. Breaks were clean transverse at same height. Will try to work on xrays tomorrow.

 

[Devildog]

Just now seeing this thread. Wish you a speedy recovery, man that looks painful.

 

[jpjulian]

Dumped my bike on very slightly wet pavement at an intersection back in 1975. Slow speed left turn but nearly got run over anyways. As a State Trooper unfortunately saw my share of bike vs. guard rail. It's never pretty and the guard rail wins every single time. Glad you're alive to tell your story. Best of luck on the surgery and an uneventful recovery.

Glad to hear . Hope the rest of your journey goes smooth . Stay positive . I joke a lot with the Healthcare Staff . It keeps the mood light and happy . They tend to be more engaging and happy . Gotta think their job must be hard dealing with gloomy winers and people living in a low point in life .
Borrowed one from a guy my buddy knew .
So this guy skydives . One day he jumps and his shoot no worky .
Don't recall the particulars ; fowled , no open etc . Guy takes the ultimate hard landing . Fast forward to ER .
Nurse : Any allergies ?
Mr. Thudd. : Yes . Gravity.
Guy lived and choose to be happy and have the best day of his life everyday .
So when I was asked ;
ER Nurse : Treedoggy , any allergies ?
Treeprojectile : Yes . Guardrails . .
Also when asked , "how did this happen " ?
"My stunt double called out ."
Or
"It's a love story . Boy meets Bike . Bike meets guardrail . It was like magic , instant sparks . I knew instantly cause I had that funny feeling in my tummy , and my forearm and ankle and knee and left side of my torso ."
Funny but not meant to be was a moment of clarity whilst the ketamine was starting to kick in in the ambulance . I outta nowhere spit out " I am so fucked " . EMT answers back that "man you're ok and this could have been really bad . This will work out , you're ok " . I responded with no not that . I can't drink beer tonight . He laughed and I responded , I don't think you understand I really love the taste of beer .
