I got t-boned this afternoon, bumper ran my left leg into my engine and broke both bonez. Tibial Plateau Fracture and broken fibia (sp?) Top of platform on my left shinbone is about 1/3 cracked off and moved down.
Never had a broken bone before - will have to have surgery some time next week, to screw the blanker back together - never been cut into before either. I wish they would have done it last nite and got it over with - hate anticipating a scalpel.
Came around a corner you couldn't see around 1 block from my house about 10 mph (circular loop st I live on) turned my head to wave at neighbor and as I turned back just a fash of red and LOUD noise. Smacked right into my engine guard and glance off it to my leg. Bike highsided - I think I jumped off it cuz I was standing at first then I told the people I wuz gonna lay down in the road cuz it hurt and I wanted to see if it got better in a few, but they wouldn't listen to me and called an ambulance (nuther first - ambulance ride). Ambulance driver asked if that was my wallet in my pocket and I told him no it was his - I'd picked his pocket.
Pipes scratched (but it maybe was time for new ones anyway - loud gets tiring) - one of my custom painted Xtreme revolution flamed turn signals and munched engine guard (case for engine guards - would have been way worse without it I'm sure. Seeing how munched it is today I realize it probably absorbed 80% of the impace, thank goodness. Bike didn't get much damage at all considering how dang loud the impact noise was. Crap I hate that noise.
Being in recovery - I know about the dangers but I must admit I got my head on my chest yesterday on 2 oxycodones which are about to wear off and it's throbbing again - not too bad when I sit still but if they move it I scream like a little gurl. Update (wrote last nite) I had one hellofatime getting off the couch last nite - my couch is too low to stand up on one leg and the wife was in bed at 3AM. As well as getting up in the night to drain was enough to make me want to borrow some of my little boy's diapers.
This sure forks up my summer plans - no riding and couple months with no weight on that leg, swimming will be out, and crapperz I only have so many summers left.
But still, no real coulda woulda shoulda regrets - my life is still very very very awesome and it's just a bump in the road, change in da planz...
Nothin but a thang........
rock on
Thanks for listening to me. :iwuvyou: This will be me for a bit now :sofa:
