Bones, glad to hear you were intact, even if the broken parts will take time to heal. Sounds like you did your best with what you had to work with.
One question I have: what gear were you wearing? (Jacket/pants, back protecter if any). I've heard a few folks sing the praises of products like motoport, and a few getoffs that resulted in lots of bruises but no broken parts, and I wondered if the pricier gear would have lessened the injuries.
I was wearing the tourmaster line, Air Intake 2 jacket and flex pants, solution boots and winter golves, a shoei rf-1000 helmet.
I was released on June 17th to heal at home, 2-3 month estimate, but no one really knows.
I'm healing slow but fast, more energy, can lay on my side to sleep now for 4 hrs at a time, sitting in a chair makes your ass go numb after one hour and wakes you up! It's amazing I was released only one week ago, however I still have to go along way to get back to near normal.
In the ICU they were amazed I was alive, most of their motorbike victims are Harley riders and are poorly dressed for success. Most are missing bodyparts or faces they said. When I "graduated" from the ICU to the trauma floor the guy in the next room had done 3 weeks at the hospital, his wife had about 4 more to go from their motorbike accident.
Thank you for all your encouragement. Faceless Avatars have a way of cheering me up!
As for the drugs, I initially resisted taking anything once I got home, I was opposed to the narcotic nature of it, however, after struggling with the constant stiffness and pain, I fully endorse Oxycodone stacked with tylenol.
And hey!!! Wear your gear, don't let yourself slack off... :lazy:
