Well boys and girls...

I've been reviewing the video footage of your accident.

It was probably not a good idea trying to get back on the bike...

Funny , man this game brings back memories. I used to race the fam when the kids were little. That must have been about 35 years ago.
 
I got a good nurse for tonight's shift. No shortage of pain meds tonight, I feel pretty decent, just sore and tired.

Turns out that the other night, I went without any kind of pain meds for 10 hours! I don't know how that even happens...but perhaps that guy got fired cause he ain't here tonight!

No, I only have 4 big ass rods freshly jabbed through my leg and mounted into my bones....no need for pain meds at all! :rolleyes:
 
Just random thoughts I'm having, figured I might as well just put em here for posterity.
Maybe I should have my wife bring me a guitar to mess around with. She's gonna be bringing the Nintendo switch and some games. Or maybe I should get into crocheting. I can make some fuzzy socks for the attractive nurses. One of them has already taken to calling me "honey" lol
She probably calls all her patients that though. What a slut. :ROFLMAO:

There was a time several years back when I very nearly lost all the fingers on my left hand after a Kenworth fell off a jack while I was trying to fix it in the field. Only by the grace of God did I come out of that one with nothing more than severe bruising, by all rights I should have lost every digit if not the whole hand. Still to this day, I can't explain why I didn't, other than a genuine miracle. But, while I was home recovering, I was on a pretty hefty dose of oxy, and I began to write. It turned out that writing came easily from that place/headspace. So yeah, writing did cross my mind, but so far there have been too many distractions for me to come up with anything "meaningful"...but I suspect that this recovery is going to require more time than the last one, and thus, I may have lots of opportunities to put words on paper that mean something to me.
 
Happy Tuesday to you, Blinkie.

I am still very sorry you are going through this ordeal. I can't imagine how one's mind can struggle when being immobilized. Sis and I are going through the aftermath of the stroke mom had back in the first week of July. Mom has had to basically be in a bed 10 months and counting because her right side was immobilized. Her speech also lost, and to top things off, dementia does not help. BUT, she has had her good days too, she can sing even though she can't talk clearly. Can you even imagine 10 months and counting, unable to walk, use a toilet, have a proper conversation, or even unbend her clenched up right hand and arm all due to what parts of the brain got wiped out from stroke damage?

I sure am glad your brain seems very clear, considering the injury, meds, strain and concern about uncertainty of outcome that you surely have to have racing through it.
Sure hope a guitar, vid games, book, etc go far in keeping you occupied until surgery day.

Yeah these things can be rough.
My wife is really having a harder time with this than I am, mentally.
We're still praying that I can be operated on as early as Thursday and hopefully recovered enough to be discharged by next Monday or Tuesday. I am told that 3 months in a wheelchair after that is not out of the question and that it's likely expected. Then, either crutches or a walker for a while. When the surgery is complete, there won't be any cast of any sort, just maybe some bracing in the beginning stages of recovery.

Thank God it wasn't worse....because I was just dicking around and not racing around, I wasn't wearing any safety gear at all - not even a helmet (which I know damn well better than that) but I could have just as easily fallen and hit my head.

This sucks for sure, but it could have been much much worse, so I'm thankful that it wasn't.

Chin up, moving forward, one day at a time.

I hear ya there, Blink,,,,,, I still remember the time I was goofing off maybe 10 years ago riding my skateboard. I was el stupido and wrecked from my lame brain idea. LOL I thought it would be fun to hop on and have my pit bull pull me down the hill as I held her leash. Well, when I went to drag my toe on my rear foot, she zigged when I essentially zagged and her strength pulled me off balance and I took a tumble. No helmet of course, but I escaped with only some road rash and not a busted skull.

We guys aren't always the brightest huh.
