Well boys and girls...

I fųcked up.

I've broken my knee. I'm waiting for an ambulance to take me to Harborview in Seattle where they're going to do an emergency surgery.

I was supposed to take my son to a Mastodon show on Sunday in Seattle. This ain't the ride I was looking for.

KTM 300 bucked me.
It is both dislocated and broken.

 

[Iron1]

Oh no! Sorry brutha! Hope they're getting you taken care of!

[Iron1]

Thanks man.
Just rolled into the Harborview

Glad you're getting it taken care of semi-quickly. Keep us posted.

I've never had any surgery of any kind at all. I am nervous about it. Actually, I'm terrified.

 

[TVvoodoo]

OMG...ally my best wishes for a quick and solid mend!

 

[mcblink]

Thanks Brad



I'm drugged up and waiting for MRI

Sheesh. Definitely not a good day. Let us know how it all goes. My guess, you’re in good hands and will be back to good as new in no time. Take care man!

Keep thinking it’d be fun to get back on a dirt bike. You just reminded why at my age it wouldn’t be a good idea.

Ask for mid-surgery pictures - then use them for your band's album cover. \m/

Dirt bikes are fun. The stupid thing is that I wasn't even doing anything cool. I was just putting around in first gear. But the bike got away from me and I must have just landed on my leg wrong and bent it backwards at the knee. I felt a crack/pop and I went down, and couldn't get back up.

Yeah. That ain’t right. Hyper extended a knee one time. I know how much that hurt. Can’t imagine how much fun you’re having.

And dude. Put your pants back on.

I still ride my XR500R, but I don't do a lot of the tricks i used to do.

Hoping you get healed up quickly!!!!

Most definitely. Had more fun on my dirt bikes than I ever did on the street. Crashed plenty… but was lucky and never got hurt too bad other than scrapes and bruises. Although there was that one time I went over the bars and landed head first. Rung my bell pretty good that day. Guess it took me about 4 hours or so to rejoin society. Had to take others word for it as I don’t remember a thing.

 

[Truss_rod]

That really sucks. Heal up quick.

 

[mcblink]

Just set the bones....which hurt like nothing I've felt before. This will require 2 or 3 surgeries and I go under the knife in a few hours.

 

[smitty_p]

Dude, if you didn't wanna go to the concert, I'm sure there was an easier way out of it!

Seriously, get better soon!

 

[mcblink]

I can't believe that I did this to myself.
I was supposed to go see Mastodon with my son tomorrow! Dammit!!
