My first accident

1/3

     So I've had my first near death encounter haha. I'm writing this from my hospital bed. 

    I was heading north on Pittwater in Narrabeen. Turning right onto Ocean St. Light was green. No car ahead of me in the turning lane. My eyes wandered to the left, looking at a Mitsubishi Evo X that was passing by. Didn't look to check for oncoming traffic. Turned. Bam.  I must have been doing 30. Car that hit me would have been doing 50ish. Hit the left side of my front wheel. I don't know what happened next. I was on the ground. Felt no pain to be honest. All I heard were voices asking me if I was ok. 

    It happened right in front of the fire station luckily.  Bunch of guys ran out to help me right away. Big puddle of blood in the middle of the street. Jeans all torn. And a stinging pain in the crack of my ass. Yup. Next thing I know a fireman has his finger up my ass.

    Ambo and police came. All super nice. Obviously my fault. Taken to hospital.  Few stitches on my left shin, small fracture on my right thumb, and a very bad laceration in my ass crack. My arse must have skidded on the road for a bit. I've had two operations so far. One to clean it up. Another to close it up. You'd be surprised how much your ass bleeds. Apparently a lot of blood vessels there. 

    Im here for a couple days. On antibiotics. It's a pretty nasty laceration that is still bleeding. Of course I have some old Russian guy in the bed across from me who keeps randomly saying shit in Russian while dropping massive rippers. I envy him. My asshole is packed with gauze and all my farts backfire.  I won't even get into the detail of how difficult it was to drop the kids off at the pool today. 

    Gotta have a laugh about it!

    Could have been a lot worse so I must say I'm very fortunate. Another foot into the turn and the car would have crushed my leg for sure. All I know is I've had more fingers up my wazoo in the last two days than one could ever hope for.

    As for the bike, no clue what condition it's in. The guys who I take it to normally for work picked it up today. See if its a write off or not!

    Hey ConR all the best on the mend, great that you have a sense of humour about it all. Bikes can be replaced, although it might need to be one with a real comfy seat, .

    Hey keep us amused, let us know how you're going, whats the food like, and of course the nurses (have a listen to Alice Coopers Nurse Rozetta) that ought to keep ya goin.

    All the best mate heal fast.

    Thanks guys. Yeah really opens your eyes. No sense being all dopey about it. Although the endone is doing a great job at that!

    The food is shite. I was served what they called chicken today, but I have no clue what it was. But that's a small price to pay for having your own personal arse wiper. I feel like the Sultan of Brunei.

    The nurses are really nice. Few lookers for sure! But once they get a look at my droopy old mans ass, my chances are gone!

Ive had a couple that at times kept me from riding for months...sounds like your in good spirits....better a bung plopper than losing a nad or an eye.....just lay off the assplay for a couple of weeeks or at at least make sure its you wearing the strap on and gas mask for a monthor two....get well mate, hope the insurance pays.

    Congrats on making it through the biggest learning experience of all. Don't forget to drop off a slab for the firey with the brown finger - a fucking hero in my books.

    Thanks everyone. I should be getting discharged today after some X-rays clear.

    I tell ya, most people look forward to their showers. I despise them now haha. Burns like hell. I also can't.....wipe. Have to rinse with water every time I go.

    My doc showed me a pic of it this morn. Beautiful sight!

    Ouch, I had an op a couple of years back and the guy in the next bed had just had an op to remove an ingrowing hair at the base of his spine. Anyway the poor bugga was petrified of getting an infection as it was so close to his ass that he asked for advise from every nurse and doctor who came near him. Sorry to say but I had tears of laughter running down my face picturing what he was explaining which as my op was for a hernia wasn't ideal recovery! Shit happens I guess.

    Get well soon bro, it sounds like your SOH is intact just chalk it off as one of life's experiences as you are still with us and bikes can be replaced.

    Thanks for all the thoughts everyone.

    bahl, maybe that came out wrong haha.

    Doc came back today. Turns out the cut I have is pretty bad. I don't want to get into too much detail, but the cut is 1" deep and 2" long, extending right from the outside of my cinnamon ring out wards. It's basically left a flap of flesh.

    Very high risk of infection. And any time I pray to the porcelain god it has to be cleaned. Since I can't do that solo, and I can't get a nurse to come out to my place each time I let loose, i may have to stay in the hospital until it heals. A week at least.
