Hopping mad...out of surgery & feeling better already

[Steve84N]

It must be very painful but take some comfort in this, a fella I worked with many years ago was knocked off his motor bike - an old bike with a steering damper knob - the thought he'd done ok an was relatively unscathed - until he felt damp in the now painful nether region - the impact with the steering damper knob had spilt the end of his penis.

It made my eyes water when he told us!

When I had a crash on a motorcycle I broke my wrist but didn't realise until examination in A&E that one of my testicles had exploded when I hit the tank before going over the bars...

Get better soon.

 

[Grumpyowl]

That looks very painful as all others have said, hope your going to find a way of getting comfortable when it's time for bed.. In many ways your lucky she didn't take your leg off. SMIDSY

 

[jabber]

Ouch!!!!! Get well soon

 

[Nictrix]

Hope the bikes relatively unscathed Rob...........

Have you got yourself a small bell so you can summon Mrs B when you require a cuppa and chocolate hobnob while recuperating 8) .........You may need to be back in XRay to see if you can see said bell if you push your luck

Let's hope nothings broken and your home soon.

Bikes unmarked apart from snapped gear lever (I think I broke it with my toe) I stayed on it!
It hurt a bit when I pushed it home though!
Rob

Sorry to hear about your misfortune but had to laugh when I read you pushed the bike home. Its funny how your p&j must be sorted first.
The last bike accident I had I rode home with cracked ribs, a ripped almost detached thigh muscle and bruising to the bone in my knee along with the usual pains of landing on tarmac.
The handle bars were bent and twisted, indicators gone, lever snapped but made it the 12 miles home and parked up before visiting the hospital.
What kind of boots were you wearing?

Hi, I've got thousands of pounds worth of biking gear so I was wearing trainers of course! :lol:

I was wondering as bike gear is pretty good at protecting you nowadays

Just got back on the ward , big toe nail removed & nail bed stitched up.

Don't take this the wrong way Rob, and I can't explain why, but that's gotta be the funniest pic I've seen on the Forum :lol:

 

[ronk]

Looks like the end of a dancing career!

 

[TitanTim]

Have they done the right toe? :? Never mind matron will be round soon with a goodnight flannel :lol:

I don't think they would have made much difference to be honest, I would have needed steel toe caps to have escaped this one!

It's just cos I'm used to pics of you in your Zed or your Elise or your Train or in your Garden or your in House, not in a hospital bed. It just looks so incongruent: Rob in a hospital bed - apologies

I didn't realise that one of my testicles had exploded

I can't even process this.

 

[Steve84N]

Clearly neither could I. I felt that I'd hit the tank but had no idea what it had done. In the following hours the pain arrived and the whole thing looked like a black grapefruit.

Bikes are dangerous but so much fun.

PS: I feel your pain on the nail front too, I've had a big one fall off from a blister before and had ingrowing toe nail surgery twice. Make sure you keep it well trimmed and shaped as it comes back as it tends to be not as neat.

Hi, surprisingly I didn't get much pain from the damaged nail-it's the shattered big toe bone & burst toe that really bought tears to my eyes.
After my surgery last night 90% of the pain & stinging has gone.
I'm really pleased with the improvement and can't wait to get home, bit of a she I was kept in overnight as its Mrs Bears Birthday today

[Steve84N]

Have you been told if it's likely to be a 100% recovery or could there be residual symptoms?

I'm not even going to try.

Rob

Great to here the pain is far less following surgery.

You'll have to bake Mrs Bear a cake and then help her eat it. :wink:

I don't think they really know, I'm seeing my doctor next week for a follow up check so will see what he thinks.
Been speaking to insurance co today & compo may have been mentioned.
This time next year I maybe in a 35is :lol:

It's a very elaborate plan just to avoid 'flowers and dinner'. Hope your poor 'paw' gets well soon
