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

Looks painful. Did A+E discuss it with the on call orthopaedic surgeon or are they managing themselves? If it's an open fracture (a direct communication between the laceration and the broken bone), I hope they thoroughly irrigated it and sent you home with antibiotics? If the interphalyngeal joint communicates with the wound, it should be explored by an orthopaedic surgeon in an operating theatre tomorrow.
 
That looks so painful :cry:

Hope you have a speedy recovery and that the bikes ok!

At least the accelerator foot is ok :wink:

That's exactly what they did (the first one) I have instructions to keep it elevated higher than my heart & it's getting a scrub out tomorrow when it's hopefully less swollen, I had a tetanus booster jab as well.

Good to hear they're treating it seriously rather than saying it's 'just a toe' and dismissing it :thumbsup:
 
Holy s**t Rob. That looks proper sore. I've heard a bottle of whiskey helps more than a glass
 
Ouch, that looks seriously painful Rob!

But at least you managed to stay on the bike, and have witnesses.

And also have a supply of anaesthetic. :lol:

This is one of those times you wonder if an auto may not be such a bad idea! :roll:

Wishing you all the best with your recovery. :thumbsup: (And don't forget to make an injury claim against the numpty).
 
yikes - thats a seriously nasty wound matched to a seriously large anaesthetic (whiskey)

hope all goes well
 
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!

Hard to tell from the photo. Too much blood and gore. :wink:

Hope that fixes quick rob, looks painful as hell.
 
Well, you can't say you didn't warn us (gore). Wish I hadn't looked. Other than BMWZ4MC's professional interest, who did you think would benefit from seeing that? :rofl:
I hope you can 'bear' the pain of the injury, and that it gets properly seen to by the surgeon at A&E.
Speedy recovery, mate :thumbsup:
