Hospitalling

[robotech_master]

I promised a fuller explanation today, so here goes.

Yesterday morning, I was riding in to work on my scooter. As a lot of my route takes me eastword, that means the sun is right in my eyes.

So, I couldn't see the road clearly, and I clipped a parked car about about 20 or 30 miles per hour. I laid down the bike (think I may have totalled it, but I'll hope not) and hit the road on my left knee.

An ambulance ride and some X-rays later, it came out that I had really done a number on the knee. Shattered the bone below the knee into several pieces, so they were going to have to operate to put those pieces back together.

They did so that afternoon, and I've been recovering from it ever since.

Prognosis is that I get to stay in the hospital for a few days, then I get to go home and be very careful not to put any weight at all on that foot for the next six to eight weeks.

For those who care, I'm in Cox South hospital in Springfield, MO, room 806 on the East wing.

Dang. That really sucks, man. I broke my leg once (above the knee) and had to go into surgery to have a rod put down the middle of it.

I hope you heal quickly!

Owowowow! I am so sorry :( hospital stays always suck massively - but they are far better than trying to habble around at home damaging your injury even more. *hugs* get well and buy some aviation grade sun glasses for the east/west morning evening rides. Trust me, they work awesome. If you want I cna find you a pair.

I hope you heal fast, and feel better soon. I hope the bike isn't totaled, either.

Damn! Just glad to hear you're alive! Hear's hoping the surgery goes well and the bike's not a wash. Hang in there.
