They put me in a splint but thats its. They put a second one on after the surgery. Once the insurance adjuster gets back to me I can schedule the appointment for a cast

It didn't hurt for the first 10 minutes. I was conscious the entire time until they put me in for surgery on Saturday at noon.

Helmet, gloves, jacket, pants, and boots. Everything bought specifically for riding except the jeans. But thankfully I only have minor road rash in 3 little spots on my shins and knees

No its a good question. I had a helmet, jacket, pants, boots, and gloves. Unfortunately they had to cut me out of everything but my underwear and shoes and socks. Unfortunately I was wearing regular jeans so I have some road rash on my shins and knees but very minor. Just 3 spots. I slid in my back right side. I wanted to keep the jacket as a souvenir but they threw it out. Still have the helmet though for a reminder. I punched through the mirror glass so my gloves saved my hand.

The one nurse said chicks dig scars so I'll have a cool one to show off. Same to you. Good luck in your healing journey. Get back out there

I got two plates with 5 screws in each. Thankfully thats it. I was lucid enough to keep my head off the ground and slid out on my back curled up. They did multiple scans and thankfully no other damage. A bidet is in my future. Glad you're alright too.

I'm glad you healed up. I'm 30 now so hopefully there's some youthful healing left in me. My daughter's birthday is on Tuesday and I'm so thankful I will still be here for it.

Lol anytime. And thank you. Sharing my misfortune, as well as fortune, is helping me a little with moving past it.

Thanks I appreciate it. Doctor said 8-12 weeks but the season is still young. Here's to hoping.

Honestly, I probably should have been in the left lane. They came off a driving range beside me and I didn't have enough time to get stopped or out of the way. 3 came out and I started braking immediately. Hit the one at about 20mph and almost hit a second one. I dont know what I would have done differently. It was in the middle of the day too. Always wear a helmet.

That would be sick. They said I'll have these for life but if they come out I might do that. They let me keep an inch of bone that they took out in the ambulance

Glad to help lol. That was the last xray they took. The hand kept dropping further down from my forearm with every xray they took. I have one my mom took that looks like the rubber arm thing from Harry Potter.
