most of you have heard but i was in a bad motorcycle accident on monday while driving home from work. i was approaching an intersection when a lady made a left turn in front of me. i saw a white car and the next thing i remember is laying on the pavement, not being able to feel my legs.
fire dept and police showed up and they took me by ambulance. after it was all said and done, i fractured my right knee and left ankle. i have road rash covering both legs, my right arm, and upper back. my knee looks like someone shoved a grapefruit under the skin and buckles anytime i put weight on it. my left leg continues to swell day by day. good times, good times.
i go to the orthopedic surgeon on friday for him to look at my knee and see where we go from there. my work has been pretty understanding, but if it goes into late next week, i'll go on short-term disability. still drawing 100% pay, but still on disability. i'm hoping for a good report on friday that the swelling will just go away, but part of me thinks i fucked up the ligaments. (sidenote: my knee was the only bodypart between the car and my bike...)
just wanted to let you all know, so if i seem more of a dick than usual (yes, it is possible!), i'm either in a lot of pain or hyped up on percocet.

Yeah man, get well, and if you don't mind some unsolicited advice dump the bike, you have 3 kids for god's sake!
And to interject some humor to counteract the prior nag, some of us need your artificer to make $hit for us, I mean luckily your typing fingers weren't hurt.

Wait, wait, wait. I must know. Gimme a SITREP on the stones? Are they INOP or can we still hope to see 4th and 5th min-pillars?
I agree with Sini. Ditch the bike. All my family's ever done is wreck on those, and sometimes without a car or rain in sight. My mom, dad, and two uncles have all had their share of eating asphalt.
Get better, and at least you can spend more time with us and your family. Just try to keep down the irritability for your wife's sake (since she just inherited another child to take care of! muahahaha).
Don't let it get ya down, bro! :o) We'll be here for ya.

had surgery this morning to repair my LCL. doc said everything went great which is a relief. they did a nerve block on my leg and about 8 hours later, it's starting to wear off and the pain is starting to set in. but, i have some pretty good vicotin i start rehab in a week and the med equipment people are coming to drop off a machine that i have to use to stretch and bend the knee, 3-6 hours a day. ugh...
