It's been a hell of a summer so far!!!
 

I work demolition during the summer to make some extra cash. Well I went to work an extra day on Saturday, ever thing was going good. Until about 20 minutes be for we leave. I was removing a double pane window from its frame, when the glass breaks (was not tempered glass) So I go a nice piece of glass stuck in my right fore arm. I was rushed to the ER, got 8 staples put until I could have surgery. I cut 4 tendons and 2 veins (oh and the blood does squirt out like in the movies) well had surgery this morning and I'm feeling great. The only problem is that I can't ride for 6 weeks. This sucks!!!!!!!!!

ps im working on getting some pictures up.

That sucks, man. Glad to hear that you are OK. Use the down time for some tasty mods!

Glad they were able to patch you up, tendons are pretty serious. Heal fast.

Tendon and muscle injuries totally suck and heal slow.

Two weeks ago I knifed the hell out my left index finger with a customers knife while I was stripping some wire. went to the bone and bled like crazy.
Couldnt feel the tip of my finger for a week or more, pretty scary.
Girlfriend is a doctor and explains how muscle tissue doesnt regenerate, just like brain tissue... it only heals slowly, and will be hurting for weeks.

In your case, I hope it didnt hurt like my finger did, holy shit.

Yikes! Get well brother!

Wow , that sux ! Like someone else said ..good time to work out some mods on the bike . Let me know when you get healed up & we can hit the hills for a post-op rehabilitation ride. :thumbsup:

Glad it wasn't worse, get well soon!

Thanks for everyone's wishes. I would love to do some mods to the bike, but first I have to get some money. HRCVTR1000 I would love a post-op rehabilitation ride!!!!

here are some pictures.

Dude, that's friggin' nasty.

Ditto!

Fuking OUCH!

Heal well - don't rush it.

and they say MCing is dangerous

weird, but suddenly im in the mood for very rare steak.. lol

Brydman, you should probably put a "Graphic Pics" warning in your thread title now.

Oh yeah!! That hurts just looking at it!!

ouch hope you get healed quickly. i havent ever caught a cut that bad. i handle glass pretty regular(like tomarrow) and this really helps with the paranoia lol. heads up out there.

well im stuck in the cast for 5 more weeks.... this is hell!!!!!!! and I just bought a -1 front sprocket.

And the wound is sorta nasty too!:D:D
J/K man. Sux, but I hope you get workmans comp or SOME kind of compensation!!!

This kind of tendon damage can work itself out in 24 to 36 months if you're under the age of 40. Rehab slowly at first but if you hit it hard a little later you can expect a total recovery at your age. After 40 yo you're in a constant regenerative mode because if you don't move it - you lose it because of the damage. Looks like it closed nicely. Wear your cast as a badge for your effort that day. Show up at work and have lunch with the guys. They will be glad to see you on the mend.

yea, but look at it this way...chicks dig scars...

Ya I have already gotten a few numbers :D

Damn! Watch for infection. Hope it heals well & you're back riding soon!
