so wnet to the specialist today. he works with sports related bone injuries annd specializes in hands. the radius bone was completely broken off. 2 plates, some screws/pins and maybe a little bone grafting. one of my wrist bones is broken all to peices lookine at plates, screws and pins. also my arm bone has a liner fracture by my wrist area, screws. go into surgery monday will stay overnight and possibly end up with one of those exosceleton type braces that goes throug skin and attaches to the bone to stailize it. here are two pics from the night it happened people that know what they are looking at will appreciate these.

Looks just like my momma's wrist...and I'm not joking. She had a bad spill on Roller Blades many years back, had the full porcupine effect on her bed for many weeks with a nurse that would come visit to take care of her.

The Xrays made me sick, and neither of my brother's could deal with it. She still has all the scars on that arm and spent a long time in PT.

Good luck...and take care of it...you're in for a fun ride.

yeah this will be measured in months.not weeks. at least they gave me some percoset this time.

That sucks man. Dont worry though I was out for over 4 months and once you are back on the bike you completely forget about the down time.


There are some positives... not in any particular order
- You can practice drinking with your left hand
- There is porn on the internet these days
- Its like a whole new woman
- It is an easy ice breaker with the ladies
- You get immediate pity points from said ladies.
- good excuse not to shower

lets just say after 1 & a beer you could break it all over again & it wouldnt hurt.

 

[golgiaparatus]

Damn dude
That crap sends chills up my spine. Did they say you are going to heal up okay?

Grab a pic of the terminators hand and walk in and ask them if you can get one of those, they look pretty sturdy

 

[shifty S]

dude that sucks, no trip for you??

 

[Westy]

I hope you did not suffer any nerve damage. Lotso' nerves run through the wrist and you could have seriously ef'ed them up.

 

[bizutch]

can I have your car ?

Call me about the wheel.....Damn, that is sickening. You should scan that at Kinko's and have a t-shirt made!

 

[zod]

That sucks big time Ben......just keep in good spirits man and the down time will move by fast....
Speaking of that, I had a minor wrist injury that kept me off the bike for 2.5 months......during that time is when I really learned to unicycle just for the sake of being on some form of wheel(s). Let me know if you'd like to get one and I'll cut you one hell of a deal through the shop given you current circumstances. It sounds kind of funny/stupid but that dumb unicycle helped me pass a lot of time that otherwise would have been spent inside feeling sorry for myself.

 

[Curiouscaptian01]

Ben man that blows...

Hope you can find something to do you crazy fool. I know you were trying to keep a positive outlook on it last Saturday, so keep that going. Hope to ride with you soon. If I was old enough I would send you a beer or something.

 

[DRB]

The freakin' xrays are more distribuing then the pictures.

That second one caused a little stomach churnin'.

Just do what the doctor's say and you'll get it going again.

 

[biggins]

well, they have moved my surgery to wednesday, the doctor was not quite satisfied with the support staff available monday. i appreciate evertones support and have no fear i will be back in action in a few months.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Damn...that looks ton worse than the original photos! Hopefully you get better and are out riding as quick as possible. I think the RESPECT CREW should hold a bake sale and raise money for porn and biking videos for you.

 

[Rip]

Well that will put an end to your season. Sorry to hear.

If only we knew how to bake 'legal' foods.

 

[Skookum]

Welp sorry to hear the bad news, but lookin at it people could tell that it wasn't an injury you can just "pop" back into joint and be good to go.
Give her some time and do what the doc tells you to do and next thing you know you'll be right as rain.....

[laura]

[DNA]

I have a couple of Double Down (one of Thor Wixom's earlier vids) that I can send your way. PM me an address and I will drop it in the mail.

 

[H20bomberman]

[Rip]

[biggins]

i dont have vhs at all but i would love to borrow some videos. im thinkin i might just go online and buy some new ones but i dont know where to go

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Good luck, Biggins!

Do yourself a big favor and avoid getting dependant on the pain medications - that's a real nasty trap.

im trying not to. im waiting longer than they reccomend between doses.

 

[rideLIKEjehu]

awww geez ben, that kinda blows man... comes with the game i guess though.

maybe you could get them to attach a fishin' pole to that whole exoskeleton thing... you could get a whole series of attachments like some superhero!!!

 

[jet]

Jesus that looks horible.

Had to scroll really fast over the x-rays. Hopefully we'll see hanging out at some of the races. Maybe we can help yopu put some beer on it to make the sweeling go away...

 

[SirChomps-a-Lot]

That's rough, man.

Know what, though? You're a sissy and mine is worse.:devil:

you might be worried about getting hooked on the meds, but it won't heal as well if you're in pain.

I've been on some grade-A **** for 2 weeks straight and I can quit any time I want!

 

[BMXPrincess06]

wow, that makes my wrist look good. i'm sorry that this happened to you, must have hurt.....a lot.

 

[BMXPrincess06]

i was and still am on meds for my wrist, but most of the time i'm to lazzy to get up and take them, that i just get used to the pain, and learn with it, so dont depend on meds to take care of it, depend on yourself... it works.
