Well, the surgery was successful. They pinned together everything that was floating around, realigned the base of my hand with my wrist and did a bone graft from my hip to my scaphoid. It hurt like crazy for the first cuople of days, but it's getting a little better now. I didn't realize how bad my hip would hurt from the graft. I'm hobbling around with a cane and look like a little old lady. I'm still in a semi soft cast with relief cuts in it to expand and shrink as the swelling moves around. But all in all, the doc thinks it looks really good for me. I get the first of several hard casts on thursday. Any suggestions on a color?? Well, i have the pictures from the accident finally. It takes a lot of effort to do computer work with on hand!!

Here's two pictures, one of my leg and one of my side the day after the wreck.

Good to hear things are going well. I, of course, went with Orange.

 

[DH Diva]

Here's a couple of my face the day after, my other leg, and then one of me a week after.

 

[DH Diva]

And finally, to keep my outlook positive, here's what I should look like! The riding picture is me hitting the section at schweitzer last year that did the damage to me two weeks ago.

you look awful grumpy in that last picture.

 

[DH Diva]

you look awful grumpy in that last picture.

Yeah, well when your boyfriend interupts your drug induced slumber to photograph your gnarly face, you'd be grumpy too!!

 

[me89]

just one mans opinion but ouch that looks painfull. you dont here to much about chicks takin hits like that major props for the balls you showed. and you also look better the way your supposed to than ya do after the crash lol. peace and keep up the good ridin dh diva.

and the color must match your bike theres no question about it. you have to sport the colors of the rig you just have to. lol did that just come outa my mouth well you get the point.

 

[Transcend]

Yeah, well when your boyfriend interupts your drug induced slumber to photograph your gnarly face, you'd be grumpy too!!

Well you have a good point there. If ANY guy woke me from a drug induced slumber and he wasn't a doctor, I'd be mighty worried and grumpy too.

So now that you are out of action, you can work on that non existent tan of yours.

 

[me89]

ouch thats harsh shes a bikin chick not a snob noised prep chick.lol she has better things to do than tan right.lol

 

[DH Diva]

So does anyone want to play guess the ER bill game?? It showed up a couple of days ago and wow was it pricey!!

Procedures:

full x-rays of the hand and wrist
Full abdominal CT
Full blood work up
Tetnus shots
Casting
IV administered morphine
Orthopedic consult
XRay copies (film and digital)

Anyone? Anyone?

Hey I'm from Oregon!! We really don't have sun here! And it's pretty hard to tan through my DH and moto kits!

And I'm mostly Welsh. We don't really brown, we freckle!

 

[me89]

2563.56 cents.lol

 

[DH Diva]

2563.56 cents.lol

That's a bit low.

 

[DHracer1067]

16875.67

 

[DH Diva]

16875.67

Thats way too high!

 

[Duzitall]

For the items listed $5,230. I'm certain there's more stuff on the bill than that.

Good luck, keep moving, drink lots of water and eat lots of vitamins, fresh fruits and veggies.

[Transcend]

I would guess about 8500

 

[DH Diva]

Actually the first guess was the closest. It came in at about $4000. Not huge, but certainly the biggest ER bill I've ever logged! I love insurance!

 

[Curb Hucker]

ouch thats harsh shes a bikin chick not a snob noised prep chick.lol she has better things to do than tan right.lol

you sound like you are 11

as for the bill i think fraser is close, around $8000 i'd say

 

[cali4niabiker]

Wow, what a spill. Heal fast & get well soon Diva! Props to the insurance for saving your wallet.

wow, that is a good deal actually. As soon as you have CTs the bill usually skyrockets. Good stuff, and yes, insurance is key. I do not undertand people who get cable and beer before health insurance.

 

[Jeremy R]

Here's a couple of my face the day after, my other leg, and then one of me a week after.

Holy crap.
I just watched that Behind the Music on Rick James, and it showed the pics of that women he beat the hell out of, and it looked just like those pics.

Well, I realize that is probaly not that funny to you, so again I am sorry about your injuries and I hope that silly scaphoid heals up nice for ya!

Take Care.

 

[erikkellison]

Wow.
How's your BF liking the XL Bullit? I'm loving mine, thanks again so much. Unfortunately, it's not as pretty as when I got it from him.
Anyway, I can't help but notice that in the pic of your side, it seems that you are missing a belly button. Any comments?
Do heal quickly, being injured is no fun for anyone. I'm just feeling better after a crash at Hemlock 3 weeks ago, but mere peas and carrots compared to you

Hah! That picture does make it look like i'm buttonless. I assure you I do have one. I think it looks funny because of my pants being very very low (almost indecently low). I'm low ridden right now because my hip was so bruised and now the opposite hip hurts because it was the bone graft doner. Dave is loving his bullit. I'm glad to hear yours is working out for you too. And hey, if it's so pretty anymore, that just means you've been ridding a lot!

wow that looks painful. did they give you any t3s?

i had surgery for a hernia and didnt have to pay a cent

 

[Velocity Girl]

OUCH!!!! Those look like the kind of bruises that you get the full rainbow effect of color....black then blue then purple then green then yellow!!!!

Glad to hear the surgery went well and hope you have a good recovery!

 

[Guess?Who]

I hope you feel better.
I love riding my bike but hate falling.

 

[biggins]

go with the bright orange cast. thats what i did except all my casts went up to my armpit.
