BAM! Accident! 2
#26568756 - 03/31/20 10:09 AM (3 years, 10 months ago) |

When you've got it all figured out with the COVID situation..
I fell square off my bike, bounced my head of the pavement, large bleeding bruises in my face and bloody nose, pain and sweling in the knee, possibly broken bones in my hand.
FUCK FUCK FUCK
I had a doctor visit me at home, both of us wearing mouth masks, she wanted to have my hand x-rayed at the hospital, i told her that with my comorbidities and Covid the hospital is the last place i want to be, so we settled on me being a trooper and riding it out for a few days to have either 1) the swelling disappear, in wich case no harm no foul or 2) swelling remains or increases, then an xray must be taken, with possible risk of death.
Fortunately i let myself be shot up for Hepatitis A + B, Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio 4 years ago so thats a big worry and hassle less.
When you got it all fucking figured out, you fall square on your face on the pavement and may actually have to visit the most pestilent place in town 
It hurts like heck.
I stagger like Quasimodo through my house.
I got a fricking mitella from my prep, i conveniently have everything i need.
Still, right now in the hospital willing to take my x-ray, good people are drowning in their own lung fluids on oxygen due to Covid - while their partially infected nurses look on powerless to help them.
I count my blessings that it seems that all i got was this moderate kicking by God and hope that pain is the worst that this misadventure will offer.

Ohh these "accidents" they happen from time to time and when they do it is heavy stone to carry.
Take care, heal.
Best of wishes.

That is something that I have considered during this pandemic. High-risk activities are on the backburner, you've got to be extra careful since in a month or two I don't think there will even be decent medical care for non-life threatening injuries.
It's crazy to think that we might be back to setting broken bones and stitching wounds on our own for a while, and hoping we don't get infected wounds.

Damn man that's rough, sorry to hear it.
I was just thinking about something like this the other day, it feels like I'm walking on eggshells, trying to avoid anything possible that could result in a doctors visit, as well as knowing if anyone in my house has to go then we're all exposed
Do you guys have urgent care over there? The ones near me, right now you can pretty much check in online, wait in your car, then head right back to the XRAY when you're ready, pretty much avoiding anyone other than the Xray tech.
Maybe try splinting things in place for now, pretty easy to make homemade ones

If nothing is broken i can handle myself A-OK.
Its a potential hospital visit i dread. I'm prepped to the hilt, including enough naproxen to poison an orphanage
I can handle myself, i just hate to catch the bug.

Count your blessings you didn’t concuss your melon. Chicks dig face scars too. The bright side for your hand is for the most part if you broke a bone you would know it. There’s not a whole lot of ‘maybe’ when that happens in my experience and the only purpose of an x ray is to see how broken it is and how the fractures run. So hopefully that means you’ll be good and not have to go into the hospital.

The fall was almost surreal. I made an ill conceived move to get my bike going again, I tilted to the side, my foot reached or the ground, but right there was a hole, so it became a fall, arms flailing, then a (??) moment as I contact the pavement with 365 lbs, then that kinetic energy whipped my rather sizable head face first, eyes open right into the pavement, destroying my forehead, busting my nose which at once bleeded profusely, i roll over catching the blood with my fingers as best I can not to stain my coat going FUUUUUCK! as I pieced two and two together.
Bystanders arrived bearing a tissue roll for the blood, I spent some time on the ground giving myself a diagnostic and then, ungracefully, got back on my feet.
Cycled home, bleeding, cleaned the wounds with aftershave then wound sterilizer and, given how bad it was, decided to call my GP's assistant to see what we could get done without involving the hospital.
Once more i noticed i kinda have a high pain treshold. It can hurt a lot without me recoiling or getting noisy.

First and formost, hope you heal well and that the hand is nothing serious  if it is the left arm the situation has me more concerned than the right

if it is the left arm please look into one of these

or otherwise ask your spirit guardian for some shamanic shielding am concerned you may have gotten caught in transference of one of my bad luck curses after our discussion on the population and urban structuring of Dutch cities

Man thats harsh, I can imagine, suffering from Broken bones and months before i finally had a proper operation during childhood days is a struggle, specially during this time, Was getting lucky for a long time, until last 2 months ago. i still feel lucky though, that it did happen earlier.
Wishing you well man, hope there's no major fractures.

Did you see the flash on impact? I hate that ‘fuck this really happened’ thought you get while it’s happening. It’s been awhile since I busted my ass so I’m probably due for one.
Incidentally, it’s been awhile since I had an alcoholic beverage as well..
