I hate the them! My alarm goes off every 4 hours to take them. The past 7 weeks have been pretty rough. Multiple surgeries and 8 days in the hospital. Lesson learned is to not break your leg, ankle and elbow all at once.

Sorry to hear that.. but looks like you are in good spirit. Get well soon.
While I'm sorry to hear you're hurt... I gotta bust your balls....... No story? Really? [fail]
Ouch! Might be too soon but, consider acupuncture later.
Just connecting the dots with your avatar....motorcycle crash? Happy to see you're on the mend. Hang in there.
Stay on top of he pain man, good luck
Oh, c'mon. Might as well break them all at once and get it all over with at once. It would suck to string them out one after another!
Take care and mend quickly!
My thought as well but talk about unlucky. I have done a few rides down the asphalt back in my Karting days. playing ragdoll @ 100 is no fun but the worst I did was break an ankle.[Flower]Quote:

I tucked the front in third gear probably doing 90ish and crashed rather hard.
I slid into a concrete lined ditch feet first.
There is video of my crash a spectator took on YouTube but I have not watched it yet.
The big injuries are Compound fracture of left femur above the knee, torn tendons left ring finger, right heel is broke in several places (calcaneus fracture),right elbow joint is shattered and right wrist is fractured below the elbow.
I have had 4 surgeries so far and it's possible for one more.
I am very lucky my injuries were not worse and glad to be alive. Race officials think moisture on the paint stripes and road temp were factors but ultimately it was rider error. I made a mistake.
i have roadraced the past 17 years and the hill climb is one of the coolest events I ever raced.
Here is a pic from the race a fed minutes before the crash.
Is this it?
