Thanks
Hey everyone, thank you so much for the compliments... I haven't been on here since the 25th of August, and for good reason...
The exact same day I joined this site and posted the guide I went out riding my motorcycle with a friend. After accelerating to 35-40 mph from a stoplight, a WOMAN on her CELL PHONE, and EATING ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of me. I had roughly ten feet to respond, and needless to say, I didn't get a chance to squeeze the brakes.
She was driving a Honda Element. My helmet smashed a hole in her window, and I bounced off of her vehicle.
I broke the radius and ulna in my left arm into 14 pieces. My left elbow was completely dislocated. I also broke the humerus in my right arm completely in half.
I have screws and steel plates in both arms. I have lost all feeling in my left thumb, index and ring finger. (It's slowly coming back, though...)
I've been told I will probably need several more surgeries just to restore my left elbow back to proper working order. I can't bend it more than about halfway right now.
I fly r.c. helicopters, and I've been playing guitar for 20 years. I can't do either of those things now, and may not for some time. And to make all of this even worse, I couldn't play with my PSP for the first week in the hospital!!! :roll:
Typing is decent. I've gotten a lot quicker.
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know what happened, and why I only had 1 post here... And thanks to the mods for making this a sticky.
I'm still available live on YIM and AIM most evenings, so if anyone needs help don't hesitate to IM me.
