Just back from A&E

Wishing you a speedy recovery

I throw up violently if I take morphine. I discovered this after a Hernia operation and nearly burst my stitches.

Shame.

I spent about 3 weeks off my head on it. Quite good actually as those 3 weeks passed quickly and I didn't really care that I was nearly in intensive care (docs came to me. Its a bit strong if you need to be out of bed)

 

[numbnuts]

OUCH get well soon

Sorry to hear about this, also sorry to hear it took another cyclist to recognise that you may have required a bit of help. Shame on those who passed you and get well soon.

It's funny how you take the simplest tasks for granted when you have full mobility. And here comes my next test: I need to go for a pee!

You know that you are on your own with that one.

What made me laugh about the guy who stopped was that he showed every concern for the bike and none for me. We're a weird bunch.

My wife's wishing she hadn't chosen today to work from home!

That's rubbish. Hope you GWS and have a speedy recovery

 

[raleighnut]

GWS. Peeing may not be your only problem once the meds take effect.

Looking forward to seeing the video of your crash. It could become a Youtube sensation.

Oh dear, how familiar all this sounds. Having done the same in August I'll say:

1 - The jury is still out on whether ibuprofen hinders recovery by suppressing the body's natural response to a break, which is local bleeding (explains the hot). The clot of blood forms into a callus, which forms into bone. After my plating op 3 months ago I did not take ibuprofen, I stuck with paracetamol.

2 - Codeine is horrible, your friend is paracetamol, take 1 gm every five hours and don't allow the level to drop. Keep a log to help you remember.

3 - If after a week the ends of the bone have not met up, get it plated because they ain't going to meet no matter how gung-ho your orthopedic surgeon. The longer you leave it the more the bone ends will go to sleep and be difficult to re-start.

Bad luck, I know exactly how you are feeling now. Read my post in Health for my experience: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/anybody-had-a-broken-collar-bone-that-wouldnt-knit.241484/

You have my sympathy..
Very painful injury that one.

If it's not being plated you will be off the bike for a while.. Go real steady for a bit

Oh one other thing: get a proper sling for your arm. The band thingy they make up at A&E is useless.

You need this: get the XL size, which is right for normal people.
