Off this morning

[AdamBlade]

Had a great commute to work this morning. Downhill to turn right at crossroads, bike wheels went from underneath me as i started to turn. Road rash down right hand side, bruised jaw where bike hit me and dislocated fracture of left thumb . Now got leftarm in plaster and waiting phone call tomorrow to see if I need op to wire or plate it. I don' think I'll be sleeping much tonight

Jesus - hope it's not bad enough to need the metal Adam.

Ibuprofen is good stuff for the bruising - get well soon!

 

[HLaB]

Ouch Adam, lets hope for the best.

Bad luck there mate! What was it? Diesel on road? Taking the corner too fast?

 

[goo_mason]

Ow ow ow.... sorry to hear that, Adam. Sounds nasty.

Hope you're on the mend soon.

 

[fossyant]

Ouch...you'll need a turbo..... but watch out, plaster casts get manky if you exercise with them - and that was only in a few weeks with me....

Ohh you'll have to be careful climbing once the thumb heals... gonna loose some strength in it...nasty.... (I lost loads of strength when I broke a small bone in my hand)... painful for ages....

PS How's the bike !!!!

Don't have a general anaesthetic - go for a nerve block instead.

Convince them you do physio and they'll try to avoid the metal plate.

All the best

Commiserations, Adam. I had a similar problem 3 weeks ago - broken left thumb too. I was 'lucky' and the break is above the joint, so no need for pinning. Mine hurt like blazes at the time, so I can imagine how much worse yours must be. I was 'on the hoods' at the time - how about you?

 

[Stig-OT-Dump]

Sympathies, hope you have a quick recovery.

Cheers mate, yes it bloody hurts. Got mtb so think it maybe handlebar that bent it back. Mine is just above joint but was a clean break. top half of bone was pushed over to one side on x-ray.

Diesel I think but can't be sure. May have been taking it a little fast aswell

Nasty, hope recovery is quick and the pain limited or well controlled.
