Gruesome STORY & Photo Thread - NSFW GORE (IGNORE THE KITTY THUMBNAIL)

I need some gore in my life.

*knock on wood*

 

Yes... Thumb from a hatchet, middle finger from a metal chip at work, and hand (into the muscle) from a rusty backing plate for a drum

 

Damn man your hand has been through the trenches.

 

I watched my wife give birth to our son on Saturday. I will never be confident in the bedroom again. Savage

 

Yessir all of those on my left hand lol

 

Shit, sorry Joe. I meant to text you and tell you and forgot. Been a crazy week. Im such a creature of habit and this kid is messing me all up.

 

Deal!

 

Awesome thread. I wish I could post some of the lacerations I've sutured or fractures I've reduced.

 

October 30th, 2015.
Was riding my supermoto, someone made a left through the intersection in front of me. No time to react.

Broken left femur and hip
Broken right femur
Broke right arm (radius and ulna)
Multiple abrasions to my knees
And much more

I was wearing a top of the line Arai helmet, top of the line Sidi boots, high end Alpinestars jacket, and top of the line Dainese gloves. Saved me from more injuries, specifically brain/neck/back.

Three surgeries; one for my legs, one for my arm, and one to insert a catheter/filter into my heart to catch and break up clots.
Got full length titanium rods in both femurs. Two pins holding the right leg together. A pin and a large screw/pin/auger looking thing in my left hip through the femur and rod.
Right arm has a 13cm titanium plate and 7 screws on one bone and an 8cm plate and 7 screws on the other.

Was in a coma and intubated/on a breathing machine for 10 days. Had pneumonia during it all.

26 days in the hospital.

Doctors said I wouldn't walk for 4-6 months. I started walking after 45 days.

I have physical therapy 4 times a week. Getting better everyday.

Oh, and no more bikes for me. My hip and arm won't let me. The supermoto was totaled in the accident and I sold my 1199S Ducati once I got back home.

 

Holy shit man, glad you're alive.

Thanks for sharing your story, that's outta control! Bikes are dangerous machines when other drivers are oblivious to who and what is around them.

 

I'm glad to be alive as well! Could have been much worse. I'll take broken bones over a brain injury any day.

I had my fun on bikes. Lots of miles and got to own and ride quite a few badass machines. I was a pretty decent rider, but as you said, it's other people you have to worry about.

 

Glad you're her to tell us this story.

 

Me too! It's been a rough ride (pun intended) but I'm getting better. I'll never be at 100% again but I'm pushing to get as close as possible.

 

Wow glad you can still walk! Exactly the reason ill never get a motorcycle.. I've seen way to many motorcycle crashes as well (I'm a surgical assistant).

 

It must be an absolute bitch to type TW posts with those hands (and other posters with hand injuries). Pretty slow?

 

I'm happy to be walking too! I accepted the fact that something like this could happen when I started riding. But it sucks that it did, in fact, happen

Pretty shitty, no lie. I'm almost exclusively on the iPhone now cause typing with my thumbs is easier due to less rotation and dexterity with my right wrist/hand

 

Buy that man some gloves!

 

I have 2 pairs! Just don't use them for that kind of work

 

Man thats terrible. MRSA sucks since you can't get rid of it, hoping for the best for you
