So, to tell the complete story:
last week, tuesday 2sept, I went to work at my motorbike... but because I can cut off several km's by taking 40meters of bike lane, I always take that short cut.
As I was looking over my shoulder and in the mirror to see if there was any parallel trafic I had to cope with (which would go at 80km/h) I wasn't aware enough (due to signs etc) that some lady in her car came from the other side and turned.
She said she saw me, but didn't think I would drive the way I did... or something...
anyway... I smashed my bike in the front of her car... and flew off, nicely rolling to a stop.
I was just a few meters from bike and car, so I didn't have that much speed...but my leg was quite angled compared to normal... and much much pain....so I knew I broke my leg.
Blabla, hospital, morphine, operation, rod in leg... 2dys after the operation the saw on a recent xray that my hip suddenly had a crack too...so I had to be operated again...that was friday.
When I woke up I had a tube in my back, for the pain, a tube in my hand, for blood and stuff...a tube in my manhood (which I didn't feel because my lower body was quite numb) and a tube in my hip to drain any wound fluids.
pain wasn't really there... got 4ml painkilling stuff automatically every hour.. . combined with some pills.
Now, to be honest, I hate pills and medication and even pain killing... but after a nice painless night I accepted the stuff...but wanted to keep the dose as low as possible....just on the edge of not feeling pain.
They took the drain tube out a few days ago... my wounds heal better every day and it's only the two drain holes which leak a bit... but less everyday.
Last night they took the tube out of my hand, this morning they got the tube out of my spine and luckily, half an hour ago they pulled the tube out of my lovetube... and I still feel it.
Because I didn't shit for a week, I was looking forward to push out a nice big sturdy turd.... but the nurses felt it took too long (haven't tried so what's the problem..) so yesterday I got a klysma... for those who don't know how that goes...
they force (if it isn't forcing, you probably like manflesh in there too, so it was forcing) some sort of nozzle up your ass, and then pump in about half a litre of stuff...
man...it feels so so nasty.... and after that, you don't know what you feel, but you want something under you...and after that, you pump out liquid...
and a few big ones...
anyway...today I got out of bed because I wasn't attached that much to machinery and I took a shower....which was necessary... I smelled worse than a skunk and if I scratched my nuts stuff was coming loose... so don't stay in bed for a week.
Just went a few yards on the hallway with walking aides (don't know how they're called... just metal rods... like canes...) and they told me if I could walk the stairs (yeah, dizzy and with those canes ) I can go home
so if I'm lucky, this week I can go home again... not that I can do much there... but at least my girl can feast on me again and I litterally aint have to do jack.
so i'm recovering quite fast  _________________ "Rule: Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun." (C. Bell)

Martijnus sorry that happened to you! Ouch. But I'm glad you're better.
That morphine is rough stuff. Any hallucinations?
Glad you can scratch your nuts now without fallout!

Sorry to hear that you were injured, hope you have a speedy recovery.
Reminds me of after I had my achilles surgery, I was pumped full of fluids but wasn't able to pee after the surgery due to the pain medicine, however I later woke up in wet boxers and the nice nurse lady had to help me change haha... _________________ [This Space For Rent] |

my bike's back home.... dad took some pics... has some damage though front fork warped, front fender shattered... some dent's in the fuel tank.
one dent was at the back...exactly where my balls were....so I've made a huge dent in the tank with my balls of steel.
Now since my balls aren't actually made of steel, I'm quite worried that something is damaged... had some pain in that area anyhow, but while I was sedated I didn't feel much.
Yesterday I found a nice internal bleeding...blue/purple spot on my groin and everytime it gets hard, it stings somewhere... and it gets hard a significant amount of time every night
I don't care much about the leg and the bike...but I sure hope the reproductive stuff isn't damaged. haven't mentioned it to the personnel but as soon as someone walks in here I'll explain the matter... maybe they need a sample of some kind and suddenly I can't reach it anymore... " hey it's my job". well it's a job alright..
morphine was just a few days, haven't had hallucinations but it was fun
made some pics of the wounds and stitches (staples) so I'll up them when I get home. _________________ "Rule: Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun." (C. Bell)
