So. Pavement is stronger than human mean and bone. Now we know for sure.
*Someone* might have fallen off his bike and turned his wrist to mush and bone dust.
This guy took a flip over the handlebars when confronted with a streetcar track on his way to work. I was unaware for hours and hours he was at the hospital!!
After his trip to a few emergency rooms, and surgery to fix him up, he is new and improved with metal parts.
Hospitals are scary and weird. I wasn't too helpful as the unhurt party, as I am a hardcore fainter, who can't seem to keep conscious in the same building as a band-aid. I actually had to sit n the floor with my head between my knees at times. SIGH. Been that way my whole life, gotta deal.
So now the surgery is done, he is on the mend, and I am playing nurse. It doesn't come easy to me, I am kind of a mean nurse actually. So my shop and creations are on hold for just a little while. But I am sure once the arm heals a bit it will be back to business as usual.
He is doing well and I am doing well and even though I have to do the dishes for 6 weeks, its still kind of fun to have a cyborg around. Yay for science!
P.S. We are both buying bike helmets. :-) Lesson learned!
Oh snap! Hope the healing process is quick!
ReplyDeletePoor guy. I'll see you Saturday night. We'll nurse that dude of yours better!
