I know this wasn't me but I can't imagine this pain. While my wife was in college she was walking down a set of outside cement steps and tripped. On the way down she managed to break both of her ankles one in two places. At the bottom of the steps people gathered around to help but she was so embarrassed she said she was ok and got up and managed to walk to her car across campus then drove herself to the emergency room in her manual transmissioned car.
I can't imagine how that felt. She still gets anxiety attacks when the ground is uneven or slippery.

last winter, had a fairly significant work injury. took a fall. not a very big fall, but a very unfortunate one. imagine a 2x4 staked into the gound across a hole as a template for rebar placement while pouring footer.. anyways, took a slight fall straddling that 2x4, also right onto the steel stake(luckily only sticking about 2 inches above the 2x4) @$$hole first. lucked out that it was only a 1 inch deep hole about an inch to the left of my @$$hole(i've been told a million times how lucky i was, and how much worse it could've been had there been rectal penetration), combined with insane taint, prostate and genital swelling from landing straddling the 2x4. couldn't walk at all for about 6 hours, couldn't walk right for about a week+. painful urination for about a week. #2's were also not much fun with the hole being that close to (well) the hole. not to mention numerous probings and 1 colonoscopy while in the hospital.. also keep in mind that I refuse to take painkillers. beyond what was in the iv in the ambulance(i believe it began with a d).. whatever that was, was really damn good though.. Luckily, I've got a good sense of humor...

first day back at work, our one excavator said "hey, you can take 2 d***s now". my simple reply was "who said I couldn't take 2 before?". Gotta love jobsite locker-room humor...

Me and a friend were racing (motorcycle) down a highway about 145 mph.. I turn came up and I went into it to damn fast and spinned out. Broke my leg and nearly my face. I spun into a fence. I had no idea a broke my leg. I tried to walk it off and my leg didn't work. So I ended up hopping on one leg. After the adrenaline ran out, then the pain began.

I was an hour and half from a hospital. Very painful.. I went into surgery that night to repair my injury.

This is a similar.

Sorry to hear about the crash, they suck.

What size/year was your bike? I have an old 93 ZX-6 Buzz Lightyear in color.

1991 ZX7R.. I was a big Doug Chandler fan. He lives down the road in Salinas. He's very cool. He owns a pedal bike shop.
