jcscoob Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) As some of you may know, 8 weeks ago i had a wee accident with the results of a motorbike type accident but on a skateboard,(sk8ordie). To cut a long story short i was going very fast/flying along the top of a high'ish ramp and had to jump over some idiot going the wrong way , landed/splatted of the ground/concrete on my hands and shock waved my whole arms (ie smashed both of them to pieces), result - full casts !! Everything has been healing well apart from the left elbow, so i went in for the finale check today, result - back in tomorrow at 8am for a nice new shiny titanium elbow and some funky wiring in my wrist, so i am going to have to get the knapsack packed for a wee sleepover -_- . A wee bit scared but im sure/hope i will be in safe hands . Edited April 15, 2008 by Jcscoob Link to comment
