Title: out of commission for a while
Post by: Ducky123 on July 21, 2018, 01:47:06 PM: Hey guys, I'm taking a vacation

~~To the hospital~~ :sducky

Was riding the bike yesterday but I fell and broke both ellbows and my nose. Ellbows will need to undergo surgery.

It didn't seem too bad at first but when I realized that my arm movement was somehow obstricted, I knew something was off so I went to the hospital this morning and... they liked me apparently because they gave me a free room haha.

Joking aside, I can't move my arms until surgery (just about enough to type this and do some easy things on my laptop) so I'll probably be a silent observer until they fix my ellbows, just a heads up :^^spike

I am not feeling much pain now that they tend to my injuries but bare everyday things like eating and drinking are a real challenge now...

Get better as soon as possible! (actually no. There's no need in rush during serious operations :neutral Let you be just good) Hope you will not feel uncomfortable after operation!

I know we haven't spoken to each other in quite some time, but I sure hope you can recover from this ordeal fairly quickly...or however long you have to take. Until then, we're all thinking of you. ;)

Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery. ;)

Surgery will be at some point today. According to the doc I'll be able to use my arms with little obstacles after surgery however I can't put a lot of pressure on my ellbows for a while.

Could have been a whole lot worse if I'd fallen differently so I won't complain :)

Post by: Sneak on July 24, 2018, 06:41:12 AM: Good luck!

Can I ask, how did it happen? I mean, reason why you fell from bike?
and "bike" here is bicycle or motorcycle? ;)

Post by: Ducky123 on July 26, 2018, 04:00:13 AM: Surgery indeed went well and now that they've taken off the bandages I can move my arms pretty good already. Typing stuff is no longer a challenge haha.

@Sneak I was bicycling on an unpaved forest path going downhill fast. When I drove into a little hole on the road, it catapulted me from my bicycle onto the ground hard and it seems that I took the first hit with my elbows :P

I took a short moment to calm down and wait for the bleeding to stop and then I went home by foot :P The other morning went to the hospital to find out they were broken :P But as I said they mended me well here and my arm mobility has REALLY improved and is now at 70-90% I'd say. It's not certain yet if I'll retain 100% on my left elbow (the rotation movement might remain a little restricted) but I'm moving it around as much as I can because that's what I should do in order to make it better according to the doc :P
