Strange how that works, isn't it? Doesn't hurt as much when it happens as it does 10-15 minutes afterwards. The body and mind are amazing things.

Indeed, I actually heard the shoulder pop out of it's sockets and saw the wrist bend and break when I was rolling with the skid.
I reacted to the pain only after it was all over.

I stood up, looked at my jeans and shirt that were torned, looked at my phone that was crushed on the floor and told the lift operator to call 911 and told him I broke an arm, and then I realized I couldnt move my left arm, thats when I told him I also disclocated the shoulder.

I have a small winch in front of the platform of the truck.
I decided to just sit down on top of it and wait for the meatwagon to come and get me.
couldnt do anything anyways.
Then the pain kicked in....

I'm realizing now, by writing about it that this ordeal affected me more than I tought.
Thanks guys for letting me talk, write about it LOL
 
Surgery is on the 3rd? They did a similar surgery on my buddy's wrist, they had to cut some bone pieces and relocate them to other locations where bone was crushed and destroyed, they also had to remove all those crushed splintered bone pieces.... I ws surprised the surgery was a week after the accident but apparently that's not a problem..
again, all the best for your recovery !!!

Well I guess that my rebuild will be waiting for a while.

Tuesday I had an accident at work, I was loading a skid of wire mesh, about 500, 600 lbs, 8ft wide by 12 ft long and when I tried to move one of the blocks that was sideways, the skid suddenly sled off the lift truck.

result? the damn thing fell on me.

I managed to roll on the floor with it as this thing on top of me while was sliding off the truck but the damages were done.

I ended up with a disclocated left shoulder, a crushed right hand and a broken right wrist and a bunch of ninor scratches all over.

Wednesday, they reconnected the shoulder, yeah that was 12 hrs with a disclotated shoulder waiting on a stretcher, luckily they have real potent stuff for pain lol.

I was opreated wednesday morning for my hand, but the swell is too much. They could only put the bones back where they are suppose to be, Next week, when there will be less swelling, they will put some kind of wiring to replace the bunch of ligaments that were tored off.

Last night, they sent me home and I,ll be operated on may 3rd.
The hand is pretty messed up so this will take a while.
Soooooo I guess that I have to put the bike in storage, and put the Vette under wraps for a while huh?
