A year ago I woke up in the ICU with 7 broken bones

submitted by con77 to WhiteBoySummer 1 weekOct 1, 2024 17:00:14 ago (+16/-1)     (WhiteBoySummer)

Today I rode my Harley! Thank You God and my Guardian Angel. It could have easily been worse. I wasnt wearing a helmet and bounced off my head 3x as I tumbled down the street! Not a scratch on my head.

FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER.

I refuse to live in fear.

This is why I refuse to fall asleep in a ICU.

Fckers wouldn't let me sleep when i was in the high dependency unit for a TBI, they keep coming in all the damn time and waking me up to continually check on me, annoying ain't the word.

That sounds pretty irritating.
They put me in a "coma" when that happened to me, but I could feel and hear everything going on. Some coma. They put me in... something, a cat scan probably. The tube thing that did my breathing pulled out more and more the further I went into the machine.
Fun!

Was that before or after the "heroes" and TikTok dancing nurses?

Several decades before all that.

Damn...the "should have known better" era.

I literally got hit by a truck. But yeah.

[ - ] bobdole9 2 points 1 weekOct 2, 2024 14:41:11 ago (+2/-0)

I'm saying "doctors should have known better with the tubes"...though A+ if that truck hit you on a sidewalk!

[ - ] lord_nougat 2 points 1 weekOct 3, 2024 02:59:30 ago (+2/-0)

Lol, well I did end up near the sidewalk...
I think maybe one of my shoes made it there. Who knows, those were gone when I came around. Pity, I am pretty sure they were a pair of pretty bitchen leopard fur topped creepers. And they cut my brand new leather jacket and a really nice new tie off of me, which I was pretty annoyed about when I found out.

I was there for a week. probably didnt sleep for the first 3 days.

[ - ] dosvydanya_freedomz 3 points 1 weekOct 1, 2024 17:58:17 ago (+3/-0)

the night i was diagnosed with sepsis i didnt sleep the entire night either. i knew that if i did it was going to be over for me. so i stood awaken receiving antibiotics thru the iv and this was the night of the gay bar massacre in orlando. i remenber because i saw the news the next day while digesting some breakfast.

i was always asking the nurse what the hell she was pumping in to the iv's. she would reply to me a cocktail of antibiotics which btw i had to keep on taking post discharge because my blood acidosis was through the roof literally

the weirdest part was that there was an older man alongside my bed that was obviously in worse condition than me and the wifey tried to cheer him up by talking sexual stuff to him that we all could hear.... 🤮

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 4 points 1 weekOct 1, 2024 18:13:45 ago (+4/-0)

Sepsis is some serious shit.

[ - ] Sector2 4 points 1 weekOct 1, 2024 19:45:46 ago (+4/-0)

So is that sexual stuff.

[ - ] dosvydanya_freedomz 3 points 1 weekOct 1, 2024 21:23:58 ago (+3/-0)

if i had waited just one more day without treatment i would have been gone. my mother also got it because a stone got stuck in to her kidneys and it caused an infection that by the time she knew she had it she was already unconscious. thanks to my sister and prayers from many my mother didnt saw death

funny thing is that, for all near death experiences that you hear or see on the internet. my mother didnt saw any light, spirits, dimensional doors or any of that crap. she was out of it, no awareness whatsoever.

it was so bad that she was told that a nurse made the sign of the cross when she saw her there lying on her bed in coma. i thank God that i still have her with me.

after the event she had to wear a sonde in order to pee and for the stone to be able to pass thru there. she was really in serious condition.

me i never loss consciousness whatsoever. my blood specialist told me that i shouldnt be alive by the high levels of acidosis on my blood. yes it was discomposing and i was still alive. the antibiotics, man

that stuff of miracles. if you ever feel disoriented, with high fever, coughing till no end, constant shills and a feeling that something is wrong? run to the nearest hospital ASAP

the parting gift that this shit gave me was that bronchia got damaged, sometimes i have to use an inhalator to properly breathe and when i eat cold stuff i begin to cough immediately

fuck sepsis!

Congratulations Con, I've had 9 bike accidents in my life of riding, none my fault, but I can state this, I've got more miles without a helmet on a bike than I do with...even here in Kanastan with mandatory lid law I go without when on the highway, I've only been charged once and it cost me $75.00...big deal.
Point of interest...I was on I90 near Chamberlain SD and a guy on a Goldthing passed me, he had to be doing 100mph because I was cruising at 85, he went into a wobble and his bike went into cartwheel mode, good thing for the easy slope between the opposite lanes, he went airborne but got up with only a wicked scrape on his arm, and no helmet.

now thats a miracle!

My bones ache every time I read a Con thread. Ouch.

Con, please leave her bones alone, you perv!

I got a bone for her!

If you ride a bikehard enough you'll have an accident ,if you have enough accidents you'll have serious one and if you have enough serious accidents ...

Ride safe and dont trust other vehicles to do the righty by you .

The problem with motorbikes is that they share roads with non motorbikes.

[ - ] dass 1 point 1 weekOct 2, 2024 00:41:09 ago (+1/-0)

Not if you use the median grass strip and foot paths. /lol

Haaa! I read those books 20 years ago

[ - ] mannerbund 3 points 1 weekOct 1, 2024 19:15:28 ago (+3/-0)

I'd wear a helmet. I've "woken" up later that day or the next day a few times after hits to the head with a helmet that would have crushed me otherwise. Its always a weird experience when your capacity to write new memories resumes and you suddenly realize you've been asking the same dumb questions over and over.

Luckily I had fiberglass helmets that crush on impact and not the plastic ones that rattle your brain.

Don't live in fear, and don't give up riding, but be reasonably safe.

[ - ] Sector2 4 points 1 weekOct 1, 2024 19:53:57 ago (+4/-0)

You can't be reasonably safe if you ride on public streets and highways. You're invisible to a significant percentage of drivers, and you lack a cage to absorb the damage.

There are some gnarly compilations on Watch People Die. To be fair, a lot of cycle deaths and part deletions are their own fault.

[ - ] mannerbund 0 points 1 weekOct 2, 2024 10:20:25 ago (+0/-0)

Reasonably safe would be things like: riding defensively, assuming others are going to not see you and take actions you see fit to minimize inevitable harm, wearing proper body armor (damage mitigation).

Yeah, you are not as safe as in a car, but there are definitely ways to improve your odds of survival.

My Harley buddy died from cracking his skull on the road but at least he didn’t go out like a fucking faggot! Rest in peace, Bubba! 1960-2017

You're damn lucky. i know a couple who wasn't so lucky. My wife's aunt wrecked without a helmet and she hit a pothole and she wiped out hitting her head on the road at 70mph. They never expected her to live. That was three years ago and now she lives with brain damage. She can barely walk and she can't control her emotions(frontal lobe damage). Then her husband died of cancer.

Has that "at least it can't get any worse" vibe.

[ - ] Niggly_Puff 2 points 1 weekOct 1, 2024 18:04:14 ago (+2/-0)

I remember that. Glad you're doing well 👍

[ - ] con77 [op] 0 points 1 weekOct 1, 2024 20:32:44 ago (+0/-0)

Thanks

[ - ] GodDoesNotExist 1 point 1 weekOct 1, 2024 23:37:04 ago (+1/-0)

Why do you thank god for your recovery but don't blame him for the accident in the first place ?

[ - ] con77 [op] 0 points 1 weekOct 2, 2024 00:50:18 ago (+0/-0)

Because I have free will

[ - ] GodDoesNotExist 0 points 1 weekOct 2, 2024 09:47:06 ago (+0/-0)

so you dont have free will to heal when you're in the hospital? god has to do that for you but cant protect you from an accident? sounds counterproductive

Wow! Are you an attorney?

GOD PROTECTS HIS FLOCK!!! A PAGAN FAGGOT LIKE MASTER FED WOULD HAVE DIED IF HE WERE IN YOUR PLACE AND BE BURNING IN THE FIRES OF HELL WHERE THAT JEW FAGGOT BELONGS!!! GOD BLESS!!!

Bro o have a similar story, except i was on my DR 650 riding home from the grocery store. Then I opened my eyes and I was being wheeled into emergency surgery with 17 broken bones and a nurse asking me for emergency contact info cuz a car had Tboned me.

Then march this year I broke my femur again except this time it was my fault being the daredevil I am.

Im slowly building an immunity to broken bones.
