x-rays of injuries

[Moose]

Took these with my camera phone while at the Dr's. last Wed. Shows repaired collar bone, steel rod with eight screws, and five broken ribs, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8.

Anyone else have any, show'em.

D@MN, that must hurt!

[gery350]

breathing must have been a beeatch.

[Bigscrb15]

wow, I knew you were hurtin but you sure did handle that well! I woulda never guessed it woulda been that bad.

[qt314nfla]

Yeah what he said.  You are one tough man Moose.  I have no clue how you kept your cool and weren't screaming.

[Moose]

Well I don't know about being any tougher than the next guy, but I wasn't about to post pics of the bruises I got. Don't want to get the ladies excited, yea I wish. But the worst bruises I have ever had I tell ya.

Thanks for all the good words from you all, I'm doing much better now. I want to go ride real bad, so I must feel better.

[bigscrub79]

how much longer until you can ride?

[Moose]

3 weeks until I see the Dr. again, so longer than that. Had to let a friend ride my quad today just to keep the oil circulated once in a while. I'm going to take lil moose to RR the 10th, I have to let him ride. I'll just ride around in my truck and take pics, look out you all.

[qt314nfla]

I rode w/ your friend today.  We missed you.

[2006YFZ450]

Ouch that must of hurt

Hope you get better soon and back riding

[Sweet Z]

That looks like it was fun.

[DjLeOo]

How did it happen ?? what quad were you on ??

[Moose]

Parents, show your kids this, tell them this is what can happen even if you think you are being careful. I thought I was being careful, but I missed that steep incline on the right side, hit it and the foreman rolled to the left real hard and fast. Slammed me to the ground, good thing it was soft dirt. Ruined my weekend, and the rest of the day for those that helped me out. So the costs can be more than money.

[qt314nfla]

I was right behind him and he was in 1-2 on a ute which means less than 10mph.  It was really a freak accident because Moose has made the manuver that caused his accident many times w/o incident.  A chest protector would have prevented all his injuries.

Moose, you didn't ruin my weekend.  I was just worried about you.  I'm sure it changed lil' Moose out look on things.  If he would have seen how slow you were moving and that it shouldn't have happened you'd probably have a kid that was begging for gear when he rides.

I'm glad things are getting better.

You didnt ruin our day. It was our pleasure to help out, but knowing what we know now we would have taken you to winter haven hospital or heart of florida.

" 'cause the chicks dig it"

[96 warrior]

those are some crazy picture
can you still use ur throttle if so then you can ride lol

[svtbolt04]

I got a question man


How do they put the rod in? Splice you open and insert? then drill some screws to hold your colar bone together?

[Moose]

YUP, that's about it. The screws go into the two pieces of bone to hold them untill they heal. Will stay in me from now on.

[400EX]

hey moose i know how ya feel man... i got a plate and six screws in my collar bone too. the only bad thing about it is in the mornings if its cold it wants to freeze up a little bit... i think i'm gonna try and invent a greasing hole soo i can spray some wd40 in there when its stiff. good luck and hope u get back to riding soon.

[4fittyr]

trophies like those r priceless dont hurt til thr bone show

[Chuck_Norris]

that is oh to familiar, hope your doing well brother

[Moose]

Yea, thanks man, just a few weeks and I'll be riding.

I had no idea this is what you went through, I feel for ya now. Is your shoulder giving you any trouble ?

[Chuck_Norris]

Yea, thanks man, just a few weeks and I'll be riding.

Every so often if I lay on it wrong, but then again the Doc wanted to go in and re break mine and I opted not to have it done. kind a said just wait until I break it again and then you can work your magic

[Ida_Mann]

it's be a good story to tell the airport screaners ;-)

Id@

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

You should try to keep your jewlery on the outside

      Glad to hear you are doin better!!

[caospop]

Damn Moose im sorry to hear about your injuries. I hope your gonna get better soon.

[Moose]

I can't believe it, but I re-broke my collar bone. I was helping a friend work on a house, and just pushed to hard, and snap. I knew it wasn't good right away. In five minutes it got numb and swelled up to the point I could hardly move my arm.
 The Dr put in a steel plate twice the size of the first one, so I hope this one holds. I'll try to get a pic of it when I see the Dr in two weeks. I'm getting tired of this.

[renmus]

I was wondering why I had not seen your name pop up for a day or so.  So sorry to hear of the problem.      

[53yfz450]

god you must be old j/k that sucks drink more milk.

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

Bionic Bruce!!!

[MuddFreak77]

Moose,
     Sorry to hear you did it again, I feel for ya!!!  Hope this one holds, sounds like they used parts for a quad on a diesel engine.  LOL  Get well soon, looking fwd to riding with you and little moose again.

Freakk

[Moose]

Yep, broke it and the bone again. At least the screws held.

That's the bar you see in the first pic with 8 screws in it.


I will be going camping ASAP, I can hang out and lil moose can still ride.

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

[susieblazer]

[trx-250kid]

CALCIUM BROTHER. It is a good thing. pray'n for ya

[Ida_Mann]

The 6 million dollar Bruce ;-)

dangit man, would ya take it easy?

Id@

[Moose]

I'll be taking it easy for a while longer. The Dr. said 3 more months, I'm not a happy camper. Come on Aug. 18th. 

Let me tell you, listen to the Dr. and get healed before you go back to normal activity. Going through this twice is for the birds.

Here's a pic of the new larger steel bar they put in.
