Title: x-rays of injuries Post by: Moose on January 29, 2006, 08:20:34 PM 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. [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Moose on January 29, 2006, 08:22:04 PM The little circle looking bands are the staples.

Yeah what he said. You are one tough man Moose. I have no clue how you kept your cool and weren't screaming. Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Moose on January 29, 2006, 09:34:37 PM 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. Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: bigscrub79 on January 29, 2006, 09:43:36 PM how much longer until you can ride?
Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Moose on January 29, 2006, 10:12:26 PM 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.
Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: qt314nfla on January 29, 2006, 10:13:13 PM I rode w/ your friend today. We missed you.
Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: 2006YFZ450 on January 30, 2006, 05:51:32 AM Ouch that must of hurt :o
Hope you get better soon and back riding ;) Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Sweet Z on January 30, 2006, 10:13:42 AM That looks like it was fun.
Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: DjLeOo on January 30, 2006, 10:47:02 AM How did it happen ?? what quad were you on ??
Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Moose on January 30, 2006, 01:53:06 PM 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.
Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: qt314nfla on January 30, 2006, 02:41:01 PM 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.

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.Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: enniehall on January 30, 2006, 02:58:15 PM 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.

can you still use ur throttle if so then you can ride lol Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: svtbolt04 on January 30, 2006, 06:12:23 PM 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? Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Moose on January 30, 2006, 07:29:39 PM 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.
Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: 400EX on January 30, 2006, 09:26:40 PM 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.

Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Moose on January 31, 2006, 08:33:47 PM 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 ? Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Chuck_Norris on February 01, 2006, 08:06:28 AM 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 magicI had no idea this is what you went through, I feel for ya now. Is your shoulder giving you any trouble ? Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Ida_Mann on February 01, 2006, 10:18:13 AM it's be a good story to tell the airport screaners ;-)
Id@ Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: SWAMP_DONKEY on February 01, 2006, 12:20:05 PM You should try to keep your jewlery on the outside ;D
Glad to hear you are doin better!! Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: caospop on February 01, 2006, 10:54:46 PM Damn Moose im sorry to hear about your injuries. I hope your gonna get better soon.
Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Moose on May 05, 2006, 11:18:27 PM 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. Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: renmus on May 05, 2006, 11:20:28 PM I was wondering why I had not seen your name pop up for a day or so. So sorry to hear of the problem. ??? :o

dangit man, would ya take it easy? Id@ Title: Re: x-rays of injuries Post by: Moose on May 18, 2006, 05:16:12 PM 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. [attachment deleted by admin] |
