madmanic Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 finally the snow and ice has gone. got some new tyres, freewheel, pedals and cranks ready for alot of riding in spring but on friday 14th while at work i managed to smash my knee into the corner of a brick wall. was very painful especially when i saw the blood pumpig through my pants. rolled up my pants leg to reveal a large hole in my leg with what looked like some tissue bits sticking out. anyway after a quick ride to hospital in an ambulance and various doctors stick there fingers in the hole and feeling around they decided i need an op. the op was origianlly just to wash the wound properly to make sure there are no bits of brick left in. this invloved slitting my knee all the way across and peeling the skin back, when they did this apparntly a piece of my thigh muscle was flapping around. the brick had made a neat slice straight through the muscle connecting to my knee. not sure how long it is going to take to heal but i now have my leg in a splint for at least to weeks to stop the muscle ripping again. only picture i managed to take is below. this was before the adrenaline wore off and the pain kicked in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanic Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 wasnt on my bike. was getting close to going home and still had loads to do so instead of walking round the wall i went to jump it. but was slightly to close. lifted my right leg and pushed with my left but because i was to close i hit the wall instead of clearing it. would of been ok if i had hit the flat edge but i hit the corner point so it just went straight in ad the 3 flat edges just acted likes knives slicing throught flesh, muscle and tendons lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
