Par for the course

[PirateJafa]

So whilst in the middle of cooking the daily bacon/crumpet/hashbrown/artery-killing morning feast, I hear a funny noise. I turn around to find a female nagging. I don't know why, I think it comes with the chromosomes. Nonetheless, I take pity and engage the ears.

Apparently she's worried about the way my swollen wrist hasn't gone down. Rubbish, my good lady I say, it's just a flesh wound! However she persists, until she pulls out her ace, and threatens to remove my pantry-grazing privileges. Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I'm half a kilo away from walking around desert tombs in bandages and attacking archaeologists at the best of times, so this presents a real problem for me. So I reluctantly hop on my trusty steed and rock on down to the A&E.

"Sir, the Xray shows you've broken the s-something or another - did this happen today?"
"Nah mate, Friday morning."
"Didn't you notice earlier?"
"Not really - thought it was a bruise."

So they throw a cast over my right arm/wrist and I tootle on home.

I was hardly surprised - as I've got surgery booked in for Thursday to remove all the metalwork and most of the scar tissue out of my left elbow, doing my right arm in really seemed to be about par for the course. :innocent:

Here's hoping I have two functioning arms again soon! :ride:

Heal up quick so you can represent V4's again soon!

[vifferman]

I hope said Nagging female will "look after you" now that both hands are out of action, or are you adept at using your feet?

[bomma]

rolf agree with vifferman, two broken hands makes for a frustrated single person :doh:

Ahhh... the scaphoid...

Oh how they love to break...

[PirateJafa]

Crikey, someone who knows what they're talking about. What the hell are you doing on KB!

But yes, that sounds like the culprit - no idea what it does or how long it takes to heal or anything. I suppose for the amount I paid, I should really have listened to the sawbones. :slap:

[Number One]

Ahhh... the scaphoid...

Oh how they love to break...
AND they are a right bitch when they aren't treated properly so they can heal properly. still have trouble with mine and it was a teeny tiny little break.

Hope you are fully functioning again soon...until then keep up the flexibility training :blip:

[racefactory]

No arms you say? Perfect, now all those beautiful V4 spares are just a sitting duck for me..

Get well soon jaffa.

[Fatt Max]

Blimey, what a shocker....

On a brighter and slightly experimental note, that is a rather evil little break that could render your wrist numb as soon as the cast is off.

My tip is to make use of this numbness. As soon as they whip the cast off, whip out your pudding and give it a pull. Your wrist will be numb so it will feel that someone else is doing it.

Trust me, I am a wanker from way back.....I got caught by the rozzers having a 5 knuckle shuffle at the bus stop when I was 14, never looked back really....I mean, why put a full size poster of Farah Fawcett Majors at a bus stop where adolescent teens hang out, we are bound to do the 5 digit thumper if that is on show, eh boys.....boys......hello...anyone there.....

Get well soon matey potatey

[piston broke]

said female,should be hopeing that you have at least one functioning arm,hand,
or she may have to help out in a way she really has something to nag, (dag),about

Ahhh... the scaphoid...

Not according to Mr Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphoid_bone)...:whistle:

Fortunately, it is relatively difficult to break, but is the most commonly fractured bone in the carpus, particularly because of its unique anatomy and position within the wrist.

[Squiggles]

Ya Poor right wrist, that'll teach you Honda riders for giving the reach around. :lol: Does this mean ill end up with 3 Hondas i dont own in the gargre next week?

[Big Dave]

This is well hard. No quite cutting your own arm off for a dare, but spot-on, Jaffa.

[xwhatsit]

[PirateJafa]

How'd you do it you twit?

Pretty simple really.

Hop on 250cc dirtbike on Friday.
Start felling trees.
Swap bike for a 400cc dirtbike.
Start felling larger trees.
Can't bend wrist? Meh, don't need throttle control on dirtbikes - moar powar! Continue dirtbiking.
Get plastered.
Spend Saturday driving and LANning.
Spend Sunday riding to beaches with mates.
Go to work Sun/Mon nights.
Finally get nagged and ride to A&E where I get shouted at by people with fancy letters after their names.

haha, funny funny. How come chris managed to go into trees as much as you but came out unscathed...you must be WEAK!

Ill have a go on the four hundy...hehe

[pzkpfw]

You were felling trees with the bikes?

[gijoe1313]

I get the feeling that this won't be the end of the shennanigans and exasperation of the local med staff ... "What the? Not again!"

At this stage, wouldn't it be easier to count the unbroken bits you have now in your body? :pinch:

Neva da brain, moar the pain!

[vifferman]

...ride to A&E where I get shouted at by people with fancy letters after their names.
And you would've hit them, right? Except your wrist was kinda bruk.

[more_fasterer]

until she pulls out her ace, and threatens to remove my pantry-grazing privileges.

I first read that as panty grazing priviledges. That'll learn you for going to the A&E instead of Macca's!

[PirateJafa]

Ill have a go on the four hundy...hehe

You were pussying about enough on the 125, ya wimp. At least Banzai had the guts to have a rip on the 250!


You were felling trees with the bikes?

Well... yeah. :shutup:

Would you believe that I'd never broken a bone before I starting riding motorbikes?

And that I'd never been pulled over or ticketed by the blue boys with the disco lights? Got off every time though so far! Hell yeah.


And you would've hit them, right? Except your wrist was kinda bruk.

Heck no. Some of the gals were smoking hot!

You do know the phrase "you break it, you own it", right???

[Ixion]

Alternatively, "you broke it, you fix it". Got a Stanley knife?
