June 10th

Posted on June 12, 2013

Well, the mountain biking is going to take a break for a while. Fractured and dislocated my wrist at Duthie Hill coming about twice the intended speed off a rather large jump. Four people helped me out to my car and got my bike loaded up, and I drove myself home and my parents and I went directly to the ER.

Pain slowly but surely jacked up from around 3/10 when we arrived at about 6pm, to an absolutely unbearable 9/10, as the fractured bones were crushing the nerves in my hand and cutting off circulation to my fingers. Around that point I was sedated with Propofol and Ketamine (Google them), and traction was applied to my  hand and wrist to pull the bones back into place. Propofol is some incredible stuff, I was tripping HARD (like, think time travel scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey) for about an hour.

Slowly came down for the next four hours and went home without a shirt on and clutching a sickness bag full of my own vomit.

Oh, and hand surgery tomorrow.
