Decided to celebrate my birthday Sat with a trip to the Emergency Ward at VGH! I don't remember much about the bike accident but have a few reminders: broken clavicle, broken scapula, 7 broken ribs, punctured lung (partially collasped), possible small fracture C-1 vertebrae, concussion (out cold for 15+ minutes). During the hospital stay they did a Cat Scan but no x-rays. Went to my GP yesterday and he wanted pictures since he didn't like the way my shoulder looked. So today I found out that I have a nasty broken clavicle with two large bone spurs (will try to post pics/x-rays later). The bones are no where close to each other and it looks like I am going to be someones' dissection project sooner than later. Oh well there goes work for the summer.....

Damn Alp, sorry to hear that! although I guess it could have ended even worse, get well soon.

I've talked to Alp a couple of times about this, and he has no idea what happened. I suspect he was hit from the side or behind, otherwise he'd have recollection of a car coming at him.
The strange thing is that the stupid VPD say they have no record of the incident. Wonder who called the ambulance then? Tow truck?
-
back home now with a little extra hardware! All things seemed to go well. Oxycontins work too well, will just stick to Tylenol #3.

Kirin can interpret....

Just curious Alp were you on your SM? Your injuries are pretty gnarly but it could be worse. Hope whoever hit you gets brought to justice.....
-
yes. There is no evidence anyone hit me yet as there is no MVA report or Police dispatch/records
-
so as of Thursday I put some weight on. A few grams of S/S screws and a rod in the clavicle area. The jagged incision should give me great evidence for fantastic stories with the ladies!
