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.....

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?

Alp · « **Reply #15 on:** May 13, 2010, 03:37:17 PM »

back home now with a little extra hardware! All things seemed to go well. Oxycontins work too well, will just stick to Tylenol #3.
