| ![]() I met with an accident earlier this year. February 24, 2011. Lucky to be alive. But not lucky enough to make it without pain. 2 days in the icu, 7 days in the hospital, right femur broken into 6 pieces (now kept together with a tiatanium rod and umpty no. of nails), an open forehead (no internal injuries), a grave wound on my left knee. I have been on bed for the last 3.5 months. Now I am walking on crutches and really miss walking, running cycling and other basic things that represented me. ![]() EDIT: Follow up post with more details here on page 2 What I learned from the accident here on page 4 Last edited by GTO : 4th August 2012 at 18:51.

you were basically sitting AT the spot where the apocalypse hit that 800!! Recover well, buddy. At least the worst is behind you, now it'll be the physio. thats painful in its own right, but more on the mental level, what my gym instructor called "meetha dard". | |

Why do you say so? This is not a court-room. We are all friends and well-wishers. | |

I also wish you a fast recovery both physically and mentally. Migrate to a more safe and robust car since the road conditions and traffic are becoming worse day by day and we cannot avoid travelling... |

OMG, thats a very bad crash. I am haapy to learn that you came out of that accident without any permanent injuries. I am sure you will be completely recovered soon and be back with your running and cycling. I know these are difficult times for you but just be strong and you will get back well soon. | |

I survived pretty much the exact same accident back in 2003, when I put my Zen into a tree. Same injury - right femur fracture. Same treatment - titanium rod in leg and nails. | |
