Been outa paintball for past 6 months do to injuries mainly to my left leg incurred in a motorcycle accident in September (lady did not see me and literally turned and drove into my left side).

Open compound fracture of both shin bones with ALOT of torn tissue (leg was barely attached).
That was repaired in hospital in two surgeries were they put a rod in from knee to ankle with four screws attaching it. But there was not enuff tissue left to close the wound so it was left open to pack daily until enuff tissue could grow to close the wound.
Had a battle with infection for months and another surgery was scheduled and performed to cut out infected area and attempt to close the wound.

Things started to get better and I was even able to start walking even drove my truck again (stick shift) for first time in months. Was doing physio to get stronger again twice a wek

Then few days ago I started feeling ALOT of pain in my left leg. I went seen docs they said I was fine told to take some pain meds. Got even worse and very red. Went back to docs they said come back see the surgeon of the 4th aka tomorrow. But before that I was sitting in my chair with my leg up the pain was getting worse and literally I watched as my leg could no longer contain the swelling and split open under the strain. Again I was taken to ER by family ad seen by docs. I told the infection is back in a BAD way the steel in my leg is harbouring the bacteria that keeps causing me grief and the decision was made yesterday day to go in and operate on my leg to remove the steel from my leg and start over by basically glueing my bones togeather. I will be put in a cast now and my revovery time can be anything from 6 months now up too 2 years.

It's incredibly disheartening and angering to finally see the light and now to be taken back to the start of this fight. But still I guess I must be happy to at least still have my life and leg.

I was hoping and trying to get strong enuff to play the Canadian carnage game this July but thinking that's a long shoot at best now along with ALOT of my plans. And been really pissed off at the miss fortune.

Ouch...comments show no mercy

I'm sure everybody's been saying this but it'll get better! I know what you're going through (to a pretty far extent) and its horrible, but with good friends and family you'll make it through! It's an extremely long and tough road to get down but you'll make it. Take care man!

You can always go and chill at the field. I know I would. Such a relaxed atmosphere.

[TinyBear]

Thanx guy with a question and others for a laugh. And I will be at canadian carnage this year even if just to support my sister by cleaning her gear and such.

Filling pods is always helpful as well.

That sucks man, in all honesty, wishing you a quick and painless recovery.

[TinyBear]

Thanx all for the well wishes. I still fighting the good fight have had 4 surgeries with one possibly to come. I'm in a cast with a IV line to my Heart to fight the bone infection been hooked up to it now for 7 weeks. But other than that I'm in a cast and working towards getting more mobile. Not allowed to use crutches due to the style IV I have so move around with a walker (I be well practiced for when I'm old and grey lol).

But for those wanting to see pics of the bike and such I finally was able to get to my computer.

Keep in mind this if after the tow truck pulled the forks out enuff to move the bike


Still not sure how the tank got dented on the top


My mangled left leg after being bandaged


X RAY of the break after the emerg doc pushed bones back in leg and wrapped it.


Post second surgery X RAY. The metal has since all been removed due for X-rays again on Monday.


Rest pics are a bit gory and I don't think I should post them.

I sort of want to see them but get better!

[Panda Man]

Holy crap man!

when your leg heals, go to the lady's house($100 says you can find her on Facebook) ask her for her most Valued posestion, then take a shit on it and throw it in the neighbors window.

[Steephill]

OUCH! That first Xray looks painful. At least you're alive after that crash though. Good luck recovering.
