And he crashed...

Owoowowoow

Nasty – glad you are still ok enough to be at home and getting on the site. Take it easy next time will ya? Get well.

Wow, that did not sound like a lot of fun. Glad you made it through OK! Hang in there, the worst pain is 2 or 3 days after the crash when everything tightens up. Been there before, after a motorcycle crash. Helmets are your best friends!

Max

Ouch indeed!!!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery

Geeze, JayC..... I am glad that you are technically "OK".
I hope you have a speedy recovery and are back in the saddle again soon!

Sounds pretty nasty. Thank God you had your helmet on. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

ouch! thank God you had a helmet on! Good lesson for all of us. Speedy recovery to you, and I'm glad you feel well enough to be up and on the computer.

Oh man! I'm glad that you're relatively sound after such a crash. Bumps and bruises heal, but you've only got one head.
Rest up, take care, and I'll say a prayer for you!

OUCH! been there, done that but with less severe injuries.
Thank God for helmets.
JayC keep us posted on the follow up Dr. visit.
Hope it's not any worse than the initial diagnosis.

Best wishes and get well soon.

Wow. I'm so glad you are ok! Keep us posted

I'm glad you're okay. It sounds like you could have been hurt much worse.

One of the few times I went mountain biking, it was on a whim. Hubby and I went off the regular trail onto the mountain biking trail. Not having planned on this, I wasn't wearing a helmet. I was very careful and went slow, but managed to rub up against a rock and the bike fell over to the side like it'd been pushed. After Hubby untangled me and the bike, I was left with such a bad deep bruise on my rear that I can still feel the scar tissue. Needless to say, I've never ridden offroad since.

Of course, my misfortune pales in comparison with yours. Again, it's good to know you'll be okay.

Wow JayC, so glad you are ok (relatively). Thank goodness for that helmet. Wishing you a fast recovery!

The good news is if your helmet is less than a year old, the manufacturer will probably replace it for free!

So sorry to learn of your accident. We can all sympathize because we all have feared the same for ourselves. Here's wishing you a speedy, full recovery and a bright future!

Sorry to hear that.
All the best with your recovery!

JayC,

Sorry about your crash, but thank goodness for the helmet or you probably would not even be able to type.

:-(

Hope you get well soon. The good news is that athletes repair quicker than our counterparts.
You'll be up and around before you know it.

Ow! Glad you are okay. Crashes like that are not fun at all.

This brings bad memories. I had a really bad crash about 8 years ago. I wedged the front wheel riding through a broken concrete jumble, and did a pretty nasty endo. I had a helmet on too, which cracked, but definitely saved me from a lot more serious injury. I didn't break anything, but due to landing on the concrete headfirst, I managed to cut my face up pretty bad ( it took 50+ stictches by a plastic surgeon to piece me back together ). Somehow, I managed not to break or sprain anything, just cut up my face.

Stick with the rehab they'll give you, especially on the ankle. The sprain will have stretched ligaments and tendons there, and you will want to make sure that heals strong. ( Playing soccer and lacrosse, I've rolled and sprained my ankles quite a few times ). The ankle circles and such that they'll probably have you do really make a difference in how quickly your regain strength in the joint.

Again, glad to hear you're okay, all things considered.

Damn trees! If it's not the cars or the dogs, now it's the damn trees! If street signs joing this axis of evil, I don't know what I will do, but I can tell you it will be... well..., I don't know what, but something!


Glad your ok!

I'm so glad that you are okay, JayC! I give you my best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery! I hope you are back up and running/riding/swimming very soon! And I hope that you aren't in too much pain in the mean time!

Oh my goodness!!! I'm glad you're no more injured than you are... but..... gosh... I'm also sorry that you must be in pain and that you've got to interrupt your life for your recovery. Please keep us posted about your healing; we're really itnerested!

Andrea

Jay C,O my God! I am so glad you had a helmet on. You've convinced me. I'll never ride without one! God bless you and I'll pray for your speedy recovery. Please take it easy on yourself. Ovetta.

JayC:

What an awful experience. Don't be impatient with your recovery. I've learned from experience if you don't do it right, you could prolong the recovery. God bless and let us know how you're doing.

wow. ouch. the helmet did a good job. if it hadn't cracked in half, it would have been your head. some companies will send you a free or discounted new helmet if you send yours in after a crash. hope you're recovery is quick and easy. hope the ride prior to the crash was fun

Sorry to hear about the crash. Praise God you are OK. I had a motorcycle crash few years back no fun in recovery, but you will be back on track before you know it. I just bought a helmet last week. Quick Recovery
