Broke the 3rd bone in the flat of my left foot. Into a soft cast and home. The next evening I was sitting and watching the one-eyed monster when my chest hurt real badly. Went into the bedroom and laid down – was there for over an hour with the most excruciating pain I had ever experienced!!! Got up and had dinner and sat down and it fkn happened again! 45 minutes later I was again chillin in front of the one-eyed monster.
The next morning after being scolded by my bride for being a stubborn SOB, I called a doctor. Chose a heart doctor as that was where the pain was centered. I was advised to get my stinking arse to the hospital ASAP…….when I arrived I rushed into nuclear medicine and had some sort of scan.
From there I went to the doctor’s office where I was greeted by the doctor. He shook my hand and said I was one lucky SOB. He said I was the only one in over in _________ people - when the first blood clot ran up my leg and into my heart and I lived!!! What was even more amazing he said that I was again one in over ________people to live when the second blood clot went up my leg and into my heart? The scan showed that both clots followed the exact same path. He was overwhelmed that I was standing in his office as the odds were not even measureable that I was alive.
That evening I won the lottery twice!!!
My other damages (broken bones) are rather extensive – but damn I love the adrenaline rush of riding my dirt cycle

I didn't get past the first page of this thread after I saw Ridge's post. God damn it Chris! That shit will be in my mind for quite a while!
Broke my Tibia is 7 places and Fibula in 2 places. Almost had my leg amputated. Never take the first doctors opinion. Snowboarding.

Worst moto injury would be the time I crushed my trachea and had a tension pneumothorax. Would have died on the track if the paramedics had been five more minutes out. As it was I spent 8 days intubated and a few more still in the ICU.
Another paper cut compared to Ridge's. This one is recent though, 4 weeks today. I was hopeful they could fix the middle finger, but there was no bone anymore from the first knuckle down, saw turned it to shrapnel.
Me? I can't really complain compared to Chris, but I did my right clavicle twice, both wrists, 4 ribs, my right humorous, both ACL's, and around 5 concussions. I feel lucky compared to some of the stories posted since I have no lingering effects, other than the fact I can't play basketball anymore, and my short term memory tends to fail me more times than I like.
High Tib plateau fracture, 16 screws and a Ti plate to hold me back together, during rehab I broke the bone again, in total I was down for 6 months.....That was oct. 10 2009......Then Aug of this year, the area swelled up, ended up having a bad infection, they had to go in and remove the plate and screws, installed a PICC line for a 24hr a day antibiotics infusion, that I had to wear for 3 months and when they took out the hardware, they installed some kind of beads on the bone for 3 months, those now are removed and Im now working on getting back full motion and strength
I broke his glass smoking device and I sustained a fractured face, collapsed lung and road rash. I was back on the streets in two weeks however.
The time I almost died in the ambulance was neat and all, but I might say that the "worst" was racing the winter combat series at Aztec in Colorado Spring, almost exactly a year ago. I was coming out of a big radius turn and cracked 3rd gear wide open. I was on my second ride on my kawi and the tail wiggled a little which didn't concern me at all, but the wiggle immediately turned into a full blown side to side explosion. In the ragdoll down the track, I think the handlebar snagged on the crotch of my pants. It wasn't pretty, no broken skin, but three notable impact points in the taint region and on the shaft. I was happy not to have smashed a testicle, and called it a day and went home. The first time I peed after returning home, it was followed up by profuse bleeding. I called my dad, who's a doctor, to ask if I needed to go to the ER, he said there's not much to do for a torn urethra, and to keep an eye on it. It bled for a few days but seemed to be improving, but the swelling in the area got way out of hand. I became concerned about the swelling doing permanent damage, and went to see a urologist. The urologist figured out that it wasn't swelling, but I had what's called a high-flow priapism. It's very rare and usually heals itself, but not in my case. Basically I had torn a bunch of blood vessels in my dong, and they were dumping blood continuously into the tissue that give you a boner. To avoid the story getting too long, I went for 10 months or so and through two interventional radiology procedures, before getting a semi-normal boner again. For a while it didn't seem like it was ever really going to work again. Life wasn't going that well anyway, and the addition of this made it easily the worst time of my life. I'll take any broken bone over this one.
"...semi-normal boner..." I had one of those the first time I watched The Crying Game.
At least you have been afforded some great opportunities and experiences that did come from the injury.
I know of a few for you off the top... And the reality, they make you a pioneer in our sport for others with similar situations.
