Followup to Motorcyle Accident
So a couple of weeks ago I got into a reasonably scary motorcycle accident. I wasn’t terribly hurt, and was back to work 5 days later (2 of those were weekend days, so it wasn’t terribly bad).
I’m still getting worried emails from folk, so I thought I’d update everyone on my condition and all the other jazz going on. So in no particular order, here’s what’s up:
- During the accident, I didn’t break anything or anything, so it’s really just muscle/nerve pain. That pain caused me to go on a new drug cocktail that consisted of anti-inflammatory’s (and the requisite stomach protectors), muscle relaxants, pain suppressors, pain killers and sleep meds.
- When I started this, I was popping 2 tylenol 3’s several times per day + percocet (sp?) at night. Wowza.
- Now I’m down to a single T3, three times per day, and a single percocet at night (though anti-inflammatory’s and muscle relaxants are still part of the mix).
- I have my first *real* massage appointment next week.
- I’m working just as much as always.
- The pain is completely bearable.
- Bike is still in the shop. First meeting with insurance company is tomorrow. I’m still hoping it’s either totalled or close enough that I can write them a cheque for the difference so I can upgrade to my dream bike. It’s faster, can go on the big highways with more confidence than my current one and, magic do magic dee, won’t flip on streetcar tracks. Ever.
- Police haven’t done much, but I’m confident they’ll deal with the driver severely. The officer on the case is on vacation, but given that he’s a biker, he was pissed as hell that this happened, so I’m sure he’ll be right on it.
End of the day, the reason I wanted to write this is to tell everyone that I’m fine. I totally appreciate the concern (especially from spammers… who’ve started sending me emails with “I heard about your motorcycle accident… having your p*nis enlarged will make you feel a tonne better!”. But really, I’m fine. Looking forward to continuing to wean myself off the drug, of course.
That’s it, so thanks again, and feel free to continue emailing me to chat, but don’t worry too much, k? ;-)
