Still Recovering from a Motorcycle Accident

by Steve
Monday, January 30, 2006

I haven't blogged much here because I've been stuck in a hospital recovery from a motorcycle accident I incurred on January 21. I was discharged home yesterday.

Long story short, I have a kidney contusion, fractured right wrist, a black & blue big toe, and scrapes along one side of my face. They put a cast on my wrist, which makes it difficult to type, and to make matters worse, I developed a really nasty allergic reaction to the cast. Go figure!

If you want more details, read the full story on my corporate blog.

I hope you check back more often, I'm gonna start blogging again, though it'll be slower for awhile.

  • Wow. Sorry you're laid up. Wishing you a quick and complete recovery soon.

    Does this mean we'll see a spate of posts on strange new products from the Pain Relief and First Aid aisle?

  • Similar thing happened to me a few years back. Hang in there man, wipe carefully and try not to get any shit on your cast. We all look forward to new posts when you are up to it.

  • Woah hey! Sorry to hear that. Heal up soon. You'll be missed in the meantime but some things are more important than blogging all day :)

  • Glad you're on the mend... I'm not much of a pro-helmet person, but am curious if you had one of the ol' brain buckets strapped on yer noggin.
