Apfelwein's best \ worst injury to date?

[Duckfoot]

Took a header down the stairs while retrieving my 2nd glass of A.W. and ended up with this:

4 hours later, I am glad the internets taught me to type one-handed

Heed my warning : socks + hardwood stairs = recipe for disaster...

Now where did that apfelwein go? My percocet is wearing off...

 

[GregR]

ouch!

[natelatte]

alcohol + pain med = super enhanced pain med

Ouch, looks busted. Hope you heal soon. My dad actually just fell off the roof of the house and tore his thigh muscle. Seems accidents were abound yesturday.

 

[Duckfoot]

Definitely busted... have to see an ortho this week to see if surgery will be needed...

And Ed, please don't think I was blaming apfelwein for this... Had it not been for a.w. this prolly woulda hurt a helluva lot worse...

more pics coming up...

 

[Duckfoot]

MacGuyver like use of a clipboard as a make shift splint..

My wrist has a new chicane...

Chinese finger trap traction device...

Traction applied...

 

[Duckfoot]

Doc setting me straight...

All wrapped up...

Drugs are good!!!

 

[g_rath]

Ouch. The shirt is a nice touch though

 

[BigKahuna]

agreed.

Dude...Surgery is almost inevitable with that one.

 

[Natas]

Ouch indeed. Your break looks very similar to one I had a little over a year ago. No apfelwein involved though.
Mine occured while longboarding down a pretty steep street. Forgot to tighten up my trucks and got speed wobbles about half way down. I went down hard, got up to mt wrist looking liek yours, but I had bones sticking out. I had two surgeries, and now have a big titanium plate and 14 pins and screws holding my arm together. The doctor said my arm would not be the same again, but I've completely recovered.
Did find out, though, morphine doesn't affect me. They had to dose me up with double delauted. Talk about feeling no pain.:cross:

Hope your arm gets better..
Here's to hoping your physical therapist is as hot as mine was...

 

[Duckfoot]

The xrays were fairly clean looking after the ER doc set it... Going to orthopedic surgeon tomorrow for the verdict...

Wish me luck...

 

[Duckfoot]

plate and screws to be added to my wrist in one week... bionic brewing, here i come...

 

[EdWort]

Wow, I just read this. I'm glad you had some apfelwein to make your ride to the hospital a bit more comfortable. :cross:

I hope all is ok now.

 

[Sheep_Dog]

Damn man I hope the wrist is doing better, looks like it was a hell of a break!

So this was just after 1 glass of Apfelwein? How big was the glass?

 

[Revvy]

Oh my word, I dunno how I ever missed this thread.

Glad you're ok though.

I will say that a pint of apfelwein and a darvocet was a wonderful think when I hurt my back on Sunday.

 

[farmbrewernw]

Painkillers and Apfelwein could be dangerous, but I like it!

 

[njnear76]

Yowzers! That is darn scary!

 

[Duckfoot]

All is better... I had surgery three weeks ago today, where I was the lucky recipient of 12 screws, one titanium plate and a spiffy scar... Two therapy sessions into it, all I can say is OUCH!...

As far as the size of the glass, it was just a regular old pint glass...

 

[Dloucks]

Duckfoot,
I think the moral to the story is that you should never keep a set of stairs between you and your brew. Not only is it ineffecient logistically, but it's down right dangerous.

 

[Duckfoot]

Not only will I have my kegerator built someday, SWMBO says I am allowed to put a tap in the kitchen if I ever remodel it...

Problem will be solved then...

 

[Saccharomyces]

Hmmm, now I have a real excuse for having a beer fridge on each level of the house. Thanks! :cross:
