Remind those around you that you love them :p

[Swish]

Not a premature Valentine's thread lol...I was quite unlucky on Monday riding on my motorbike and having a car collide with me. It knocked me unconscious, I fractured my collar bone, cracked a few ribs and have been in a lot of pain for most of the week (and haven't been able to do much in front of my laptop [You must be logged in to view images.

The doctor said I was lucky it wasn't a lot worse or fatal (fatal was melodramatic I think), and I don't remember the accident itself, just waking up in the middle of the road with a couple of paramedics crouched over me :/

So this weekend call your family if you haven't spoken to them in a while, make time for those around you and remind everyone you love how much they mean to you...who knows when something unexpected could happen.

What is this family thing exactly?

If I had a dollar for every motorcycle accident I've ran on, I would be a rich medic. Just don't do it

Good to hear you're doing better Swish. I lost a good friend a couple years back similarly - he had wiped out on his motorcycle - they put a plate in his skull and all kinds of surgery but in the long run he just didn't make it. When I hear of others having similar accidents it reminds me of that horrific accident. May God bless you and give you a swift recovery.
( or Allah or whatever you believe in )

Glad you alright swish. Ive had 3 friends die in motorcycle accidents(2 of the 3 were their fault). I'll never get on one personally.

Yep, I sold all my motorcycles after my friend got T-boned by a lady on her cell phone.

If I lived in the middle of nowhere maybe but not here, too many clueless drivers.

Try to tell a climber not to climb. Tell a flyer not to fly. Tell a biker not to bike...

Let the make their own choice. Some people were born to live on the edge. There're no guarantees in life. Swish's advice can apply to anybody anywhere because anyone's number can come up tomorrow. Some people have a higher risk of their number coming up, but who wants to live in a world where we all experience the exact same risk? What would we be clones? Robots? Prisoners? No thanks.

Pain is no fun. Get well Swish.

[Eunomia]

Get well soon, Swish.

Anyone over 35.
