Ow
It's been an interesting few days to say the least.
I was in a car accident on Thursday. We were driving along and some schmuck came out of his driveway at full speed, I guess we were in his blindspot or something, and he rammed right into my passenger side. Unfortunately, the door jammed into my side, and the result was a small fracture in my pelvis. I guess that's what you get for being built like a fricking twig.
I've experienced a lot of pain before, but nothing like this. I had to be hospitalised on Friday because I just couldn't walk at all, and I could hardly move it without yelling every profanity under the sun. It was extremely intense pain. So I took a ride in an ambulance and they gave me some morphine which is the best thing... ever. I'm on it right now, and I better be careful or I might have to enter rehab when I stop using it...
I was in a hospital room with this old guy, he was a funny old bastard who kept hitting on all the nurses, it was hilarious. He was telling me all these stories about when he used to be a horse racing jockey, it was pretty cool.
But yeah, I only got out of the hospital this morning, and I'm off work for the whole week. I'm able to walk right now, but only when heavily medicated and at short distances. The doctor said that would improve in the next few days, although it'll take 4-6 weeks for the pain to completely go away. Because it's the pelvis there's obviously no cast they can put on or anything like that, and they didn't want to operate, I just have to be careful and rest it. It actually hurts to laugh. You'd think when someone says that they're exaggerating, but no, it really does if you're moving your torso. The doctor told me the pelvis is one of the worst places to have a fracture. Excellent.
Someone is trying to kill me, I'm convinced.
Anyway I need to go and lie down, I can't really sit infront of the computer for long at all. :-/
