x-rays of injuries

Took these with my camera phone while at the Dr's. last Wed. Shows repaired collar bone, steel rod with eight screws, and five broken ribs, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8.

Anyone else have any, show'em.

Yeah what he said. You are one tough man Moose. I have no clue how you kept your cool and weren't screaming.

Moose · January 29, 2006, 09:34:37 PM

Well I don't know about being any tougher than the next guy, but I wasn't about to post pics of the bruises I got. Don't want to get the ladies excited, yea I wish. But the worst bruises I have ever had I tell ya.

Thanks for all the good words from you all, I'm doing much better now. I want to go ride real bad, so I must feel better.

bigscrub79 · January 29, 2006, 09:43:36 PM

how much longer until you can ride?

Moose · January 29, 2006, 10:12:26 PM

3 weeks until I see the Dr. again, so longer than that. Had to let a friend ride my quad today just to keep the oil circulated once in a while. I'm going to take lil moose to RR the 10th, I have to let him ride. I'll just ride around in my truck and take pics, look out you all.

qt314nfla · January 29, 2006, 10:13:13 PM

I rode w/ your friend today. We missed you.

2006YFZ450 · January 30, 2006, 05:51:32 AM

Ouch that must of hurt

Hope you get better soon and back riding

Sweet Z · January 30, 2006, 10:13:42 AM

That looks like it was fun.

DjLeOo · January 30, 2006, 10:47:02 AM

How did it happen ?? what quad were you on ??

Moose · January 30, 2006, 01:53:06 PM

Parents, show your kids this, tell them this is what can happen even if you think you are being careful. I thought I was being careful, but I missed that steep incline on the right side, hit it and the foreman rolled to the left real hard and fast. Slammed me to the ground, good thing it was soft dirt. Ruined my weekend, and the rest of the day for those that helped me out. So the costs can be more than money.

qt314nfla · January 30, 2006, 02:41:01 PM

I was right behind him and he was in 1-2 on a ute which means less than 10mph. It was really a freak accident because Moose has made the manuver that caused his accident many times w/o incident. A chest protector would have prevented all his injuries.

Moose, you didn't ruin my weekend. I was just worried about you. I'm sure it changed lil' Moose out look on things. If he would have seen how slow you were moving and that it shouldn't have happened you'd probably have a kid that was begging for gear when he rides.

I'm glad things are getting better.

You didnt ruin our day. It was our pleasure to help out, but knowing what we know now we would have taken you to winter haven hospital or heart of florida.

those are some crazy picture
can you still use ur throttle if so then you can ride lol

svtbolt04 · January 30, 2006, 06:12:23 PM

I got a question man

How do they put the rod in? Splice you open and insert? then drill some screws to hold your colar bone together?

Moose · January 30, 2006, 07:29:39 PM

YUP, that's about it. The screws go into the two pieces of bone to hold them untill they heal. Will stay in me from now on.

400EX · January 30, 2006, 09:26:40 PM

hey moose i know how ya feel man... i got a plate and six screws in my collar bone too. the only bad thing about it is in the mornings if its cold it wants to freeze up a little bit... i think i'm gonna try and invent a greasing hole soo i can spray some wd40 in there when its stiff. good luck and hope u get back to riding soon.

4fittyr · January 30, 2006, 10:46:58 PM

Chuck_Norris · January 31, 2006, 08:29:40 PM

Moose · January 31, 2006, 08:33:47 PM

Every so often if I lay on it wrong, but then again the Doc wanted to go in and re break mine and I opted not to have it done. kind a said just wait until I break it again and then you can work your magic
