crowded day yesterday, a handful of guys dropped in in front of me while i was paddling back out, couldnt get around them so I had to duck dive under them. Something clipped my left calf, hurt for a bit but nothing crazy. went out to dinner afterwards had a beer, went to bed and woke up at midnight in excruciating pain and had my fiance take me to the er. my leg is about 6 sizes bigger, all hyped up on pain meds and stuck on the couch. watch the crowds bouys, its early still and already a zoo
Wait!! Are you sleeping with your "fiancee"!!??!! Well there you go!! It is Gods punishment for fornicating!!! lol...... just kidding, h.d. Hope youz get better.
Ouch man. I got biffed in the calf couple weeks ago. Tried to duck dive a mutant wave that imploded me and my fin caught my calf in the turmoil. It hurt, but nothing bad. The next day it was quite sore and the bruise was impressive. Good thing I had my 6 mil suit on otherwise it would have probably filleted my calf. In hindsight I should have ditched my board (after looking back) cause there was no way I was getting under that thick lipped beast.
wife stepped back into an open ac duct on the floor while we were remodeling our single wide trailer and the end result was a subdural hematoma.
Oh man sorry to hear. The crowds are crazy. I'm surprised the guy ran you over- that's about most selfish move, I mean how hard is it to surf around someone as give them a little room- at some point all of us get caught in the inside and get in someone's way... It's just the way it goes. Hope you get better. Could one of the Drs on here please explane what a hemotoma? I really don't know... If it a clogged blood vessel? MeTard- did your leg ever clear up? I didn't know that your trailer had AC!
I got a hematoma once on my shin. 19 years old, Drunk, wrestling, a buddy's knee landed on my shin. After dinner it blew up huge, the leg of my jeans felt like sausage casing it was so tight, and hurt soooo focken bad. I had to go to the ER, it was in Gainesville. I was on crutches for two weeks. Hope you get better soon Hayduke.
When I was in the 9th grade I was sitting on the bleachers and a kid pulled my sneaker off and threw it across the gym then started laughing to his buddies. I jumped off the bleachers and clocked him right in the temple/jaw and he went down. when he got up he nervously laughed and walked away. A week went by and I hadn't seen him (I was waiting for a sneak attack to get revenge). I asked someone where he was and they said "you didn't hear? He's in the hospital with a huge Hematoma On the left side of his face"
Dayum metard. Way to get em zippy Surfdog: Last thing I want to hear is that I'll be on crutches for two weeks, these f u c k ing things are tearing my armpits apart and they keep finding every unstable surface in my apartment. I've gone down a few times while trying to navigate my way to the bathroom. I wanna be pissed at the kid for not only running me over but blowing the wave in the process, then again it's annoying to dodge speed bumps on a crowded day. I've had two sessions in the past two weeks that my second wave resulted in collision. Got burned by a guy and held my line into the lip while he was trying to cut back, and then this. 17 years of little issue, think it's time to start surfing away from the crowd, way too little talent and regard of other people around these days
When my wife hurt her meniscus, she took washcloths and wrapped them around the top of the crutches with duct tape for cushion under her armpits. I think they told me RICE: rest,ice,compression, elevation. Heal quick then get a 10 foot war board and seek revenge.
Hmmmm.... a "war board". I like the concept!! Do you remember the movie Ben Hur?? The guy he raced, Massala, he had a chariot with knives on the axles designed to cut up competitors wheel spindles, as well as mow them down if on the ground!! Something like that??? We should design one and start a business. Call it "The Chum Maker"!!!!
