for markie
he fell off his bike last night and dislocated his shoulder.
poormarkie.
-
that sucks!
hope it feels better soon...
-
didn't the high strung write a song on this very subject?
-
If he has any sense he is drinking all of my beer to help dull the pain - although he seemed to not be hurting to bad this morning, last night was another story. I'm sure if he finds my computer he will log on and give a report. In the meantime, I can tell you this: I was not responsible!
Send cards, flowers and vicodin to lulu and I am sure she will see that he gets them.

woohoo! a bikers' milestone achieved!
i remember the time i dislocated mine. Hoo-ey did that sucker hurt. But it's a very very common biker's injury, and we all have to face the music sometime. In some circles, it's a badge of pride and a rite of passage.

Were you at least able to capture the moment on video for future posterity?

oooh, fun, now that i've finally got the hang of clipless pedals
something new to look forward to!
-
Did he pop it back in right there on the trail, Mel Gibson style?
-
Unfortunately, no video. I had a camera but it wasn't out and I was riding in front of him.
As far as popping it back in, No, he went to the hospital. Probably so he could get a script ;)

just don't be that guy that stops at a sign/light, forgets to unclip in time, and just falls over. it's quite amusing for the rest of us to watch, but it's no fun to be stuck to a falling-over bike.

My brother and I used to ride down the hill of our big long driveway on the farm we lived on when we were 8 or 9 or so. We'd race...and one day he crossed over and cut in front of me and wrecked me. Did something to my shoulder, put me out of little league action for the whole summer...though I refused to go to a hospital.
And if you didn't like that story, have i ever told you about the blue haired girl at the Pixies show.
Get well lil Markie, hope it doesn't keep you off the board.
-
ouch! get well markie
-
my suggestion:
Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ectasy and Alcohol
Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ectasy and Alcohol
Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ectasy and Alcohol
Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ectasy and Alcohol
Hope he feels better soon and his elbow remains in working order...
-
Sorry to hear about it mate. Happy mending.
This probably means lots of Halo for you though - talk to you soon!

been there, done that
and i agree..it is no fun

Oh hello, 1 handed typing is not so quick.
Thanks for the best wishes.
It does not hurt right now so that is good.
but I am going to keep my arm in sling, which means no halo, which is bad.
I bought another bike just now, good, it could be while till I ride it,and someone is going to disslocate my other shoulder when they find out, bad.
sailor ripley looked real cute in his nursey uniform, oh wait, was that a dream, or no?

You may never know...

typing with one hand is tough (broken hand here, no halo for me either), but i'm getting faster each day.
healing vibes to you. i dislocated my shoulder catching a crowd surfer once. pulled the mel gibson thing, popped it back in and finished the show. it was a bad idea. you did the right thing.

Damn fellas! Pollard, Monk, medic, others - don't leave the house! It's not safe! Just stay in front of the TV and everything will be alright.
Actually, Smackette wants a new apartment so we're moving this weekend. That will give you guys some time to recover. Good luck fella's.

I would suggest that you buy a well-made and properly fitted pair of leather boots for the Mrs so that she can rightly kick your arse! Consider it sparing the other shoulder.
Poor Markie.
Poor, poor misguided Markie.

ha, ha, happened me once at the intersection of 14th and K during rush hour :roll:

I'll bring my left over demerol from my elbow surgery next time I am at the club. Oh damn, what the hell am I thinking 'leftover demerol' isn't that an oxymoron?

hey thatguy,
what did you do to your hand? I am not sure I am ready to become left handed...
I bought a surly cross check it is a fixie. It is a bike I had borrowed from a friend before. He sold it real cheap, it is a bit small for me, but with a long stem I found it comfy enough on a longer rider.
I really outh to sell one of my other bikes. I suppose the langster might have to go. But it is soo pretty. The preciouses.

didn't you just buy that one?

Ding ding DING!
But I really wanted a cross check, but I couldnt find one cheap. They have overlapping utility, but the cross check fits bigger tyres and is good for some lighter off-roading. Ideal for the C&O canal.
Than langster has no tyre clearance and is really a dedicated fast fixed gear road bike.
As the cross-check can do everything the langster can and more, really the langster should go. But the cross check might prove to a be a bit small for me.
I guess I like bikes.

I had been wondering how long it would take for some kind of wanking arm comment to come along.
Well put!

long story that doesn't need to be posted publicly, but it ends with: i broke my fifth metacarpal when my hand and a car door attempted to share the same space.
i can't be left handed either. i'm no good at it. luckilly, i'm in a half cast and can take it off and use my right hand gently when it isn't hurting.
-
*raises eybrows-closes eyes and tightens lips in that sympathetic, knowing biker way*
Just in time for the nicer bike weather too. Sorry for your pain mate.
Did the missus give the old "isn't it time you grew up and stopped riding bikes like you're a little boy" lecture?????

A liekely story.... That injury is famous: ;)
Your story sounds much more interesting than mine.
Well I got bored of my sling yesterday. I decided from reading around that early mobilisation is better than letting all the muscles atrophy. So I will be back playing halo. YAY!
-

Actually she has been pretty sympathetic, which is unusula for her.
My parents gave me that lecture though. They didnt sound too happy when I told them that I used the money that they put into my account for my birthday to buy another bike....

Dang. I face that problem, too, with three bikes living in an apt the size of a postage stamp. But they're my babies, and I can't, just can't, let 'em go.
I have to say I LOVE my steamroller. I'm so glad I built it. I live on the thing, really, leaving my poor beater bike a bit forlorn. Oh, well.

Ooooh, while we're comparing cycling injuries. See the thumb, well follow it down to those two little bones in the wrist, I broke one of those and chipped a bit off the big fecker that is touching them and goes up the forearm.
Evidently, when you fall off your bike, the most common injury is;
a) broken collar bone, or
b)dislocated shoulder.
The reason for this is the injury will happen at the weakest point and cyclist are usually of slight build so the shoulder area gets it. I'm rather broad-shouldered and "muscley" up there, so my wrist got the worst of it. Markie, as I remember, is no whimp across the shoulders either, and likes a good wank on a regular basis so his wrists are quite strong......the shoulder dislocating would indeed have been the weakest point.

So, you're saying that you're limp-wristed?

What is the difference between a separated shoulder, a dislocated shoulder, and a broken shoulder?

Originally posted by Sam Pulsize:

# Dislocation - The shoulder joint is the most frequently dislocated major joint of the body -- often caused by a significant force that separates the shoulder joint's ball (the top rounded portion of the upper arm bone, or humerus) away from the joint's socket (glenoid).
# Separation - The shoulder becomes separated when the ligaments attached to the collarbone (clavicle) are torn or partially torn away from the shoulder blade (scapula). Shoulder separation may be caused by a sudden, forceful blow to the shoulder or as a result of a fall.
#Fracture - a partial or total crack or break through a bone that usually occurs due to a impact injury.

I knew those most predictable would come up with the 'limp wrist' comment, but manly enough enough to take it.

Did he get a boo-boo?
-
That picture has been doing the rounds on the cycling board for a couple of months..... I think he was fine.
As for me, well I am doing OK, I got back on my bike again last Sunday and seem to be fine. It aches a bit and hurts like shit if I try and put my arm into a forbidden position, but it's much better than I was expecting.
-
it was bound to happen,you crazy bastard......a fireroad ;) how did it happen?
may i offer you my services as a nurse/maid :eek:
