A failed attempt at DIY orthopedics
I might have mentioned this before, but I can't be arsed to check.

As a young single man, my mate's dad had a motorbike and as it was a hot day, went for a spin. He was speeding along and taking a bend when his bike did that thing where the front wheel sort of trips over itself and the rider gets thrown over the handlebars. You see it quite often in MotorGP. Anyway, he hit the road with a thud and sort of tumbled along to a halt.

He looked down and noticed that his knee was not where it ought to be. The reason being was that his femur had snapped in half and the lower half had pushed up through the flesh and his jeans and was sticking out into the open air for all to see. Search on Google Images for compound fractures for extra gore.

He told me that he didn't really feel it and found it most curious. The sharp edge of it had scraped the road surface and had actually collected a small amount of the hot tarmac which was now hanging off the bone like a bit of chewing-gum scraped off the pavement with a lolly-stick.

Still not really feeling anything, he reached down and started picking it off and then decided to try and fix it by pushing against the foot with his good leg in a bid to stretch his leg back out. That was when the pain kicked in and he blacked out, waking up in hospital with his leg up in traction.
Years later, he still walks with a limp as one leg is ever so slightly shorter than the other.

Makes me think of that James Spader movie, 'Crash'.
Then it would be semen rather than tarmac dripping from his exposed bone! Sorry - silly, silly post.
I really must grow up one of these days.

I looked up the pictures....
I never want to move again. I'll wrap myself in pillows and stay put until I'm old and dead. o.o
