Yup... RobThePyro's bike crash thread... [Update]
Hi guys...
just to the mods i didn't know where to put this so i stuck it under general
so just over a month ago (12 April 2008) I crashed my bike... broken wrist, broken rib and... 3 fractured vertebrae in my back(T7-T9) which was the reason that i couldn't move my legs when i got to hospital... SO i got to have mad spinal surgery where they fused 7 vertebrae (T5-T11) together with a bunch of titanium(NOT fun...) Thankfully (Like to take this opportunity to thank God for fixing me!) they were able to decompress my spinal cord and i now have full movement in my legs!
I just got released from hospital yesterday! (4weeks and 6days later...) iv been learning to walk for 2 weeks but im still in a brace... ill try get some pics up later.
Funny thing about the accident is i was riding my TZR125, bout 50kmh, with a passenger on the back when the accident occurred, im sure this is similar to another fourm member by the name of Dae_Ja_Voo who also crashed his TZR125 with a passenger and spent a month in hospital followed by learning to walk again! hows about that for deja vu ( pun intended...)
The accident was pretty freak... going round a corner, no other cars, and went off the road for some reason(still not sure if; passenger on back leant over or something OR someone threw like a stick or something into my front wheel (some stuff was STOLEN(ipod and cellphone) from passengers bag when we were unconscious on the road...)OR mechanical fail of some kind...) of coarse i went flying into the only solid object in the area (street sign) while bike and passenger slid up the road, AFAIK the bike is fine just the fairings a bit broken and the passenger just had a broken collar bone and some nerve damage(she was out of hospital in a few days) SO i still dont know what happened exactly because i had a concussion and dont remember ANYTHING from the crash...
anyway looks like ill be fine in time to come... but in the mean time i have a small request for you guys, your welcome to post the standard "get well" posts but if you could include some info/news about ANYTHING(Pc's, hardware, games, pcformat fourms, modding, news etc. etc. ) that i have missed in the past month (i have been internet-lessness rofl...) that would be awsome!!! thanks guys you know you all rock!
I cant wait to get this cast off my arm and star modding/overclocking again!
and in other news, just before the crash i got a new HTC Touch, AWSOME phone highly recommend it!!! Also i have hatched a secret plan with my dad to start another business that the overclocking and modding guys are going to LOVE! more details to follow
anyways now that you all know where iv been (im sure you have ALL missed me! rofl...) for the last month, im off to take my pain killers! have a nice day!

All the best for a speedy recovery Rob!
My friend was in a serious Bike accident and nearly lost his leg so I can imagine just how serious your situation was.
As doo_much said, glad you got out alive

So that's what pyro gets upto. Hope nothing went up in flames. Also it is not impossible that someone staged the accident by putting something in the road or throwing a stick, so to speak, in order to steal some stuff from you. But then again that is just some paranoid me speaking.

Yeah man, i had an accident too. Not quite as seriously as this though. I indirectly played chicken with an 18 wheeler and lost, terribly. Ended up in hospital with my right leg's bones completely crushed. Thankfully God hooked my up with some of his heeling and about 15K worth of titanium and after a few months of hard work, i was able to walk perfectly again.
Oh yes! I have one of those! What an amazing piece of kitRobThePyro wrote:just before the crash i got a new HTC Touch, AWSOME phone highly recommend it!!!
Ooh sounds interesting!RobThePyro wrote:Also i have hatched a secret plan with my dad to start another business that the overclocking and modding guys are going to LOVE! more details to follow
Anyway dude, i'm glad you're okay. I hope you get better soon and learn to walk quickly again. Not being able to walk absolutely sucks (wheelchair FTW though )
I'll keep you in my prayers
That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.
Best wishes and get well soon. I was in a bad car wreck about 7 months ago and also had to learn how to walk again, the best thing you can do is concentrate on what you can do and not what you can't. After the accident I could hardly move at all, all I could do was wiggle my toes and move my right arm. I thought I was trapped in a nightmare. You'll come right eventually, it takes time. Go to rehab and do your physio, it works wonders. The more physio you do, the sooner you'll be back to normal.
Please be careful with those things and try take as few as you can even if your in a little bit of discomfort. After a while they actually start to increase your pain because they cause your brain to stop producing endorphins.im off to take my pain killers! have a nice day!
They also stole a cellphone and a friend's handbag. Probably the tow truck drivers.(some stuff was STOLEN(ipod and cellphone)
The HD4800 is being released soon and the Geforce 10 should be here in about 2 months. Exciting times ahead.but if you could include some info/news about ANYTHING(Pc's, hardware, games, pcformat fourms, modding, news etc. etc. Very Happy Razz ) that i have missed in the past month (i have been internet-lessness rofl...) that would be awsome!!! thanks guys you know you all rock!
