I'm not going to write loads, as my left hand is still healing and I can barely move my fingers.
Most of you already know that I had a nasty crash. I don't remember anything from the crash or how it happened, I was unconscious until one of the witnesses along with an elderly couple helped me. Still, I only have flashbacks... I remember more from A&E, but they drugged me up as they had to put few bones back in place.
Quick overview what happened based on the info I got from the witness, police and medics: I hit gravel on the bend, got back in control of the vehicle. But I ended up on the opposite lane and nearly had a head on with oncoming car, I swerved back... But the road splits into two separate roads and whilst trying to make it, I clipped the kerb and went flying with the bike, hit the road 2nd time and I came off it, the bike bounced once again and flipped onto me.
Police and the witness (local) said that due to that layout of the road there's a lot of accidents on that road... Last thing I remember before the crash is doing 60 on a straight coming towards a bend. (I was coming back home)
Here're a few pictures of me and the gear... WARNING! Some might find the pictures disturbing, you open them up at your own responsibility!
Right leg
Right leg doesn't require dressing, wound is healed. Now, I just need to keep it moisturised.
Had a cut at the back of my head, bleeding nose and I bit my lip, I looked like I had fight at a pub on a Friday night. lol
Messed up wrist and ulna & radius bones went out of the joint. So they put them back shortly after the x-rays.
My hand, actual pictures...
Apart from that loads of bruisers and little cuts, most healed up fairly quickly. It'll probably take another 6 months before I recover and will not need a wheelchair. So far 2 operations, I might require 1 more. But its too early to say, its quite a complicated op and there're risks...
Whilst being in Hospital, I met loads of bikers and not just patience as a lot of the nurses&doctors also said they ride. Some bikers, were in really bad shape... The stuff I saw has made me think, 'is it really worth it?' I had all kind of thoughts going through my head...
I'll go back to riding eventually, but I'm ditching roads for good... all the accidents I had were due to some crap on the road. At this minute my mind is set on recovering, after that I'm selling the bike for parts and buying a car.
Gear
Boots are battered a bit, but still usable.
The bike damages are:
-Bent handle bars
-both rims bent
-Throttle is cracked and smashed up
-Right handlebar controls are grinded down.
-Master cylinder is grinned down, but still works.
-Ripped rear seat
-Bent and scratched rear passenger holder thingy
-Right fairing is scratched
-Engine cover has few scratches, but no leaks
Salvageable, I could make it road worthy for 200-300. But I'll make more profit selling it for parts.

After skin grafts, around 10-14 days as that's around the time I first moved my legs. The nerves got damaged and I was unable to move my legs for the first few days at all... These burns are from the exhaust.
That white thing is the Patellar tendon
