December 31, 201312 yr comment_615868 Ken, wishing you the best while on the mend! This is a high side. Basically the motorcycle bucks one off of it. Kind of like an ejection seat caused by a qick change of momentum. Normally caused by a rear tire losing, then regaining traction suddenly. Braking is usually involved or a too quick left-right turning transition. Report
December 31, 201312 yr comment_615906 Dusty said exactly what I was thinking: drugs yes, death no. Heal fast, Ken. Report
December 31, 201312 yr comment_615961 I've gotten an update. I have a broken hip, not a broken femur. Iwill be sent home sometime today. I will give more info when I get to a key board. Report
December 31, 201312 yr comment_615971 Yuck. This. Sorry for the damage, Ken. Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery. Report
December 31, 201312 yr comment_616018 Dropped in on Ken. He's going home today, so dressed appropriately. Enjoy your new year and the pharmaceutical grade drugs, Ken. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Report
January 1, 201412 yr comment_616110 Hope you have someone to look in on you while you recover Ken. Report
January 1, 201412 yr comment_616121 Jeezus, Ken! in the (slightly paraphrased) immortal words of Danny Glover in whichever the fuck version of Lethal Weapon it was, "you're getting too old for this shit!" Heal quickly, buddy, and be careful out there. Report
January 1, 201412 yr comment_616125 You look better than I expected for all those broken bones. I'd look way worse, that's sure. The broken hip can be a broken femur. No surgery? Hopefully it's just a fissure and you're prescribed some rest. Best wishes, Ken. And a hug Report
January 1, 201412 yr comment_616238 Thanks all. I'm home. The facts that I can only use my left arm (limited on the right to lifting, pushing, etc, 10 lbs max) and that I shamble round like a 100 year old man, means that everything here happens very slowly. At least I'm home. It turns out I don't have a broken femur, but rather a broken acetabulum. At least all my breaks are non-surgical. Gotta go feed my animals. This normally takes about 10 minutes but will probably take an hour. Report
January 1, 201412 yr comment_616243 Glad to see you back home and shufflin', Ken. Maybe you can devise a more efficient way of feeding the animals with your down time. **BRENT** Report
January 1, 201412 yr comment_616251 Are you forbidden to charge weight on that damaged hip? Do you use crutches? Oh well, Ken, it might have been way worse, but still it sucks. I'm glad you're home. Take care and get well Report
January 1, 201412 yr comment_616252 Good that you're home and the breaks are non-surgical. As others have said, take care and heal well..... Report
