About Sinsual

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 11:01 am

I was recently notified that Sinsual was in an accident on March 26th and is currently in the hospital. Thankfully the only injury he has is a broken elbow, which the docs seem to be waiting on a bone graft for if I understand correctly. He's probably going to be in the hospital until next Monday I believe.

If anyone would like to give him a call to help cheer his spirits, PM or email me and I'll send the contact info.

Bloody hell, course what does he expect for a motorcycle tester.

I shall get ahold of him.

Send my best regards, please?

How's he get in the accident? Bishop's suicidal tree?

Apparently his muffler fell off his motorcycle and got under the tires when he went to pass another vehicle. It's just a good thing he always wears full protective gear when he's riding.

Bwog!? His muffler fell off?!

Either someone seriously fucked up when they tightened the bolts on his slip-on, or he was in a really sharp corner.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 12:54 am

Dunno what caused it to happen, saw some pics of the bike and he was damn lucky

He's now home with 21 screws in his elbow and awaiting a bone graft.

Jesus, Sin. You trying to catch up to me? :cyber

Now, is this an /actual/ thing that happened to Sinsual, or is it one of those things Sinsual says happened, that everyone secretly doubts actually occured? Like, you know, me owning a Porsche and being British.

Aw, crap, and his camera got busted, too!

Moto42 · Post by **Moto42** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 4:15 am

Did this happen while he was at work or just on the road?

Wishing Sin a speedy recovery.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 6:02 am

Just on the road, and it was on his b-day also.

sinsual · Post by **sinsual** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 9:18 am

just wait until I can post the Xray pics. I got copy of the finished product and when I go in for the next appointment the bone doc is going to give me copies of the before set.

It happened on my day off, and yes 3-2 my camera got fucked up. I will be out of work 3-6 months ands I stil need to go back in 4-6 weeks for the bone graft. Well I can honestly reconfirm that pavement at 65 hurts and that good gear is worth every penny you spend on it.

sinsual · Post by **sinsual** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 1:10 pm

oh and Scamp, neither, the headpipe broke just in front of the canister.

Patience · Post by **Patience** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 1:43 pm

It's really too bad that I was too late to call you in the hospital. Good luck with the bone graft. That's very winceworthy, and I'm sorry it happened to you.

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 1:46 pm

Holy crap. That's fucked up.

I'm glad to hear that you're relatively unscathed. Yet another advertisement for not riding in shorts and sandals.

sinsual · Post by **sinsual** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 2:36 pm

damn straight Scamp.
Thanks Patience and to everyone else who wished good thoughts. I am on 2 types of pain killers and an anti-inflamatory. I didn't black out at anytime, and had some of the coolest EMT's I have ever met. They listened to what I had to say and made sure it was clear on my paperwork I was in full gear AND that I wasn't stunting. The Trauma doc herself came back up to check on me and wanted toi let me know how much she appreciated the fact I wear full gear. Things like that go along way towards how you are treated. No one gave me greif about riding, but the guy in the bed next to me, constantly got jibes thrown ay him by the staff. No helmet, jeans and a tank top. There wasn't enough clean spots to take skingrafts from for him and it was only a 25mph accident.

Yeah, what's with the artwork from first year Engineering students?

Bishop · Post by **Bishop** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 7:40 pm

That's a work of art.

Caine Hazen · Post by **Caine Hazen** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 8:42 pm

WOW! yeah that's some hardware man... glad to hear you're doing somewhat Ok after all that.

One question...did you lose essence from that? cause that's alot of metal...

Kwyndig · Post by **Kwyndig** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 12:57 am

Um, I don't think that's enough to justify more than a .1 Essence loss.

Just saying. But yeah, that's pretty hardcore reconstruction there.

Moto42 · Post by **Moto42** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 1:35 am

It's not actualy /replacing/ anything, just keeping it all in place.
.01 tops.

Good to hear your out of the hospital. How long do they say you'll have the bionic elbow?

Kitt · Post by **Kitt** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 3:42 am

NICE! We have a tin man, ladies and gentlemen!

I mean, glad to hear you're doing well.

The Eclipse · Post by **The Eclipse** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 4:13 am

Well, i'm late as usual.

Glad to see that you are okay Sin, I should dig up the x-rays from when I broke my arm in three places falling off that telephone pole a few years back. My arm is more metal now than bone.

sinsual · Post by **sinsual** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 1:22 pm

on the essence aspect, don't forget the rod in my femur and the 2 screws in my ankle as well.

Johnny the Bull · Post by **Johnny the Bull** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 2:07 pm

Looks like the scan I got done on my knee. More metal than bone.

Mad props Sin. Most people would sit around and bitch and you come on to BD to gloat over the awesome lookin' scans.

Hard motherfucker.

Regardless that it's only .05 essence, he still has lost a whole point of magic.

ak404 · Post by **ak404** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 8:34 pm

If he was awakened, yes. However, one must start asking whether or not he can start fitting acessories or weapons into said piece of 'ware while keeping the Essence loss below 1.0.

sinsual · Post by **sinsual** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 8:52 pm

I don't want weapons, I want replaceable sliders so I can ride faster

Jesus Sin... wish I had read about this BEFORE you popped on IRC today since I would have given you my best wishes. I give them now and hope for a speedy recovery.

sinsual · Post by **sinsual** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 10:17 pm

now you understand why I said I might not be able to make it to Vegas

Moto42 · Post by **Moto42** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 3:48 am

I dunno about that, just think of the money you could make playing "Guess how many screws are in this elbow" for cash.

Brineshrimp · Post by **Brineshrimp** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 6:17 am

Sorry I'm getting to this one late. Hope for a speedy recover, Sin.

Just one question...do you make a cool "na-na-na-na-na-na-na" noise now when you move?

sinsual · Post by **sinsual** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 10:17 am

more like owfuck owfuck owfuck owfuck owfuck

Pretty impressively clean. Won't even be too much of a scar.

sinsual · Post by **sinsual** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 2:38 pm

to bad that in the middle of May he is going to cut it all back open for the bone graft...

Kitt · Post by **Kitt** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 9:23 pm

Well then, you do stand a chance at scarring. And since guys think scars are macho, and girls are apparently attracted to macho guys, think of all the girls you'll be bringing in...or something...
