Zac Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I was outside skateboarding yesterday at about 3:00pm and my skateboard shot forward and I hit my head and neck on the cement. Now, you might imagine that there was a little blood...but there was A LOT! SO anyways, I had to ride in an ambulance to the ER and got 3 catscans and 12 X-rays....they put 24 stitches in my head and I have to wear a neck brace....the good part is that I dont have to stay at the the hospital but I ache all over....:sad02: Anyone have any advice or comments?

Dillon Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I have a comment That sucks. I hope your ok. *shudders* That horrible. Get Better. Quote
Meeptroid Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 It always makes me wince when I hear about or see someone get hurt seriously. Ouch! I've never had to get stitches but my brother had to a long time ago. My advice for you is to relax and take things easy... and to stay away from skateboards for a while. :P Quote
Arrogance Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 My only comment is... 3 catscans and 12 x-rays?! You oughta' be both radioactive and magnetic :P Quote
Zac Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 ACtually I was only supposed to get one xray and one catscans but they couldn't see me neck very well and the wanted to be sure, but its not broken..... an I WILL stay away from skatebords for a while..... Quote
Dillon Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I would stay away from them for until i was healed. Quote
Arrogance Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 But still, I mean _TWELVE_ x-rays... that can't be good, although a broken neck probably would be worse. Quote
Dillon Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 If you love something why stop doing it because of an injury. Quote
Meeptroid Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 If you love something why stop doing it because of an injury. Zac never said he was gonna stop skateboarding. Just keeping away for a while.... Quote
Ellie_Penguin Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Did you wear safety gear? If not then next time you should :(. Sorry about what happened. Quote
The Big Cheese Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 helmet? Dont x-rays cost quite a bit of money? Ive been lucky never to have stitches :yes: but ive always wanted to ride in an ambulance... Quote
Zac Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 YEs I did have a helmet on but i got hit right underneath it....just my luck.... Quote
Ellie_Penguin Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I don't think x-rays cost you anything at all if you have a good health insurance o_O. My sis has gotten it before and they didn't charge us anything. I almost got stitches once when I was little because I was chasing my sis around the house and then I crashed onto a window and cut my elbow. Luckily, my mom was able to heal it on time. I would've gotten stitches otherwise :S Quote
Foxy! Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Ouch, the only stiches type thing I've gotten is from where I bashed my head open on a table, long story, to make it short, the moral is laundry hampers aren't toys. But anyway they actually glued my head closed, very odd. Quote
Awesome_Paul Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 thats rough, TDN will have to make a soldier out of you :P Only stitches i had was when i was 1-2 (maybe older abit,i can't remeber how old i was but it was young) i was by a table with a fabric covering, and on the table, was a kettle with boiling hot water. I pulled the cloth and this kettle full of boiling water went over my stomach, Ouch o_O Quote
julie_kofoed1980 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Aw, sorry to hear that Zac... I think I have the longest file ever at the emergency room :P I've always been quite into horsebackriding, which can be quite a dangerous sport so I've got several broken limbs to show for it ;) Quote
.Dan. Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 What kind of brace is it? Is it just a plain neck-only brace, or one that has little bits pointing upwards and forms a square at the top? Quote
Lutarist Jake Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I feel sorry for you. I broke my arm before and it was real pain... Just imagine how pain it is if you hit your head... Quote
antiaircraft Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Ouch. Did they give you anaesthetic in the ambulance? I remember they gave me some on the way to the hospital. Quote
The Original Luna Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 My mum cracked open her head by falling on a concretestep. Had to have it glued. that was painful for her, but I guess this hurts more... Quote
bub156 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 one time i cracked my head when i fell on concrete on meh head :S eat your greens to get better :graduated: Quote
Lutarist Jake Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Really? Does eating vegs help you to recover from injuries? Quote
Chipmonker Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 You need to force yourself to eat veggies, therefore you momentarily forget the pain. However, I don't think I could ever prove that as I have never been in the emergency room. Quote
