I Crashed Pretty Hard

I rode a new mountain bike trail today. I crashed on a 10 foot drop. I knocked the wind out of me, but I managed to hike the bike out of the woods. I drove to an urgent care, but vitals dropped and they sent me to the ER in the wee-woo wagon. I cracked four ribs, 3-6, with 3 broke in two places. The residual contusions and vitals require a 24 hr stay. Breathing is tough and shallow, but I'm okay. My shoulder and hip are just contusions. I won't be playing guitar tonight.

That's rough man. I've had a single broken rib before and can't imagine dealing with three.
 
Damn. I feel for ya.. About this time last year I crashed mine on the fish bowl at the skater park.
Thought I broke my collar bone. Couldn't raise my right arm over my head for at least a week. I gimped myself home with 1 arm because the other was useless.. Scary.. Extreme pain I never felt like I had a knife in my shoulder if I tried to lift my arm..
 
Man sorry to hear this . I did that once except when I fell my ribs hit a train track . Don’t watch comedy . It hurts fr to laugh . But I hope you feel better . You will because I found our Scott Stapp . No w the drummer

I'm up at UH. I just got a bed for the night.

I was riding Hampton Hills for the first time over by Blossom Music Center. I did a 10 ft drop and I favored the right side too much and landed on the berm. My bike kicked sideways and I went down like a sack of potatoes. I can barely move now. No clue how I hiked out of there.
 
Brutal brother.
Yeah I quit that type of stuff when I turned 40, five years ago. My body can't recover from injury like it used to. Then the injuries affect my other hobbies that I care more about for months afterwards, like fishing and playing guitar. I hate nagging injuries. Fuks with my long-term mood and quality of life.
 
Been there on a very similar MTB crash man. Broke ribs, wrist and finger. But it gets better. It gets better. Hang in there man.
