Sunday Bloody Sunday....

[Becoming]

Had a good workout, it was a pretty good morning... got home and had a sandwich and other good stuff...

Went to jump in the shower and clean up - that is where it all went wrong...

We are in a new place and the tub bottom was slick... Slipped and fell, took out the shower curtain and landed on my ribs on the side of the tub (ouch, but all good now) my right foot flew up and smashed into the spout where the water comes out... Spout cut through the tops of my middle and 4th toes (not pinky) and I don't know yet if the toes are broken or badly jammed/dislocated... They bled a TON at first and didn't stop/kept restarting for a few hours at least, the bottom of the tub looked like in psycho - all filled with blood (blood in the water)....

They are about 75% purple today, all the way back to the foot and the cuts are still bleeding some when I try to walk around, though it is quite a bit less and some pretty good swelling... I still have feeling at the ends and seems that they are getting good blood flow so I am not freaking out about it... I think the 4th toe is badly jammed cause I can touch it but the 3rd hurts to touch and I think is broken... Can't really move them much, can hobble around a bit so I taped em up and went to the doc this morning...

He is sending me to urgent care thing this afternoon (I would have went straight to urgent myself but last time cost me 400 bucks so wanted to have him tell me to go there so insurance pays for it) I have to get a tetnus and prolly some x-rays there then meet him again tomorrow morning...

Maybe I will get really lucky and at least one or both will just be really jammed or just dislocated...

Don't realize how much you take walking for granted till it hurts so bad....

Got a PL meet 3rd weekend in July so this could be bad timing...

 

[BrandonXJ]

god damn dude.. hope your foot gets better.

 

[Buddy_Christ]

shed some tears and they'll give you good drugs.

 

[SoreArms]

That fucking sucks bro

I've had a fucked up ankle in an air cast for 2 weeks now, so I totally relate. Expect to be off your feet (and probably work) for atleast a week or two.

 

[perkele]

Ouch! I hope that PL meet wasn't your main goal this year.

brandon- thx man....

crak -maybe dude, i am really bad at weaking out or showing any emotion at all tho...

my foot was bleeding all over and my toes looked like hamburger and my wife is freaking out and I am like "hey can you get me an old towel so I don't get blood all over the floor?"

she was all upset and I was like "dude it is a freaking toe only"

sorearms- the will prolly give me one of those geigh ass footie casts... I am walking around today with my toes wrapped in guaze wearing a flip-flop on that foot (dress shoe on the other)... you can see purple at the base of the toes... I am hoping I get to the urgent place before it bleeds out the dressing I put on....

 

[Becoming]

yeah it was

luckily I don't need any freaking toes to set the state BP record...

squat and dl will be tough tho...

What were your records?

 

[Becoming]

What were your records?

it was gonna be my first meet bro... never lifted equipped before...

Will be benching first time with a shit in this meet...

I won't have my squat suit till after the meet - will have that up and running for a meet in NOV...

I am not spectacular by any means but I have a decent bench...
weighed in last weekend at 258... lifetime natty...
Recent bests (Raw)
BP: 460-465
SQ:570-575
DL:510-515

My squat and DL still haven't recovered from my college days (my best squat raw was right around in the 680-690)

I am hoping to hit a mid to high 500s bench in the meet (which could very well be bench only for me now)... I recently hit 530 and 545 tho I couldn't get em to touch yet (new shirt)... was going to go shirted BP, raw SQ and DL and get suited for the later meet...

state record is like 540 for drug tested single ply in my weight class in my state...

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

sorry bro, I hope you heal quickly.

 

[Buddy_Christ]

i'm tellin ya man, all you gotta do is sit there, wince a lot, squint a lot, and tell them how much it's throbbing and hurting and sharp pains. just act sad and depressed and they should hook you up. you don't have to cry like a little bitch, just give them puppy dog eyes and act sad.

bro, kick ass poundages. i think you got time to recover between now and the meet. follow doc's orders and you should be fine.

Mine records are SQ 230kg (518), BP 135kg (300), DL 275kg (608) in 82,5kg class (181lbs) but that's 10 years ago. That was all natural.

No bench press shirts.

 

[jh1]

Damn, hope you heal up quick... good luck at the meet.

 

[Becoming]

SF and JH1- thx dudes...

Crak- we will see what happens - I will be at the urgent care joint in an hour or so

Awesome man, that is a 3xbdwt pull bro..! yeah the equipment is a thing in and of itself - there was no way I was learning both the suit and the bench shirt in time for this meet...

I am more proud of the college lifts cause I only weighted 220-230 back then... first time I put up a 450+ bench I was only 215-220 and a soph in college.. those were the days.... hopefully I will be moving into new territory again soon....

 

[tiger88]

sucks about the injury

nice numbers though

I had a good DL. I really haven't trained much in years. I still go to the gym few times a week but I don't train seriously anymore. More coaching and guiding junior lifters and some light homo-fitness workout on the side. Few months back I tried deadlift and I still could lift 510.

I hear you bro - after college I was doing a lot of geigh stuff cause I don't know why... but hopefully I will get back to the top of my game...

figure I got a few more good years left...

 

[Scotsman]

Hack your fucking toes off with a chisel, while heating up and iron on the stove, cauterize the stumps rub some dirt on them and get back in the game.

Seriously though, best of wishes on your recovery and don't stress about the squat and dl just do what you can and still heal up. Even if you have to squat the bar on one leg so you can get the bench record, I'll still be proud of you, same with dl.

Cheers,

[Sub-Zero]

damn man that sucks, at least you didnt crack a rib though..

 

[Becoming]

Scots - I knew you would come back with something like that...
Sublime - That's what I was thinking...


UPDATE:

Good news- got x-rays last night... no breaks, no dislocations!

I do have a pretty serious sprain and jammed pretty good as well... doc said he thought they were broke for sure with the amount of internal bleeding that seemed to have happend (they are purple and gross extending into the top of the foot...) but x-rays say no, so he said I must have poped a ligament or two (which also made em so sore and not able to move) and a few blood vessels (the bleeding)...

Cuts could not be stitched cause they ran across the nails and also cause the delay in treatment, but should stop bleeding completely in the next day or so...

Doc was like- "Unfortunately it will take 2-3 weeks" and I am like "Dude as long as nothing is broken it is all good to me!"

Verdict: should be all good in about 2-3 weeks with RICE and a little non-straining movement to loosen em up...

So 2-3 weeks and it is on like donkey kong!

Yes but, you can adapt to kill them, as society has allowed the weak to survive alongside the strong.
