Calvin19 0 #1 August 18, 2015 Backstory: my mom is a nurse of ~30 years. I love my mom. Story: On a round trip ride from Glenwood to Aspen, Mom tried to take a divot out of a rock when she wrecked her road bike but instead the rock won and took one out of her arm. She could see exposed white, that she THOUGHT was fat. This was 20miles into a 90mile ride. Like the badass my mom is, she wrapped her t-shirt around it(she is still a nurse) and FINISHED the ride. She re-bandaged it at her hotel that afternoon. THE NEXT DAY she decided to go to the ER. Doc cut out the ragged tissue and t-shirt bits, now there is exposed bone (4cm) told her it has to wait for closing because of infection risk (ya think?) Tomorrow they are doing a nerve block and will try to clean it again and close as much as they can. This is +94hrs from the wreck. It's going to be a wicked scar as long as she does not die of osteomyelitis. Dammit mom. She gets 'disappointed' in me when I treat a cold with gatorade and rum.
