The not too serious get fit thread

[SheMonster]

Sorry to hear about Dave's crash.   

Heal up quick. 

SM, be a good nurse.   

I plan to go pick up one of those "naughty nurse" outfits to help take his mind off the pain when I have to change the bandages

wow, im sure i speak for a lot of people on here - "feel better, and lets find the other guy....grab your pitchforks!"

The guy who caused David (and another rider) to go down wasn't hurt too badly and didn't even stick around, just got up and continued his race

Wow, dont worry, karma will catch up to him.....he'll prolly get herpes or something

So VERY sorry to hear about your pavement surf, Dave!!!  I know how much you guys were looking forward to this event.

Track down some Tegaderm, in the largest patches you can find. Once the road rash is THOROUGHLY cleaned, apply a patch over the rash. Don't use antibiotic creams or anything that will inhibit the sticking of the patch. Tegaderm will keep the wound from scabbing over, allowing much faster healing. The wound stays moist which looks really, really disgusting, but is much more comfortable & promotes faster regeneration of skin cells. I've dealt with my share of road rash (I was going to say more than my share, but I guess I earned every square cm of it), and Tegaderm promotes much faster healing and is much more comfortable than any of the other half dozen or so methods I've tried.

Once the road rash is THOROUGHLY cleaned ...

Oh, yes the rashed parts (back of hands, fingers, forearm, knee, the sides of both hips, back, and shoulder blades) were very thoroughly cleaned.  The nurse who did it was as gentle as she could be and still get the job done.  All I can say is, wow, that process is ... rough   I'm sure David has a bit more to say on that subject.

Thanks for the tip on the Tegaderm, we will definately look into that!

Sorry to hear about the incident.

Unfortunately, in rides or races with that many participants, it happens.  And also just as unfortunate are riders like the one who hit MonsterDave and just takes off who give cyclists a bad name.  Karma will catch up with him someday.

Heal up quick, MD. 

[DesmoLu]

oh no, Dave down! Heal up fast and sorry about that rogue cyclist!

SheMonster, sounds like you're taking good care of him and the nurse outfit is a nice touch. Whatever you do, don't take any nursing tips from El Matador. He thinks electrical tape is good for scabs...

[TiNi]

get better soon dave 

[Randimus Maximus]

I'm bored.

The dog is sleeping.

I think I'll go to the gym.

[DesmoLu]

Aw man! Poor Dave. I hope he feels better soon.

How do you get in a fight at the gym?

Actually ive had people try to "steal" machines from me or be rude in the water line. Oh and spinning class they are ruthless, better get your bike early.

How do you get in a fight at the gym?

You've not met DesmoLu, have you?

[DesmoLu]

You've not met DesmoLu, have you?

ok, so conflict avoidance is not in my skill set...

I may have told a woman that was trying to steal my machine with the excuse of "trying to stay warm" that she "looked to be perfectly well-insulated to me." *MAY* have....

MD & SM,

Sorry to hear about the accident, being there myself.

Just relax, don't move abruptly and let time take care of everything, including 'ill feelings' for the guy who caused the accident.

Once winter is over, get on your motorbikes and ride 'em like you stole 'em ...

Gospeed and get well soon!!!
