Arm or wrist? I shattered my wrist at the track in early august... Painful as fuck and still almost no mobility in my wrist despite 3x physio per week. I feel depressed because there are so many things I still can't do on my own.

How'd it happen?

in these pics you can see where the metal plates are for the 3 broken bones. all those lines on the sides are staples holding my skin together



what worries me the most is my job. i work as a mechanic so i have no idea yet how this injury will affect my career...as of now im off work for 6 months

as for how it happened

low sided halfway through this right handed curve. bike was already inches to the ground but my overconfidence thought i could still increase speed (for anyone that knows parc de la mauricie you know some of the curves are never ending and you can keep going lower and lower) anyways slid off to the left, thru the barrier and into the trees somewhere

 
On brighter side of things, my GF passed her closed circuit this week and we are shopping for a CBR/Ninja 250 this week-end. One will hopefully be added to my stable before Sunday (so we can go ride Monday).
 
Is your radius fracture intra articular? I don't want to be a bummer... but buckle up because the recovery will be slow and painful. also pray for no nerve damage.

You'll be happpy uou were paying those high insurance cost at SAAQ every year. They will take good care of you.

In a year or two when it's all said and done you will most likely get a nice check as well depending of the long term damages you have (scars, lost of mobility, etc...).

I have nothing but good things to say about the SAAQ following my wife's accident 3 years ago.

PS: SAAQ will pay for your damaged gear as well.

He got his first check from the SAAQ. In a few weeks. They will start paying him 75% of his income while he cant work. They they will pay part of the physio and all of the medication as well. At the end of it all, based on the final report of the doctor, he'll get a check to compensate for the long term damages he suffered.
