Scan my cat.......



Well it's been 2 weeks since my motorcycle accident and I finally went ot the Doctor. In the past few weeks I was using a cane to hobble around. The knee has almost healed up from the road rash. My hand is also healed up. My heal still hurts but it is a whole lot better. Now comes the belly.... at first it hurt from where the handle bars hit it. Then it had some swelling that soon developed. That developed into a swelling that is about the size of an orange. The swelling is kinda like a waterbaloon that is under the skin. -- The Doctor said it may me either a hernia or just a hematoma , but I needed to go have a cat scan done. The only time that was open that day was at 9:30. When I got there they loaded me in to the machine and injected me with Iodine. My body came over with a warm rush. the in about 10 minutes it was over. The Dr called me from his office and told me that it was just a Hematoma. The blood will be reabsorbed in to my body inside of a month or so. They cam not drain it because if a vein is/was torn I could still bleed a little. ..... Well it looks like I will not be riding this year. I will now be able to put the bike up for storage. ... Sad about that but happy that I will not need surgury for a hernia...
