Damn man! I was just being a mopey bitch compared to your thing. Just got home from a concert, so my night ended on a high note. How long is your recovery going to take? You might start feeling the weather like me.

I'm using a walker right now and walking is quite painful.

I hope they gave you good meds.

Who was playing at the show? It's all relative you know. Sometimes mental distress can be worse than physical pain. Seeing your lower leg dangling and bending at the half of the tibia is freaky enough. This guy just took it upon himself to move the power jack out of his way although he had never operated one before. I didn't faint thankfully but I had to wait an hour and a half for the ambulance while a puddle of blood was pooling around my foot.

I was given plenty of hydromorphine at the hospital and the paramedics had me on ketamine. Free drugs! In all seriousness though, I'll file for worker's comp and I am looking at my options to pursue litigation against the company the temp agency assigned me to. So many safety violations... I knew it was only a matter of time before something serious would happen. And it had to happen to me. I'll need to do some physiotherapy and there's always a risk of serious infection and blood clots. Thanks for listening man and keep your chin up! I'm gonna it the bong now.

Ooof. Sorry to hear that. Hope your recovery is fast and as flawless as possible. You might want to consider working on a new roadmap for your future, in the short, medium, and long term. Shout out if needs arise and maybe we can help.

Thanks man! My mobility will be drastically impacted for the next weeks so it'll be a good time to reconsider things and see where I go from here. I'll have plenty of time to play guitar and improve my skills somewhat.
