Owwwwwwww! (not me this time though!)

I went to Esher Shore at the weekend with some mates for one of their birthdays, having a blinding time, sun shining, birds singing, riding going well, then BANG! We look over and one of the guys has stacked it big time in proper big faceplant style landing on roots. We run over to check he's ok, but unfortunately he ain't - blood pissing out of a cut on his nose and another on his forehead with what looks like a golfball trying to grow underneath it, also he was obviously concussed so an ambulance was called and we all lended a hand getting him back up the hill to the ambulance, who whisked him away to Kingston a&e.
Anyway, later on at the birthday piss up we hear back from the hospital, and he's got a ruptured spleen and they're wondering whether they need to remove it or not today...not looking very good though...

nice to know you all carried on with the birthday piss up, instead of wasting it sitting by the bedside of your servierly injured mate

Until he was told he was staying in hospital for five days at the very least, he was convinced he was coming to the piss up too! To be honest we just thought he was concussed, didn't expect him to potentially need an organ removed! Two mates did stay with him until his family got there though, we're not all uncaring bastards!

:shock: I reckon he should be good for a weight loss of around 0.44 lbs thats nearly 200g :shock: and it cost him nothing...
