Smacked a freaking deer this morning. I live in Boise, hit this guy in Sisters, Oregon.
Ribs # 3, 4 and five broken.
Broken scapula and punctured lung.
They keeping me overnight to watch the lung leakage.
Hit that bastard at 65 mph.
Lucky to be around, I figure.

Damn, sorry to hear.
Forest rats love jumping in the road at the most inopportune times.
I hope you have someone around you at home that cares enough to make you laugh...and cry.
Rib injuries are painful.

Rest up with the good stuff there at the hospital while you can.
 
Hope you heal quickly... Rib injuries suck. Small puncture, or they would do the chest tube, assuming you don't have one?
 
Thanks for the well wishes everyone.
Yeah, no chest tube i've had one of those before.
As far as gear goes, I was wearing everything luckily. My helmet didn't fare too well. I will send pictures of that. Maybe.
Dreading the drive from bend oregon, back over to boise today.
Maybe oxy and some beers, ha ha.
 
Based on the length of those shadows, looks to be pretty early in the morning - one of the reasons where I am I wait for morning to break fully before heading out (those fuckers love dawn and dusk).

Hope you heal up well and that the deer found the peace it was looking for.
 
Sorry to hear this, hopefully you heal quickly. Your bike is toast, what bike will you get now?
