Does tapatalk preview show the last photo posted on a thread? I don’t want the graphic pics to show up in the feeds

This is probably the least nasty of the photos (apart from showing my face). This was 5 days after surgery and before necrosis set in. It’s going to get ugly from here so sensitive viewers be warned

Bliksem Jaco!!!!

Glad they were able to save your foot.

Insane how that happened, no one would ever expect that result from how you explained the incident.
I have always been pretty anal about atgatt, I have gotten slack with the pants bit of late but I recon I am going to start wearing my extra riding pants over my jeans from now on again

Holy shit Dwerg.

I wear my boots 95% of the time Only when I need to go to an event where there is no storage or something would I ware tekkies.
I wont wear tekkies like those though

It's more hiking tekkies but yeah. Hits home hard even at 30km/h hey?

Heal well bud.

ouch , sorry to hear mate
hope you heal well and fast

if its any consolation ...... your lucky you have small feet

Dwerg · « **Reply #32 on:** September 20, 2018, 12:11:21 pm »

And now for the gross ones

Heavily swollen foot with the cut made in theatre to relieve pressure

After surgery to mend the big toe

The degloving taken in ER. The surgeon later told me that his fingers could go in all the way to the other side of my foot and up to my toes

What it currently looks like

It’s fairly safe to say you won’t see me riding without boots for a long time

Hi Dwerg.I wish you a speedy recovery.I think you have done the right thing by posting these pics.I see too often guys wearing "Sneakers" or what ever you call them.You are not the first person who I have seen receive serious damage from not wearing boots.

Thks for the Heads Up

Best wishes
