Rebuilding muscle after surgery

[winz]

Hi All,

Been a little while since I last posted. Had a couple of life changing things happen these past couple of months. So thought i'd update and consult you wonderful lot about something..

Pretty sure a few of you 'orrible lot have have a few accidents in your time so here is a good place to ask.

This is the long part for all that might be interested. Last week I had an "episode" (read nightmare) and jumped over my girlfriend in the middle of the night and landed on a glass tumbler. Said glass went through my arm, hit an artery and I started pissing with blood. Being on holiday in the arse-end nowhere of Cornwall, it took the ambulance over an hour to get to me. Approx 2l of blood lost and a very bloody Airbnb later I arrived in Truro, got put under and stitched up. I was told by the paramedic that I wouldn't have survived if my girlfriend hadn't helped stemmed the blood-flow for the last 40mins as I couldn't hold the wound after the first 30mins due to nearly passing out.
So, my question is; with my very limited movement I have right now (my hand is fine and a dexterous as usual) how long does it take for this kind of injury to heal? I'm sure it's a case of how long is a piece of string, but is there anything I can be doing in the meantime before I have my stitches taken out?
Please excuse my grammar, still ploughing though the painkillers and I'm not 100% with it.
Oh and I'm going to be a Dad.

TL;DR
Cut my arm pretty bad, went through muscle, got limited movement and looking for any advise to help get myself back to normal.

Wait to speak to the Dr.

Any therapy just now should be rest and proper diet.

You can do a little bit to get dressed, wash etc but masturbation with the affected limb is off limits for now.

When stitches are removed they may begin physio. But up until then it's wait and rest.

Provided there is not am lot of nerve damage the muscle will repair surprisingly well.
Expect some discomfort/deep pain when they 'start to work on you' in physio.

Did you get your hole on holiday in Cornwall? Just for the record.

Having suffered a very bad injury to bone and flesh on my hand a long time ago , I can tell you it will be a long recovery.
DO NOT push it or it will all pop open and you will have to start again, I know.
You must let it heal first.

If your recovery is anything like mine.
You will have muscle wastage at first, along with weakness and reduced mobility.
Once it has healed , then you need to make a concerted effort to use it, and that will hurt.
My recovery took 2years before I was discharged from out patients.

My point being = don’t push it.

What they said (except MCN unnecessarily mentioning wanking. Was it your right arm BTW?) and...........

Congratulations on the little Winz

Yep, +1

I buggered up and had soft-tissue surgery on my shoulder last year and all advice was to immobilise and let it heal properly before doing any rehab; and even then only to do so under supervision (ie so you don't push it too far too early)

I learnt to wank with my left hand when I broke my right wrist.

It took a while to get the hang of achieving long, consistent strokes whilst I was, ahem, distracted but it comes in time.

Aaand this is why we all love BCF, a guy seeks advice following an horrific injury and it immediately turns to a mass debate about wanking.

Thanks all, coming your way.

Luckily I'm right handed when it comes to self relief. Need to start more of that so I don't get into any more trouble! But most other jobs I am left handed, so it's been a bit of a bummer trying to do things with my right hand.

Unfortunately being self employed I'm still trying to work, I can still use a computer and my arm is supported and still, without pain.

I've got an appointment with a nurse for the stitches, so I'll try and get an appointment with a doc to see what I can do about recovery.

Since hearing the news, the Blackbird is going to a new home and car purchase is imminent, but she's let me keep the Fireblade. Glad it's winter so I'm not missing out on much riding action...

Anyway, back the the matter in hand.

Did you know the term for being able to wank with both hands is ambisinister?

Hang on - you look nothing like your avatar?

I've found that pouring vinegar onto cuts heals them faster. NO DON'T!!

Great advice above. Remember to eat well because your body needs to heal itself. Most importantly is to stay positive and focused when injury happens. A positive mind can take you a long way.


Try a Marigold glove internally lubed and wedged between mattress and bed base. Kneel in front of and insert dick.
For extra frills turn Marigold glove inside out before lubing - the palm grips feel wonderful.

Did you get your deposit back for the airbnb?

So, now go and research up to date first aid for catastrophic bleeding and learn how to use a torniquet. Same goes for your gf. You could have died needlessly. (it's not difficult, If there is catastrophic bleeding on an extremity that you can't stop by direct pressure and you don't have any cellox granules, use a tourniquet. Leave it on until help arrives.).

Keep those fingers moving.

Tie something around the limb above the bleed, put something through what it is you're using as a tourniquet and then you can twist that to tighten the tourniquet?

[Fisty]

Is it your wanking arm?

Speaking from experience, DO NOT RUSH THINGS.

I am now waiting for another op on my shoulder after pushing things too hard after surgery.
Keep things moving but don't go daft until its healed.
