The Weight of a Millimeter

A distracted driver, a motorcycle crash, and the terrifying wait to see if I would ever walk again.

@stefano Doctors remaining vague … I made that experience, too (different case, but still), and I hate it. I always want to know what's going on.

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@atarifrosch I agree, but sometimes they don’t really know.

[atarifrosch@mastodon.de]

@stefano Then they could tell that (but they often avoid to admit that).

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@atarifrosch True…

@stefano
Dude, your blog has very emotional stories. Happy that it ended well in this case.

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@kinghaunst Thank you, Rainer. I'm trying to express my feelings, my memories, my points of view. Sometimes, they're emotional 🙂

@stefano You’re a lucky guy, Stefano, that could have turned out a lot worse. Thanks a lot for sharing such personal stories, still trying to avoid that in my blog.
You still use a scooter?

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@Linkshaender Thank you. No, not anymore. But not because of this accident: when I moved away from Bologna, I almost stopped using it (except when going to Bologna) and finally sold it in 2014.

@stefano I see. Well, anyway, next time I’m taking the Vespone on the road, I will have your blog post in mind. I’m always assuming everybody else is driving careless, but you never know. OTOH, I feel safer driving in Italy than here in Bavaria…

@stefano I read that without any break, it's such an intensive text. And I know that feeling well when you understand more about life in a hospital.
I'm happy that it ended well!

[afb@mastodonapp.uk]

@stefano I'm glad you recovered well. I have a similar story – not as well written, though! Did you ever get back on a bike?

[bsdtv@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@stefano you were very lucky my friend and the community has been benefitting from that good luck with your participation and health. Glad we will be seeing you in Ottawa for @bsdcan

@bsdtv @bsdcan thank you, my friend!
