Social influencer Erna Husko’s bike ride to work got a surprising turn last Friday when Husko suddenly crashed. As a result of the fall, Husko was taken to the emergency room by ambulance.
Husko tells Iltalehti that he had no helmet in his head. He was diagnosed with a concussion. In addition, he had asphalt rash and wounds in his hands, fingers and lips.
– At that time, it was wondered if the stitches would be put on the lips, but then they decided to glue, the influencer says.

Due to the concussion, the Husko had to be observed for the first six hours to keep him falling asleep. The influencer says he is doing well at the moment, but the accident scared him.
– Fortunately, it didn’t happen. Note that after receiving a concussion, it takes days to recover. If it had been even worse, the recovery might have taken months, he says.
Husko still feels pain in his hands due to asphalt rash and deep wounds.
– Now they have to be cleaned. I removed the wound tape on Saturday, and I let the wounds get oxygen so that they do not go to rot, he says of the care instructions he received.

According to Husko, wounds are currently affecting his work and basic everyday activities. The influencer says he may have difficulty in dealing with everyday things for a few weeks.
– I can’t take a shower normally. Someone has to wash my hair and I can’t wash my face normally when there are these lip tape, Husko says.
– I have friends who have been washing and helping me. I also have a cleaner who cleans up in my home, which is fortunately a facilitating factor. I particularly appreciate all the help, he says.
Husko believes that he will take a lot of time that he will rise again to the bike’s saddle.
– At the moment it seems like a distant idea. I am such an accident anyway-it always hurts and happens, just the same where I go. So maybe I will leave cycling at least for this summer. Maybe next year, the influencer ponders.
-I’m 27 and I can’t park and I don’t drive a bike either. I’m probably walking in my helmet in my head, he laughs.

Husko recently said on Instagram that he had received messages in which people questioned his need for ambulance and on call. At that time, Husko said that the situation had assessed the need for an ambulance. He also reminded that it is difficult for an outsider to start speculating the situation.
Now, Husko also says it is important to talk about the fact that an ambulance can also be invited to the scene even when he has hit his head or have a concussion.
“You don’t have to go to the coma that you can call an ambulance,” he recalls.
In the end, Husko hopes that his accident will be a reminder to people using a helmet.
– Always check out how to use bikes or scooters. Also use a helmet. If you are not sure about something, don’t do it. Be careful, he urges.
