Tales from today's commute....

[HLaB]

Just seen on FB that fossy has been knocked off his bike this morning and is on route to hospital, hope it's not too serious ​

Yikes, by the time I get to the end of this thread I hope @fossyant has fully recovered!
Edit: Feicking Hell, just read your posts @fossyant heal well and fast

Crap, just seen your update fossy, best of luck for your recovery.

 

[Spinney]

Broken multiple ribs. My L4 vertibrae has cracked clean in two. Fortunately it was still in line at the Hospital.

The muscle spasms and broken ribs hurt the most.

I have two weeks flat on my back before we see how it's knitting.

Despite being unlucky with another crash, I was apparently lucky I wasn't paralysed as my spine is in two.

Oh well, crap happens.

A friend cracked several vertebrae (plus cracked shoulder blade, few ribs etc) in a climbing fall. He spent more like 6 weeks flat on his back, and then had a month or so in a back brace that stopped him twisting his torso.

But the reason for saying this isn't to depress you with the time it may take, but to tell you that he has made a full recovery.

GWS...

Oh Lord you poor thing. Sounds awful, but as you say, it could actually have been worse and you will heal. The body is an amazing thing when it comes to repairing itself.

Sorry only just read this as I am not a commuter and only occasionally glance in here. All the best for a speedy recovery and keep your chin up.
