GWS Vicster!

Still got the 'Hoy thigh', I see.

Every cloud ...

That's not my thigh, knee is just at top of shot...that's my calf

Do still have some quad muscle, need not to lose it or even walking up leith hill on August 10th will be a challenge

 

[Scoosh]

Oh - I see - real sprinter's calf muscles !

 

[vickster]

Well I am now in hospital again, awaiting IV antibiotics and surgery tomorrow. Feel rotten. Bloody marvellous. I am rethinking my ambulance chasing...

 

[Cuchilo]

Oh no ! Sorry to hear this

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

so sorry to hear. Best wishes and please get well soon!

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Sorry to read this @vickster, my best wishes for a prompt recovery

 

[Gravity Aided]

Get well soon, @vickster !

 

[Kiwiavenger]

Get well soon @vickster.

Don't feel bad about logging a claim, it's what the insurance is there for, now if you where claiming for whiplash and where back cycling within 2 days then you would deserve a slap.

Keep us updated!

Vickster appeared briefly on facebook - post op. Mostly saying "ouch". I gather the operation went well.

X marks the spot, recovery day 1...aim Ride London

 

[Cuchilo]

I was going to ask about ride London but didn't want to incase it put you on a downer . Glad you are using it as a get well goal

 

[vickster]

Will just have to see what the medical advice is (especially as the surgeon mentioned bone work may be needed but was too groggy to ask him after) and how it goes, but it's still 5 months away, so not going to bin it off yet

Belgium tour will need to be postponed assuming @jefmcg ever wants to ride with the cursed one again!

 

[Cuchilo]

You need a theme tune for your training , im sure the residents of south London will be just as encouraging when they see you

 

[vickster]

Lol...If they don't bloody knock me off again! I won't be riding in the dark in the rush hour from now on
