Unhappy wait for me!

So, as I lay here in ward C6 of Nottingham's QMC with a broken femur, I am made even more miserable by the knowledge that I won't hammering around Donington with you guys at the end of March and may be lucky to be racing by the middle of the year! Still, titanium screws and plates are marvellous things, so fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear your laid up in hospital, bit nasty those Femur breaks.
Make sure you don't get Senna3 visiting you, when I broke my Femur many many years ago he along with other mates would come and visit me in hospital where I was laid up in traction for some reason they enjoyed swinging the traction weights back and forth.
Still traction didn't work so a K-mail was inserted.
Hope to see you out on track later in the year

Apparently, it was caused by a thigh bone to road surface interface proximity condition brought about due to the incompatible coexistence of ice and rubber silica compounds in a hard asphalt environment. Of course, being astride (temporarily) a human powered velocipede at the time was not a clever idea.
