Oooops..... (can I get a second opinion???)
 

Erm, I don't really know how to say this, but to avoid the major ****ging that must inevitably come my way for digging for sympathy please see the attachment!

Turns out the (very expensive) consultant I saw last week may not have been 100% correct. Close examination of all xrays by a shoulder specialist confirms that, while not perfect, my collarbone is certainly healing.... :o Yeah, I'm as confused as you! Still lots of pain but that's not uncommon and probably the result of a cyst. The consultants parting words were "I should get back on your motorbike now if I were you", so I will do!:D

In the last seven days I have received an enormous amount of sympathy/goodwill from everyone here and my family. I'm sorry if it's been a false alarm, and I'm gutted that I didn't race on Sunday, but thanks for all the good wishes. I hope I can pay you all back by staying sunny side up for the rest of the season....

Cheers,

Ali

i think its bollox.

if you say you cant race for the season they imho you shouldnt race for the season. none of this fannying about; no im not, yes i am, rubbish.

im getting fed up of people saying they wont be at meetings, raising my hopes of me moving up a place or two then deciding to join in again.

Fantastic news Ali.

By the way, can you tell me your mother's maiden name and credit card number? ;)

And what's all this "does not have private health insurance" malarky?!

Declined Analgesia :o:o:o:o:o:o Are you mad? Those drugs are fantastic - and you could have saved them for your next crash :devil::devil::devil:

I'm sorry, I'll get my coat, and see you at Assen :sing:

Brilliant news and I'd like my sympathy (such as it was) back too, please. Actually, pass it to Saara because she deserves it if you're now racing again :devil::devil:
