Fallen Mille Rider Discovered last week that Paul Valpy a former colleague who was made redundant about 8 weeks ago, and a fellow Mille owner has had a bad accident on his bike 4 weeks ago. He bought the Mille after listening to me enthuse. He broke several ribs, punctured a lung and severed the main artery in his arm. They were going to amputate the arm but managed to save it. They were in the middle of skin grafts when the poor sod has contracted MRSA. Therefore they cannot continue with the skin grafts. He is still in Intensive Care in Derryford Hospital, Plymouth. Although Paul lurked on here occaisionally I don't think he posted anything. I am unable to contact him but may pop in if I can get down to Plymouth. Hope he recovers soon. Think it will be a long rehabilitation. We had a spate of deaths a while back on the RSVR forum so take it easy everyone! |
