I was under the impression the rod stays in, unless there are complications. Hope so as I want to get on with some physio. I've also got ligament damage in the knee. Can't spell crushiat so I'll stick with ligament for now. When do you think physio will start Ducnow? Am I being unrealistic? Not been counciled on it yet so really don't know the POA.
Weeian I remember everything. Except the few seconds between hitting the front corner of the tanker to hitting the ground. Everything either side of this I remember.
Hitting the gound and rolling so fast I thought I'd never stop. Realising I was still alive, checking I still had my limbs and then the pain kicked in. Guys I was riding with refused to come over initially as they thought I was dead then when they realised I wasn't didn't know what they would find.
I'm with Norwich Union so just call me lucky! |
Weird that! I had the same experience when I fell off earlier this year on the continent negotiating a rather nasty hairpin in the French Alps.
Anyway, I remember everything apart from the second or so when it all went t*ts up. Can remember clearly the sliding across the road and hitting the bank on the other side thinking - phew Im glad nothing was coming down the other way! But ask me what happened at the crucial moment and Im completely blank, must be to do with shock.
Sorry to hear of your accident stu and hope you make a full recovery. I still love riding despite my spill and time in hospital etc and if anything its made me a better rider...
Im sure you'll feel the same when you get back in the saddle.
