Oh, he stopped.
By all accounts he was quite shook up too. Either by the smidsy, or the enraged cyclist suddenly hopping towards him. Ra ra ra slump, goes Andy.
The cctv would give me the key 5 seconds back, let me see who was where when the lights changed, who held what line as we turned.
If there are lessons to be learnt, I want to be sure I get access to the course materials. If this was avoidable, I don't plan to subscribe to a repeat performance.
If it wasn't avoidable, well... that's maybe another thing.

Glad to see you posting in one piece.... Is there another book in this?
With regard to the legals, here is my advice following my car kissing exercise a couple of years back. Get a personal injury lawyer on board asap, best through personal recommendation or CTC etc. Important also to start a pain diary recording both your physical and emotional symptoms with pain scoring. Photograph your injuries as evidence, and make sure you hang on to all the clothing and accessories you had with you at the time. Get receipts for taxis etc for visits to the hospital and any expenses incurred as a result of your injuries, as these can also be claimed.

Glad you are moving.
Get photo's of the junction (when you are able) and do it with traffic on, indicating positions.
For bruising, go get some Hirudoid cream or gel - it's very very good for dispersing bruises very fast. It's the replacement for Lasonil. I used Hirudoid stuff after my accident on hip, shoulder and arm bruising - works a treat.
Do gentle exercises to keep moving.

Morning Andy, I'll do your gentle exercises for you. You just put your feet up (you got a choice yet?) and take it easy. 
Do you think you might get charged with Furaious Cycling?

You know M, that you have the most amazing ability for at least some of your phrasings to go completely over my head? Congratulations!

A weird feeling, isn't it, having lost the memory of the critical moment?
Having been away, only just caught up with this. Take it easy and get back to normal soon.

Somebody has been busy with the yelow felt tip pen on those pics
When I had my off strangely enough there was no bruising for a few days and I could barely move my legs, then the bruises came out and I could move better; its hopefully a sign of recovery.
Here's wishing for a speedy recovery!
