broben my hip today

[HLaB]

Ouch mark, get well soon!

 

[markg0vbr]

I broke mine following a fall when I was out riding in early Oct. By late Nov, I was on the turbo and hit the roads at the start of Jan. It is still a bit stiff and I can feel it first thing the morning. But, the exercise helps and I have checked my programme with the surgeon.


Good luck to you, the repair will come, but it is a slow process and demands some patience. Watch the crutches in the wet on shiny floors. On the upside, you did not break it during perfect cycling weather, so you can have a good excuse for not battling with the cold, the snow and the rain.

i have had two bolts put in but will be two weeks befor i know whether it has worked if not it will be a hip replase ment

one thing about the trike you can do very slow low impact riding less stress than walking i am going to bikerightat the end of april i hope if i can drive the car

Indeed, and most people think you are disabled (I mean 'one', not you specifically) if you ride a trike, so having a stick strapped to the rack for use when walking won't look odd!

On how many wheels ???

Hope the rest of your recovery is as quick (and as painless as the drug-induced posts would indicate

!)

He meant that when he moves his hand in the air, it appears that a rainbow is following it.
Made perfect sense to me.

Edit Just read his first post, I can see where confusion might arise.


Mark, I hope you make a good recovery.
