Firstly, sorry for not replying again sooner - I just wanted to forget about it all for a bit. Also, sorry for bringing another accident thread up to the front page (where has this recent spate come from? Are drivers aiming at cyclists without cameras or something?).
GWS Joe and don't sweat if you can't remember. Concussion is like that, some bits of the data get lost permanently when your brain gets powered off. I can probably total several days worth of concussion blanks!
I'm resigned to it not coming back to me now. I think the worst thing about it is not knowing if there was anything I could have done to avoid the accident, confounded by the
very vague witness statement - "I'm not sure whether the car hit him, he hit the car, or he swerved to avoid the car and came off".
Overall I'm improving - my grazing is healing nicely (though very itchily - grr), and the gash on my head is sealing itself up. I've had a pain in my shoulder which is recessing again now, though my left arm is still quite weak.
It seems that me and buggi had the exact same accident, as one of the memories that's come back to me is being put on the spinal board and I seem to have a concussion manifesting itself in much the same way
Bike is now in the shop being checked over, aluminium frame, so all seems fine but I don't quite trust it to not have any pressure cracks.
