I got splattered by a car. Express delivery to Resus, 2 badly broken vertebra and 4 ribs. Long hospital stay, very long recovery.
Still here, still riding.

Was it that long ago ? Glad you're still riding. Hopefully no long lasting effects.

I too am surprised that 5 years have passed! Mind you, the damn Covid-19 thing has already been going over a year now***. It is amazing and scary how quickly time passes...
Keep riding, and keep avoiding mad drivers!
*** Chinese media reckon that the first case was spotted in Wuhan on November 17th 2019, although the Chinese government didn't announce the threat until some time after that.

Almost 5 years ago since I got smashed to bits as well. Still in pain some days but otherwise OK.
Glad to know it hasn't put you off.

I started doing a bit of road again in September in North Wales (quiet roads) but have obviously lost my marbles as I am MTB'ing and I've got the hang of gnarly stuff. I find the rocks and trees slightly less unpredictable than car drivers.
Still get some back pain, but that usually goes with getting bashed about on the MTB. I only have half my L1 left, so instead of a square, it's a cheese wedge. The expensive mattress worked wonders, as has 'time'.
I have a few people, including a couple of frum members, who saw how off my head I was on morphine - I think that's obvious on the original thread @potsy posted about me getting squished.
Can't fault the NHS during my 42 days in hospital. I did manage to 'walk' out after 42 days in bed.
