Yep All my clothing. I tried to explain it will need to come down so I can inspect any clothing for damage, but it's all in the loft
My claim will just have to go in as TBA. Don't even know if there is any damage to the helmet, but considering they should be replaced that will go in as an item. I can only really think of scuffing to the jacket, bibs, and the overshoes, but I don't know if they made it home as we're removed in the ambulance and hospital. The long sleeve merino was cut up the arm so might make a short sleeve one
Picked up a new turbo from Halfords sale but my sister has hold of it for now as she lives near by.
Getting bored out of my skull.
Slowly reading some motivational book by Steve Peters who apparently worked with many top riders, but full of morphine does not make things easy so only really getting into it. It's generally about how your brain reacts, the emotional chimp or the more rational human and about managing it.
Struggling badly with sitting still 5 weeks has to be some sort of record breaking challenge but I've had/got plans about getting to work and still exercising without killing too much family time
Ask for early starts, less traffic and home early. Then either quick hour in gym, a 39 min turbo session or a quick MTB blast off road as it will still be rush hour. Weekends I can be up and out for a hilly 39 miles before the kids surface at 11.
In the mean time, listen to the doc, get as much physio as I can, and see about using the turbo towards the end of the body brace period as I will still be off work.
Initially it will be little walks up and down the road as my back and legs are like jelly. Goal is to make it to the coffee shop.
Will also ask about what I can do in the gym with low weights with the brace on
Sleep patterns are up the shoot as there are patients that are disturbing everyone
Xray tomorrow 29th so crossing my fingers it's good news and I can escape. But bearing in mind it may be longer It's been hard seeing all friends and family having a great time whilst I've been bored stupid.
That said, a few bargains secured on the Web.
New Elite turbo trainer for £40.50 from Halfords, new genuine Samsung Tab2 case for £5, SD cards for my son's new camera at a good price, and best of all a SanDisk 960gb SSD for £140 (normally about £220) but all paid for by vouchers from work colleagues and family. Oh and my fried will be told I got the turbo cheap so that should relieve him a bit to pay me back.
The only other advantage is I saved a fortune over Xmas, no parties to attend, no beers etc. Even managed to get my wife 6 magnums of prosecco before I got squashed. Looks like I'll save a fair bit going forward too depending on meds and how long I am off work as I won't be able to drive.
Just got a couple of pressies to get for my wife after Xmas but she really wants a new compact camera. The other is a few years old but was a replacement for one that broke and doesn't work like the other. Massive changes since with wifi connectivity etc.
timing things carefully and only posting just before the next dose is due ?
