He's gone very quiet. I expect he doesn't have much time to come on the forum, the bins will need putting out, the car wants washing and there are 6-7 weeks of dirty pots to catch up on.......

If he uses a Windows computer in the house, it's probably still doing a gazillion pointless updates.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Sorry folks, been fairly busy sorting out the Police report and returns for my solicitors. Wife arrived from the hospital with a bag of drugs, which I'm only taking the anti-blood clot injections for another two weeks - my wife gets to shove them in my stomach every day . Got a supply of laxatives and morphine.

Can't say I need the laxatives as they filled me with them before leaving on Friday and I've been rushing to the loo (well rush would not be the correct word).

Still rather sore and my back feels like glass. Can't get comfortable, so I'm sleeping on the settee as my wife doesn't cope well with disturbed sleep.

He might get some nocturnal activity from Mrs Fossy , although his back and ribs might not appreciate it

My back won't be up for anything for a while.

The bike is still at my folks house. Been told not to fix or adjust anything for now.

Get yourself fixed first, then worry about the bike.

Other than that, leave it it the way it was after you were hit. Then do as you've advised many to do.

Well Police phoned back. Not going to prosecute, as the driver I passed said she had stopped for the car, so apparently it's ok for a driver not to check for filtering bikes (of any type).

The officer hasn't seen my side of it, hasn't spoken to the driver or indeed the officer at the scene who said the driver was clearly at fault and had admitted liability (he actually said he wasn't going to speak to the officer who was at the scene, Un bloody believe able. )

I'm going to leave it to Leigh Day to sort out as this should have been investigated 6 weeks ago by another Team. Bloody stinks, one lazy officer.

Been there, know how that part of it feels. I found out slightly quicker than you though. Address as given by the driver didn't sound right. Out with the A-Z and the phone book.

May sound daft, but any idea who made the actual call to the police/ambulance to report the incident?

 

[fossyant]

Think it was the lady behind me that had slowed at the junction for the car that called the ambulance. All she has said is that she had stopped for the car. It was stop start slow traffic anyway. I'd passed her then hit the car as it turned.

It's amazing how invisible cyclists are ?
