In hospital :(

[fossyant]

One of my club mates fell outside the cash machine whilst straddling his bike. Similar injury and actually rode home before realising something was bad. He was off for a few months - you need to give it a good 3 months for the bones to heal and harden. They regrow after about 6 weeks but are still soft.

I'm coming up to 3 months after fracturing my ribs and spine, so hope to get the all clear to start physio and exercising next week from the specialist. It's a waiting game, so listen to the docs. Get yourself mobile as soon as you can.

Have they said how long you will be in hospital for.

Get well soon.

 

[IBarrett]

Oh man, I really feel for you and I hope you get back on your feet quickly (if a bit gingerly)

 

[Shaun]

OUCH! Evil stuff - you're on the ground before you even realise you've hit it. Get well soon.

 

[Twizit]

Ouch. GWS

When you are ready, get in touch. I work 100 yards from the Lusso factory and will stroll down and get you a new pair of tights at cost, which is roughly half price.

 

[Scoosh]

That is awful (the falling off - not @Globalti's generous offer ).
I've been down on black ice and it not only hurts - it SHOCKS !

Hope the recovery goes well and take it easy ! Lots of opportunity for here too ...

 

[vickster]

Ouch GWS!

They cut my gore tights off too which I've not been able replace as not made anymore (I will at least get the cost covered when my PI claim eventually pays up)! I did manage to remove the winter cruisers while no medics were looking as they were much baggier! I was commando so another reason to leave the padded tights in situ!!!

Yikes, bad luck, Zeffer - GWS!

I crashed heavily 3 times in one winter ride due to black ice but got away with it. I have been very wary about riding in icy conditions since then.

 

[Oldbloke]

OUCH....nasty. GWS

10 miles in to my 100km I hit some black ice. Fell so quickly. Hip fractured in 3 places. Just had a plate fitted, so much pain. A week in hospital and up to a year to recover the consultant said. The bike is fine. Paramedic was a cyclist and looked after it. Won't be doing the 100km challenge now.

Get well soon fella.

If you ain't riding for a year, what size is your bike?

Only kidding, hope the recovery goes well.
