In hospital :(

[Zeffer]

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.

Had to cut my Lussos off!

Sorry to hear that. I would say get well soon, but it sounds like 'soon' could be a long time.

Ouch!

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

....Is 'Lussos' a euphemism?

Oh dear, I hope the meds kick in to reduce some of the pain.

That's a bummer. Sorry to hear.

Thanks folks, hard to sleep so great to have a forum. Lusso tights had to be cut off. The paramedic flinched as he realised they are not cheap.
