His temperature is normal, been Nil By Mouth since 03.00. I have urgent dental appointment at lunchtime then going to push Charlotte around the park to give Katie a rest.

Very sorry to read this and its shame this happens in society.
Wishing him a fast recovery.
Lets hope what goes around for the driver, comes around to him. Personally I have 0 tolerance towards driving under the influence of drink or drugs. In my opinion, the only way to stop people behaving so recklessly is to have 0 tolerance and bring back medi-evil punishments. (Before anyone says that's harsh, I have lost a family member who was a passenger when a car coming the otherway mounted and crossed a central reservation off a motorway slip road, crashed into my relatives vehicle. The offending young lady driver was drunk and our relative died a few hours later in hospital from the injuries despite being air lifted to the hospital.)

He's out of surgery and had food and drink. All being well he will be out tonight.👍
Katie informs me it was only his second ride outdoors since Charlotte was born in November, his first this year. He cut his ride short to get home to Charlotte. Life is full of ifs and buts.

Any word from the five-0 about the ne'er do well that wiped him out? We can but hope he resisted arrest and they had to light him up a few times.

Back home, bandages on all four limbs but all in one piece.
Thanks to you all for your kind words.
Will post when we hear of any prosecution.

He contacted the driver's insurance to find that the driver has not reported the accident. When informed that the driver had been arrested at the scene the insurance company replied that they usually don't. Claim for new bike and damaged kit submitted.
At least the driver was insured.
If it's not too late, from past experience I'd strongly recommend employing the services of a dedicated cycle-accident specialist / solicitor.
I was hit some years ago through no fault of my own and due to the attitude of the woman who hit me, went through a solicitors recommended by the shop repairing the bike in order to get the cost of the work covered.
Not only did I get the repair cost sorted but upon the advice of the legal team also got a good few quid in personal injury compensation for what amounted to no more than cuts and (pretty nasty looking) bruising.
It's a bit of a scummy game but we're all (well mostly) paying for this claim culture when we buy our car insurance, so might as well take our pound of flesh when it's legitimately owing.
I hope it all pans out for the best

And injury too I hope - although he has 3 years to do that (but best to engage a solicitor asap as these things can take a looooong time as no settlement should be made until he is fully recovered)

Are you happy with the outcome? And have you recovered? The report says you're doing well.

Not me, my son in law. He is not yet 100% still has a numb leg and quite bad scarring. He won't go on his bike alone anymore. He does Zwift and goes out with a mate when he can. Shame, he was a good club Rugby player in his Uni days and has completed several Triathlons up until the incident.
