Watch out for other cyclists

[Bianchi boy]

Sounds awful Anne, Hope you get well really soon,👍

 

[carpiste]

Take care of yourself and just get well before thinking about getting back on the bike, work etc.

 

[gavroche]

That really looks bad. Were you on a road or cycle track? I wish you a good recovery .

 

[Saluki]

Oh my word. You poor thing. I hope you heal quickly and feel better in yourself really soon.
How the hell did the other cyclist not see you?

 

[FishFright]

Ouch ! That looks painful.
Hope you're fixed up very soon

Was the other cyclist a head down speed merchant checking his Stava, or a member of the black hoodie brigade, balancing ciggie, beer and phone whilst shopping for pharmeceuticals?

 

[PeteXXX]

Ouch!! It's probably just as well that you have no memory of it, I reckon. You'll need a good while to recover fully from that lot!

What an impossibly random event! Usually if something happens you re run the events in your head endlessly to make sense of things but to just wake up and be told by others what happened takes away your starting point. You will have to relax and take things easy for a while, while things heal. Hope you're not too uncomfortable at present. GWS!

GWS!

If it's any consolation, I had a nasty RTA in 2018 that resulted in two broken neck vertebrae and fractured skull. By far the worst part was the frustration of being told to wait before getting back to being active again, it just dragged on foooorrreeeeevvvveeeerrrrrrrr! With hindsight, waiting and giving your body time to heal is by far the best option. Fitness can be recovered (not necessarily easily) but your body needs to repair first! I listened to my spine specialist and I think he was definitely more knowledgeable and experienced than me and gave good advice. By being fit and active you are at a massive advantage compared to the typical injury victim so with care and a prevailing wind you should make an excellent recovery and soon be wondering what all the fuss was about.
Keep your chin up, there will be times when the pain and discomfort seem too much, but even when your troubles have you awake at 3 or 4-o-clock in the morning there is always someone here on cyclechat you can talk to. Unfortunately it might be me working the nightshift...... but beggars can't be choosers

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Anne

 

[fossyant]

GWS. I hope the cyclist is insured.

 

[HobbesOnTour]

That's shocking.
Hope you recover fully.

 

[flake99please]

Wishing you a full recovery in the shortest possible timeframe.
