It's healing nicely. A bit tight but scabbed over and not really noticeable.  :thumbsup:

Ever the sartorial one, I've somehow managed a pinstripe  ???

Is "Macbook Air in panneer" a culinary delight we can look forward to at Watlington or Long Itch?

Home after the accident! by -menthel-

Hit a van that came out of a side road. Face a mess and a couple of stable vertebral fractures for 12 weeks in a collar!

Apparently the bike doesn't look too bad. Haven't looked at it yet as the collar is somewhat restricting! Will have it looked at by condor once I am a bit more with it!

The result of going over on ice at walking pace in January.
Screwed back together with lots of expensive screws.
Back on the bike now but still about 10% off pace.
Walking only possible with a crutch. Likely to be a good few months before unaided walking will be possible...

Oh crumbs, Menthel and PDM. They both look rather drastic! Get well soon, both of you.

Nice metalwork PDM!  Sorry to hear you're still rather mobility-limited by it, hope that continues to improve over the next few months.

Menthel, sorry to see your modelling career is on hold.  Heal well.

pdm, hope you regain mobility quickly and completely.  You need to get back to showing Sheffield's hills who's boss!
Getting there...

Mate gambled at a crossing, cabbie hit him in an MPV at about twenty, doctor at A&E popped his collar bone back otherwise it would have needed pinning. Cabbie asked if he was ok, my mate said yeah, adrenaline was running but it was 50/50 anyway.
