GWS Steve.

That's impressive damage to that finger!

Just caught up with that - that is a serious ouch. I'm still cringing.

Liked the reaction of the kids though.

GWS.

Last time I visited Ron Cooper's workshop (about 3 years ago) I was told that he still dabbled a couple of times a week. Mind you, would you want a frame built by an octogenarian? $:-\$

Presumably if you'd been unfortunate enough to loose a finger, you'd have been an incomplete tosser, then?

On the other hand, had Steve ended up deficient in the digits department, no-one would ever be able to call him a complete idiot ever again.

Joking apart, compound fractures always get full-scale deflection on the cringe-o-meter...

GWS dude.

GWS Steve,

Its a good job you've got fixed nuts

Mrs Pingu · « **Reply #80 on:** 26 November, 2009, 08:34:32 pm »

Late to this thread, I can only say 'bleuch'.
Hope you heal quickly though

Another latecomer (oi!) - GWS FWN

I note in your avatar that you're using your right hand

Zoidburg · « **Reply #82 on:** 27 November, 2009, 05:40:20 pm »

I noticed on the right hand x-ray that you have something small embedded in your hand.

How's it going today Steve?

How's it going today Steve?

OK, still stiff, hand is all sewn up and in plaster cast and sling after yesterdays operation, legs are easier uncomfortable but useable to hobble around.
Right hand swelling has gone down but still a weak grip "Rogerzilla NO

"

Thanks and to others who have e-mailed and texted

I phoned CTC RJW line today to set the ball rolling and I'm keeping receipts of train/cab fairs incurred etc, hope to retrieve the bike and get that assessed.

I'm late to the party (again) so I'll just say GWS to the bike.

And FWN of course

Rich753 · « **Reply #90 on:** 28 November, 2009, 09:22:02 pm »

I'm late too, so just all the best and hope you heal well

Owww - looking at the X-ray and pics. Hope you heal soon, and are back on a (fixed) bike soon.

Here you go Kirst

I had this removed today and two small splints put on so I can do physio excercises.

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #94 on:** 01 December, 2009, 07:28:59 am »

Excellent bruises!

A barrel of arnica is on it's way Steve,..........................or would you prefer bitter?

A perfect excuse to do stop-motion bruise-fade film!

Bitter of course sir

One of my cycling mates Dan brought round a very nice bottle of Highland Park and a get well card signed by loads of people last night.
"for medicinal purposes only of course"

I did one, well sort of, just four photos, one a week. Some professor got ahold of me to get permission to use them in lectures, and then later in a book.
