Hang in there Alan. Old bones take longer to knit. Sending our best wishes for a complete recovery.

Ah, there's the info. Follow doctor's orders is all I can suggest. Wishing you a complete recovery that allows you to ride soon!

Sorry to hear about your fall Alan, hopefully by the time you read this you'll be feeling much better and you'll be back on 2 wheels.

No such luck

It's two months since the accident, and I'm walking with a stick, but still got a bad limp, and I'm afraid I couldn't risk supporting the bike with that leg (with the other on the brake) However, I'm driving the car again, so at least I'm mobile. Looking on the internet, it says that full recovery is 4 to 6 months.

What kind of rehab to they have you doing for the muscles? Do you have daily exercises?

I don't want to push you, but I have some experience with this stuff.

I say you ride with crutches, problem solved!

Then he could wear this awesome patch with pride!

Alantf, you need a friend who would lend you a Ural sidecar rig.

How about one of these?

As for rehab.... at first I had a physiotherapist coming in three times a week, but at €30 ($45) an hour, that was $135 a week, which was a bit too much on pension. A couple of weeks ago I went back to see the doctor in charge of rehabilitation, who said he would arrange for me to go to the hospital for physiotherapy twice a week, but I've heard nothing more from him. Seems like they're more interested in people with private insurance than me who wants it doing on the national health service insurance. All I can do now is wait, but every day I try to do more walking to build up the muscles. Yesterday I walked down into the village to get our lottery tickets. Tough going, but if no one else is going to help me, I'm determined to do it on my own.
