Hiya all, thanks Mike for posting up, very much appreciated. And thanks AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN for riding from Haywards 'eef to Tunbridge Wells hospital with a DVD selection, that's really appreciated too!
Well its day 23 in hospital and touch wood MRSA or the food hasn't killed me yet. I might even be let out in a week - or rather pushed out so someone else can use the bed! All of my metal work has been removed as Magnum says, as of last Monday and I've been using crutches pretty well (apart from one minor slip) for around 6 days now.
It'll be a month at least before I go back to work, I estimate 2-3 months before I can get a bike and that bike will be a Blackbird with any luck!
Still a bit painful, but the worst has past, thank god.
Thanks again for your support.
All the best,
Chris
