An Autumn run in the Sperrins

[themoudie]

Aye SteveP, thank you for message of support. Already zimmering round the ward under my own steam, with nurse holding the back of my gown to reduce my "exposure"!😆 Physio likeĺy to inflict excersies on me later on today😕.
Good health and my regards, Bill

Blimey, that's a bugger. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Bill...

[themoudie]

Thank you crazyfrog,  it seems my recovery is good enough for me to be let loose on the world, tonight! I don't really believe it myself, Rossi watch out. 😉
My regards, Bill

Excellent news Bill. Keep up the good work 
p.s. Could people I know, please stop crashing off their bikes 

[Smithy]

Sorry to hear of your accident Bill and hope your recovery continues to go well. I'm afraid there are a lot of drivers out there who are busy and thinking about their next work appointment and not the road around them. I hate to say this but I've also experienced a lot of young women in powerful cars who from their road positioning clearly have little idea how to drive them. I've been squeezed out of my lane and overtaken badly on more occasions than I wish to recall.

Tim I intend to honour your request and not crash any time soon!

Aye Ian, thank you for your commisserations and wishes for a speedy recovery, it is the general chitchat on here and the kindness of others after one of these incidents that raises the spirit. Fortunate times in many ways.

However, I would just like to say that "I didn't crash"! 😉 My passage was impeded, the "right" or "wrongs" of that impediment have yet to be decided!😑
My regards,Bill

Good luck with that too Bill! Nearly 18 months after a similar incident which resulted in a severe AC joint separation in my right shoulder, and my bike been written off, I've seen not one penny in compensation and my insurance premiums have doubled. This is despite the fact that I have a Police Incident Report which clearly states that the driver of the car that did a 'u' turn in front of me without looking was at fault......

[themoudie]

Aye crazyfrog, I shall bear that in mind. Just had a District Nurse in as one of dressings had gone wet and leaky!😯 However, underneath appeared to be all OK. The nurse went to school with our daughter in the village, so there was a wee bit blather!😊 "What goes around, comes around" in the most unexpected ways.

Off for wee rest, now.

My regards, Bill

[timbo]

Yes, much apologies. "Crash" was definitely the wrong turn of phrase. Altercation, incident, would have been much better.

[themoudie]

No need for apologies Timbo. It's the beauty of our language!😊And we would be all the poorer without its flexibility and inuendo.

Another day and making progress, so can't be bad.😆

Good health and my regards, Bill

sorry to see you were hurt bill i hope you have a speedy recovery ,half the car drivers here are on the phone they have,nt a clue whats around them  tommy

[themoudie]

Aye Tommy, thank you for your good wishes. I don't think a mobile was involved on this occasion. From what I have gleaned so far, a busy young woman, seeing my braking space, in my que of traffic, as an opportunity to gain access to where she wanted to be!😨 My left hand shoulder check for Kat and cyclists, probably prompted her manoeuvre that proved pain full.

The soft tissue damage, is as always, the sore part along with the bruising "coming out"😢. The moving of the leg from the horizontal to the verticle and then the 20m "hop" through the house, down a 7cm step, then up a 15cm step, to get to the loo is brutal at 04.00am, with a full bladder and the senna tablets kicking in!😲

My regards, Bill
