Got this from Nick - Yesterday I was in agony, there was hardly a place on my body that wasn?t sore and bruised, but the pain suppressors are doing wanders and this morning I am feeling a lot better already. It turns out that there are no bones broken, but all the tendons holding up the arm are torn off, which is what is causing a large bulge on the top off the shoulder which I thought was a bone sticking up under the skin. I will be seeing an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to hear whether they will need to operate or not. The Dr. that attended to me at Netcare says that there is some sort of artificial tendons they use to replace the torn ones. Please convey my thanks and appreciation to all the club members that stopped and helped, they were really helpful, and although I did thank the nature conservation guys who took me to hospital, I would like to to thank them again, so if could pass on a message to them as well I would appreciate it. I must say I am having serious misgivings about mountain biking, it seems I am jingked with MTB in that I either have bike problems as with the Oak Valley ride, then the first ride after the bike was fixed I have a spill which is most likely going to to put me out of action for several weeks. I had entered both the Knysna MTB & road rides now I will not be able to do either. We had booked at a lovely guest house on the Heads called ?House Hammond ? I have heard that accommodation is no hard to come by, so perhaps you could put out a circular that a room for two is available there. Apparently a massage for the ladies is is included, from their website the place looks fairly up market and respectable. Their web address is: http://www.househammond.co.za/ My cell is: 083077504501 Regards Nick
