I am back!!!! there is some tingling in my fingerlings!! I can make a strong fist but not open it yet. Recovery has started, got some hand exercises to do. The radial head had to be replaced.

Eddy Gordo Posted March 30, 2022 Share I wear knee guards religiously!! This mini shin guard saved my upper shin big time. I dont even have bruising after impact and sliding on brick size rocks for a good few meters . Now if I only had the elbow guards on, which I Electively chose to leave. The bike looks like it didnt take any damage. Will only be able to tell on a thorough inspection, but it freewheeled me back to the car just fine and no noises. Thanks for asking!!!!🤣 MajG, ChrisF, SilverRider and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i came of mine, blood was gushing everywhere with a zipped open face, my shoulder was out, my legs were bleeding and my shirt in pieces. I sat up, marched up the embankment to where the bike was lying still, picked it up with my working arm…and checked for scratches. Only after confirming bike was OK….did i realise I wasnt. But bike was OK. Get your priorities sorted! 🤣🤣 ps: i even let my wife drive us home first to drop the bike off before going to the ER and later plastic surgeon haha. Bike was OK😅. Around then was when the adrenalin wore off and the pain started lol!

Around then was when the adrenalin wore off and the pain started lol! Naa I did that before rolling back to the car. But I wont be happy until I am fully convinced. I need to pull the van out the garage an get the bike on the stand. But so far everything seems fine. I want to check the crank and derailleur alignment as well as tracking.

Hurts like hell, but worth it in the long run. I can already move my arm, have to do this 5 times a day as well as wrist and finger exercises, assisted that is. Still waiting on the theatre drugs to wear off. Probably gonna pain like hell.
