steve Posted December 11, 2006 Share I was recently injured in a car crash and discoveredc 18 days in ICU makes fitness disappear quickly. Problem is I also suffered swollen brain, punctured lungs, broken ribs and broken shoulder. A doctor at hospital said he had no problems with me cycling, but my balance is way off and I don't quite know what to do. Normal doctors don't understand!! Surely there must be some doctor types who read this site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there must be some doctor types who read this site?[/quote'] A while back I publicised "Headway Gauteng" a group dealing with people suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury "TBI" & most TBIs are injuries from vehicle accidents. I was there on Friday and saw they had a Bio-kineticist who helps people literally get back on their feet - can't remember his name, might be Adrian.Anyway they also have a telephone help line give them a call on: 442 5733.

bikemonster Posted December 11, 2006 Share slowpoke your TCR was not twitchy, it was scared. Scared you were going to hurt it again. Glad you were riding again though, twitchy or not. steve, you could always try the indoor trainer until balance returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
