heal up, ianj

[IanJ]

Thanks for the well wishes everybody, sitting in hospital as bored as can be, hope to go home this morning. Leg will be in a splint thing for 2 weeks, both ankles are swollen and my ass has no skin and is bruised which is k@k because I can't turn over becaue of my leg and the drain etc. as Sonic said but should be able to get back on the bike soon.

 

I was coming down Witkoppen road from Cedar towards Kingfisher, I was doing about 50km/h. A young guy on a motorbike coming from the opposite direction didn't see me and turned right and basically t-boned me. I had nowhere to go because there was a bakkie waiting to pull off from the stop street. The impact with the motorbike on my knee did most of the damage and then I apparently flew over the bonnet of the bakkie and landed on the kerb about 5m away. Lay there for a few secs to check if everything worked but was then able to get up. Really nice lady in the bakkie brought me to the hospital and waited until my son (Sonic) got here.

 

Really bad timing training wise, I was just peaking my base training for SA's and this was my last long week.

 

I see Slave also became a casualty this week but seems to have fared worse than me. Hope you recover quickly Slavey.

Hope you get back on the bike soon!

[Thug]

We had an Americano & Chocie croissant for you this morning.

Never a good time for a tumble or crash. Glad you are doing OK.

 

Slaveman is not doing too well - pneumonia has started setting in and they will only operate him tmrw @ 14:00 to put the clavicle(which is broken in 3 places) back in place - that is if he doesn't get worse condition wise.

We missed you at breakfast this morning, IanJ. I couldn't quite convince the boys to have a grappa in honour of your speedy recovery, though. Woesies.

 

 

 

Feel better.

[Cyclewizz]

For those of you that would like to shed a tear for a fallen Bianchi:

 

 

 

So sad to see a Bianchi in so much pain .

 

Glad you ok IanJ

 

[IanJ]

Yeah, bunch of woosies, I will come park my broken bianchi outside one day next week, hobble in and have a grappa with you.

 

 

 

[AndreZA]

Hell, that is not nice. Hope you heal soon. Regarding the bike, I know a painter that will fill this cracks with body putty and repaint the frame so that you do not even see it.

Cool sounds good, will give you a call later, can you also help with new decals for the wheels that will make them look a bit straighter? 

 

[Sonic]

He is home:

 

 

His leg has a splint on the back to prevent knee movement. but can apply weight to the leg. Splint and stitches should come out in two weeks.
