Tumbleweed Posted January 21, 2010 Share ricky, if you want to feel better - well, misery loves company - go have a gander at the official accident thread under photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave Posted January 21, 2010 Share Good to hear you are mending fellow hubber. (Oh right, I forgot....) I can relate to the frustration of not being able to ride dude. I also had a bit of a mishap recently and it looks like I will be off the bike for 6 to 8 weeks. Thankfully the bike is A - OK. Really guys, it's easy to say that there will be other races (in my case, I was training really hard for the fast one). We know this but it doesn't make the feeling of being unable to ride any easier to bear. S2C may be coming up next year for RB, but like he was training for this year and next year may not be the same. Keep on mending. Anyone hear from IanJ?

Andyr249 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Apparently Trubie saw him this morning with his leg bandaged or so. Not entirely sure though. Andyr2492010-01-21 06:58:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJ Posted January 21, 2010 Share I am here, I saw Trubie at Cyclelab this morning, from there we went to see the Doc to have the bandages, stitches (staples actually) and splint removed. Doc is happy with the way I have healed but the depressing news is he doesn't want me to start riding again at least until I have seen a physio next week. Seems the ligament damage was worse than I thought and it can take up to 6 weeks to heal properly. So I am not a happy chappy right now and I agree it is easy to say there is always next year but when you have put so much effort into your training for a specific event just to have it all thrown out the window it is not cool. Also it is my first year in a new age category so was hoping to do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave Posted January 21, 2010 Share HEy IanJ, that sucks man. Hope you make a full recovery. Sometimes we have t listen to the medical dudes. I used to think they knew "jack" but lately I m more comfortable that sometimes they do know stuff. Rather take it easy and get better dude. Ligaments are dangerous to play around with so rather do like the quack says. AS much as it sucks. So far, my ribs are still damn sore so not msiing the bike too much. Not looking forward to that period when they feel good and I still can't ride. I guess I have t listen to the good docs for my own good. Keep on mending mate.

cat-i Posted January 21, 2010 Share hey ricky and slave and ianj - thinking of you guys, get well soon!!! and keep posting (good) news about the recoveries ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave Posted January 22, 2010 Share Thanks cat. The good news about recovery is it will be so lekker when the pain goes away. For the past two weeks, I have been sleeping in a "sitting" position. Propped up against the continental pillows. On the upside, I was able to lift my left arm all the way up to my head this morning. For some reason the shoulder feels stiff but it is def getting there. Supposed to go see Dr. Bones today (the surgeon who did the plate) but at R400 to go see him for a follow-up appointment to tell me what I already know, I have decided to give it a miss. The ribs still tickle some but gradually, the pain is going away. Damn, I am looking forward to being able to comply with performing marital duties again.

slowpoke Posted January 25, 2010 Share ricky, slave and ianj i'm thinking of all 3 of you. i know the frustration of a longer-term recovery (having perfected the art of attaining max damage per fall myself). all i can say for certain is listen to the doc... do as i say, not as i do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave Posted January 25, 2010 Share Would like to try the Bob MArley method but the stuff he smoked makes me cough something awful.
