Was out doing a 10mile tI've trial on the bike on Thursday evening (Lycra included)when coming back down the A38 at dursley a car decided to tun right across me into a turning
Leaving  me with two broken bones in me neck and two broken bones in my back,where they have operated and put two metal rods down me spine

Can't make up. E mind weather to dump one and pick up two or should. I earn £500 in three hours

Love you all

Definitely dump and replace with a six figure claim for loss of earnings from whoever was daft enough to cut right across you.

Hope you get well soon!

Painfull. Ouch. I hope you mend quickly and fully.

I also hope the rods in your back are not made by Brodex as you'd have a permanent stoop.

Just get someone to stick "windows cleaned" slips through your customers doors while you are off work recuperating so the money keeps rolling in.
If it's windy they won't know the difference anyway.  ;D

Franks above normal level of fitness will undoubtedly help for a quicker recovery. Any other 65 year old would have a far harder time

Bad situation Franky but hoping you a good recovery .

I have rods in my back broke in 2 places,  the plastic moulded corset/body brace is a pain to wear but without doubt great for maintaining posture and aiding  a speedy recovery .

Make sure you get one some not so good consultants never used to ensure that patients had one of theses thankfully I had a good Un

Pain...

I know this may seem a flippant comment to make but keep positive. It helps recovery. At least tomorrow morning you'll be waking up.

Maybe when you leave keep a memento of your stay. Get the nurses and doctors to sign a bedpan for you so as you can hang it on your wall indoors.

 ;D

Seriously though, get well soon.

Personally, I think we ought to have a whip round for Franky - he's done a lot for charity. If anyone knows how to set up an online 'just giving' thingy I'll stick a pound in.

I'm a cyclist myself and take the attitude that every car might hit me.
If it's any consolation your bike looks brilliant.

+1 to that.

Anyone on here had experience if setting this up?

I'd like to think a lot of fellow shiners would chip in in situations like this.

Johnny, just buy him a pint or two through his paypal account. If anyone deserves it Franky does. Helped me out when my van was off the road - never even knew him. He's raised money on here for charity too, really is one of the best. His family could do with a bit of 'get well soon'.

4am and a wake due to the pain and being totally uncomfortable due to the metal rods in me back

Update from the docotor at 4 pm last night is that I don't have  to have a waist closet made and fitted around me chest/upper body which hopeful would next the recovery about 12 weeks where that fully recovery to work I am unsure

This should mean that physio should be able to get me out of bed and try to get me walking again.something I am shi toting me self about,but we see how it all goes.i try keep you up to date but with so many people people visiting and all the drugs I am out of it sometimes
