Discharged from physio
Today is a land mark day for me in my rehabilitation.
Today, 15 months after being hit by a car and getting a shattered knee, internal bone damage to the knee, a severed PCL, broken ulna, dislocated elebow, 11 broken ribs, bleeding in the lungs, internal bleeding and 3 fractured vertebrae ... I've finally been discharged from physio.
I've spent 11 months in physio, twice a week, 2 hours a session; my current riding is limited to around 20 miles without any hills ... So I'm looking forwards to getting an e-bike and returning to longer rides.

Of course not! I will be chasing up after Christmas, no point in doing so now as they will just point to "hopefully" and "in December".

They most certainly do "separate like that"....

Jeez, getting back on 2 wheels after a list of injuries that long shows guts. Good luck to you.
Thanks my friend.
Im not going to lie, I'm not up for soloing just yet; I draw encouragement from the group.
That's some journey OFG. Heres to accelerated recovery now you've been cut loose by the physio. Stay safe out there friend.
Thank you giff77
It's been a long battle.
You take care out there too.
:-o OFG! Wishing you the best for the future!
Cheers HLaB
Blimey, good to hear you are on the mend after that. Enjoy getting back out there!
Thanks PRSboy.
Few things finer to burn away a crap day than being out in the bike.
I look forwards to being out for longer
Gosh. Well done you! I admire your determination and hope you have much quality time on the bike
Cheers.
At the moment, the weather is against me as its pretty wintery; but I managed to get out in -2 on Saturday for a cheeky 20 miles for a coffee
Here's to becoming oldthingit!
I'm looking forwards to it ... although I lost 10kg in a week in HDU (I had it to loose though).
Didn't take long before it all went back on ... plus an additional 10kg.
When you can only use one arm and one leg it kinda limits the - useful - exercise you can do
Wow, that is some list of injuries! Perservere and the rewards will come! .
Thank you ... It's not been easy.
I think its been harder on my wife and young kids though
Thanks guys, much appreciated.
Well done! That's some real determination you've got.
Jeez, that is list of injuries and a half.
You should change your name to Oldreconstructedfatgit.
Hope the eBike works out for you. Best wishes for your ongoing rehabilitation and return to health.
Now there's a handle I could get in to ...
Well done Oldfatgit, I'm guessing the physio was hard and a lot of effort, but that you'd be in a worse state without it.
Enjoy the rides.
