    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.

    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 🙂

    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 🙂

    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

    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 … 🙂
