You wait a lifetime for a first then they all come along together

So I am on my way to work minding my own business when this taxi decides to turn right into a driveway with no warning. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!


Before I know it I am being blue lighted to hospital where they inform me I'll be in the operating theatre before the day is out. Tibia plateau fracture needs a plate to hold three pieces of my tibia together. Now I am home in agony and looking forward to the 8 - 12 weeks totally off my feet and a further God knows how long in physio.


In that split second my list of firsts are:


Accident

ambulance ride

blue light

in hospital

broken bone


Bike is a right off but thankfully, before I even left hospital, his insurance company called me and admitted total liability. Now to see how much of a payout I'll get! Bike is a rite off and I'm off work for a minimum of three months.

Bad luck buddy. At least if they took you to southmead their a&e is top notch.


I should know as I am checking it out currently.


Heal up well and take it easy till the leg is better.

Not good, hope you get a good pay out and recover well. Do you get to go bike shopping with the insurance?

 

I hope so ... OH is shitting the thought of me getting back on a bike.

It was Southmead ... they were fantastic. Couldn't have asked for better care.

 

Triage nurse was fantastic when I saw them 45 minutes ago. And there's no drunk twats here today!

Thanks for all of your messgaes guys. It hurts like f*ck but I am sure it'll ease in time. Saving grace is that I shouldn't have a fight on my hands because he has accepted total liability.


Yet another SMIDSY gone sour! I was only travelling at about 15 mph too. Othe biker piss down that road at 40 + despite it being a 20 mph speed limit.
