Get well soon.

Bloody hell!  Make a swift recovery!

Thanks guys. The docs said it won't be a swift recovery but the state I'm in I'll be happy with any recovery ?

At least I can visit the forum to get away from reality ?

Gonna assume you were in full leathers & haven't lost any bits apart from your fairing

Damn, sounds like it was a nasty one. At least you are still with us and on the road to recovery , even if it's a long road. Take care and listen to the docs. All the best.

Ah, rub some dirt in it, and get yourself a couple of Barry Sheene cyborg legs on the NHS, you sissy.

Sorry to hear this though, I hope you're up and doing stupid things again in no time.

Good shout, Barry Sheene was a hero of mine in the 70's, unfortunately so was Gary Glitter, Rolf Harris & I watched Jim'll Fix It religiously.

Get well soon 

Bad deal? . Get well soon. 

Thanks all.

Yes full one-piece race leathers and  extra back protector (I wasn't racing) With ACU rated helmet.

Went wide on Paddock Hill bend and made controlled entry into the gravel at about 50-60mph. Gravel caught the bike (KTM RC8) and it stopped while I kept going. Bike reportedly fine, not even broken farings. I landed on my face, visor shattered and cut my face luckily missing my eyes.  But the big problem is I shattered vertebrae T9. I had successful surgery to fuse 5 verts together but currently still can't feel or move below that point. (belly button)

So now waiting to get some sign of improvement ?

Sorry to hear all that.

But you have a good reason to get better. You are going to take me to your local site so think on,you can't back* out now.lol

*No pun intended.

Regards 

Sorry to hear and sending all the best for your recovery!

You might get an Adamantium upgrade some day, while you're waiting try not to enjoy the bed baths too much.

Damn. Shat myself in a car let alone on a KTM. Are you in Darent valley hospital? If you are, let me know if you need anything, I'm local ok? ?

@Egon_247 Is Ed from Gravesend way?  I didn't know, chatted so many times

I'm Dartford way. Drive past "doom valley" on my way to and from work. ??

Get on the mend soon fella.  Damn frightening when your back goes, but I've even seen a relative have an entire vertebra replaced with polymer.  Thank God for modern medicine (and mates who'll bring a few cans in  )!

ATB

Thanks all for your thoughts. 

I'm in Kings College hospital in London.  Mending slowly but its going to be several months to see any significant change.  I'm encouraged by the similar (but worse) experience Bear Grylls had when he broke his back in a parachute accident. He climbed Mt Everest a year later.  Just walking will be enough for me ?

Cheers,

ED

Keep ya pecker up fella.

You will be right as ninepence and back at it before too long I'm sure.

Pma helps a lot. ?

Regards 

Ps keep us informed ?
