all clear

So  I went to the doc and I had the physio come see me for the last time... yep... got the all clear.  I'm going back to work after being off for 9 weeks.

I'm allowed to continue my 'rehab' and have some new exercises as well as being allowed to get back on wasabi on the road..

Of course I had to ride asap.... So this morning at 6.30am  I did my first 20km out on the road with my very own fisherman/mamil coming to keep me company.

The conditions probably couldn't have been much worse for a come back ride... headwinds and 30 degree heat even at 7am!!

But the tailwind home was sweet reward.  I felt pretty good, but didn't want to push it on the first ride... it was a slower ride, yes i could feel a few niggles but I was and am still grinning!

Need to take some new photos... this is actually about 13 bags of stuff I gathered from the girls rooms... I did a massive clean out and changed beds around etc  so savers scored big time and so did I.

Off to my guilds Christmas meeting for a while, and best of all the froglet is coming home tonight with her man for Christmas!!  woot... been 4 months since I have seen her.

small misadventure

So  I knew one day I would have a fall off my bike.... don't panic... I am fine, well sort of.

I was riding with my friends and turned left around a corner doing about 35-40 kmph and hit a patch of gravel... I knew what was coming and my wheels slid out from under me and i landed on my left side.

 This is my left elbow

and this is my left calf... I also have a few little cuts on my left thigh.  However even though these look impressive they aren't what is giving me grief.

The ambos said I hadn't broken anything so i went home and this morning when to my doctor who wisely got me some xrays and CT scans which showed that I do indeed have fractures.

I have this.... a L5 transverse fracture and my left sacrum is also fractured.  so my arse is sore.

Please don't panic and tell me off...  I got some good drugs (and to be honest one is kicking in now and I think I might just fall asleep ha.)

I have learnt a valuable lesson... don't speed and turn on gravel.

Wasabi is ok.... I asked about her straight up.. and checked her out today..... but she will go and see her doctor later in the week too for a checkup.

So 4 weeks off work to start with... he didn't say i couldn't ride.... but i cant see me doing that at the moment anyway :)

Sewing time will occur!  but first Im having a nap zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
