Came off work bike. Winchester Hospital, fractured elbow.
My bike is outside work (Andover), can't straighten arm enough to ride it. Could anyone ride it back to Tidworth for me? Can't offer much more than a few beers for your trouble.
Wasted on pain meds so excuse bad typing.

Bike sorted. Marmalade to the rescue, going to tow it back for me this evening.
Glad you are sorted mate, hope you get better soon...
Good to hear you are sorted, saw this earlier but had couldn't assist. GWS mate

Ouch, mend well WR
ANOTHER accident!?! Do you like the taste of tarmac? ;) swear you were still recovering when you came over last..!
GWS chris... hope you heal quickly buddy....:)
GWS. hope to see you back on the road soon.
I was still recovering from that one and aggravated it more now. This fractured elbow could be 2-4 months but hopefully I can straighten my arm enough to grip the throttle sooner than that. Don't love the tarmac all 3 on a work bike and all because they failed to maintain it.Quote:

Gws mate
Thanks for all the well wishes.
HUGE thank you to Marmalade and Mrs Marmalade who gave up their Friday evening to drive to Andover load up my bike despite him having a badly injured shoulder and take it to my house.
I'm done with that job mate. Going to look in to finding a cheap dullville once this arm is better and use it for proper couriering.Quote:

I know that's genuine Craig. I honestly didn't think of it/remember I had your number, my mind is seriously addled the past few months with the amount of Tramadol and other crap I'm having to dump in to myself to function.Quote:

Stop falling off, its no fun! Mend well :)
Hope you are finally sorted. I'm on Tramadol, as well, but for a different reason. Good luck with you arm. Richard
WR and Vulcan... a word of warning.
I was on tramadol after the ops for neck and thyroid cancer , which left me with the necklace Ive got now. In hospital they give you it for pain, when you leave they ask if you are in pain, you say no because you aren't. the doctor then gives you a repeat prescription and you keep taking it. I lost 2 stone in weight, stopped eating then stopped drinking as I was being sick. I couldn't even make an appointment to the RUH , I had the district nurse out to give me an injection to get there.
in the surgeons review he admitted me straight away and 16 hours on the drip re-hydrating..
be careful with T, the mrs wont let me have it now
Thanks. Saw a specialist today the fracture is minor he reckons I can ride soon as I can stretch the arm out straight again.Quote:

Mon/tues I dragged it over 1000 miles to Aberdeen and back.
