pob06

Hey folks, just found out that one of our new members, pob06, had an off in France beginning of the week while on his way to Italy.

He's broken both arms and his pelvis and I believe his bike is a write off :(

No idea how accident happened.

He's had an op to plate both forearms and will be having an op on Friday on his pelvis, once that's done they hope he'll be casevac back to the uk.

He lives in Reading but his folks are in the Dursley area so not sure what hospital he'll be taken to.

Will up date when I have more info.

Get well soon Pob! :)

Crap news :[ sounds pretty nasty too, hope he's not too bad

The pelvis op went well [smiley=thumbsup.gif] and he's in a less intensive care bed, they're still hopeful he'll be bought back to the UK next week.

Be interested to find out how the French nurses compare to the UK ones :-)

I don't know how the accident happened, all I know was he was on his way to Italy and I think at this point of his journey I think he was travelling alone. He was due to meet friends somewhere in France and I think they have been to see him, I certainly know that 2 of his friends have seen him in hospital, hence the up dates.

I hope you're feeling better soon fella!

Oh dear Jackie that sounds very nasty. Best wishes GWS

Just being morbidly curious Jackie. Lets hope he's home & sorted soon

BB

OUCH

that's one hell of a list of injuries :(
