Thanks. Saw a specialist today the fracture is minor he reckons I can ride soon as I can stretch the arm out straight again.

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
I've been on Tramadol since June from a prior accident (Codeine for a month before that). Dropped 3 stone despite eating like a horse. The Gabapentin for the nerve based pain is worse makes me vomit a lot, leaves me really confused at times (think senile OAP style) and causes loads of mouth ulcers.
