Bionic leg.......the end is nigh!
« on: May 21, 2008, 02:04 PM »
So, nearly 6 months since that friday night at Charlton when it all went a bit pear shaped for me.

I'm off the crutches, swelling is under control and i can finally start to live a normal life again.  ::)
Been going to physio for a couple of weeks now, ankle movement is rather limited at the moment, but no pain so its good.

My physio reckons i only lost 10% muscle power in my left peg!  :wtf:

So he is doing the strength tests on my first visit, me pushing against his hands with both legs for a comparison. "you done this when" he says. December 7th i tell him, "hmmm, you  sould not have this much muscle strength after such a lengthy injury, ive never seen this before...................................farkin ringer"  ;D

I rode my bike round the garden at the weekend with no ill effects  :daumenhoch:
Just gotta lose the extra stone+ that ive put on over the winter.  :shocked:

My target of July is looking like a goodun. But will i be able to ride with this niggling away in the back of my head.....who knows?
I know 1 thing, i dont ever wanna go through this isht again.

Sean.

Good luck Sean, fingers crossed for you mate. Since my accident in February i have had no confidence at all. :( :(,  even more so that when i did go out i came a cropper and ended up with a twonked knee full of stitches. They're now out but the future looks very bleak for me. :'( :'(
My wife is not letting me on my bike for a while. :LolLolLolLol: apparently i cant be trusted.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Great news m8  :)   Just take it easy and work up gradually for the next 6 weeks to give everything(muscles/ligaments) time to  strengthen  :daumenhoch:

Yeh, thats the plan. I'm not gonna rush back!

Just returned from my first outing on the "floval". Very nice ride, smooth as a cashmere codpiece with it being all sealed an all!

Just one gripe........the saddle has got naff all padding on it......ouch! Can anybody recomend a nice saddle with lots of padding on it (std fitment not pivotal)?

The "R"  :daumenhoch:

Massi make a Bio Hole seat... They are nicely padded and the hole lets your trinkets sit a bit safer.....They look good too. They are available in loads of colours. Heres one  :)
