Bionic leg.......the end is nigh!

[Sean 2000]

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! 

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" 

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

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, hope it goes your way mate

Glad you're starting to get back to normal at long last Sean!  great news!  as for riding again? i think you'll be fine after a while but i understand what you mean about the back of your mind! 

only you can really know if you'll be able to ride like you were before hand mate 

[southern andy]

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. apparently i cant be trusted.

[Sean 2000]

Cheers Andy, didnt know you done ya knee mate. You aint having much luck with bikes are you? 

Rob, i'll be seeing you soon mate.

Ratty, cheers bud greatly appreciated. 

Sean.

[TwoBobRob]

I think you'll be just fine.


10% muscle mass lost?  Pah. Lightweight.....    Try 10%  left!!!!

Dave

[Sean 2000]

Big Guy!
You been looking at my scales Dave? 

Ive put on a friggin stone and a half since december  Thats gotta go before i get back on my bike.
Gone are the McDonalds breakfast, in with the oatso simple!
Fruit instead of crisps!
And a new cruiser coming to "get fit" on, and im gonna ride that fooka every night till i'm 11 stone, as i should be!

Maybe i should now be called "the ring-er donut" 

[Bob_Acid]

i keep getting that push both arms/legs to see which is strongest. Mine are on and off but since i stopped riding it's me back which is weird.

Glad yer on the up Sean. ATB mate

Velcro grips and gloves from now on mate. 

[Trev]

good luck sean...

now you've put on a bit of weight, you can come riding with me & lazychubs.

[Sean 2000]

Not keepin it though trev i'm afraid. 

Now on a crisp/biscuit and McDonalds free diet, fruit and oatso simple instead of all that poop.

And i got a "Floval Flyer" coming to help "de-lard" meself and get that leg back up to 100%. 

The "R" is nearly back.

[pickle]

glad to hear it Sean!  be good to see you back flying round the parks! 

[DML]

Glad to hear your nearly there mate and i'm sure it won't be long before the ringer is back to his best 

[FuNMoNsTeR]

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

[Sean 2000]

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" 

[FuNMoNsTeR]

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
