Just to let you know that John is currently incapacitated after taking a bit of a tumble. He's not going to be back at the wheel of a Porsche for a while and I for one would like to wish him all the best for as speedy a recovery as possible.

Cheers

James
 
From the sound of it this is something that won't "just polish out", but get well soon and do as the physio tells you!

No, this is the "big one" every average person can expect to encounter. The state of my wrist last week a welder would have been more appropriate as the tool of choice.

Many people knock the NHS, but their treatment of my injury has been exemplary, even down to the standard of the food in hospital. Without their dilligence and skill I could well have been looking for a tiller mounted tiptronic, suitable for one handed operation. It is still early days but even so I can feel some rotational movement.

There is a basic rule for the use of ladders which states that three points of contact must be maintained at all times, and I have to confess to letting the frustration of the recent poor weather leading me to neglect this fundamental; something went wrong with my estimation of the inherent strength of so called strong garden twine (my ar5e) and the fall was inevitable under these circumstances.

Thanks to all the surgeons, doctors, nurses and HCAs at Wexham who made my stay tolerable.

Thanks to all you Forumites for your concern and wishes.
 
Quick update; been in a light weight cast for a week, going to see the consultant tomorrow, as I haven't seen him yet. I am hoping for words of encouragement. Cast coming off in three week so should just about be fit for Le Mans.
 
Thanks Jase. I had to go to A&E to get the swelling checked out yesterday. On a baseline of 50 being the action point for I.V. anti-biotics my infection markers were 17 so its a case of just being patient and nothing to worry about.
 
Sorry to hear about your tumble John......use the other hand for a bit........get well soon. Paul.
