Broken hips is a common theme around here, one of my veteran cyclist mates fell off on oil in Spain, luckily the surgeon treating him in Spain was a cyclist, so he got the right treatment straight away.
He was discharged very quickly from hospital too & when I saw him, he was just using a walking stick. But that's his TT season down the pan.
My neighbour also fell off and he's still on crutches, but he's got osteoporosis, so his recovery is going to take a few months. But he is 80, so fairly fit
This getting old lark isn't all its cracked up to be
