Thanks guys, your wishes are greatly received. Not sure where to start except to say that I am a tw@ - it was my fault, I was on a road that I know very well and got cocky and got it wrong - that and I hate right handers... Was very lucky cos where I went wide, the grass was only 2 foot wide with a stone wall behind it
 The bike hit the grass and I hit the road. At about 60mph - I was toes down already so it was a very short trip...The nice folks that I had just ****ed past stopped and were genuinely concerned (was expecting them to give me an earful) They asked me if they could call an ambulance. I said 'Just hang on' and lay down in the road for 20 seconds to get my breath back, then got up and asked them to pick the bike up and hold it for me so I could jump on  They were very nice and followed me home  Luckily my neighbor was out front so once I managed to prise myself off the bike I asked him to take me to the hospital. The folks at the hospital were nice and the doc congratulated me on my full gear. He said that if it wasn't for my back protector, I would have been seriously f%$*d To paraphrase Big Ape 'Always wear yer ferkin leathers and yer ferkin back protector!' It doesn't hurt that much any more, it's just an annoyance cos I can't lift stuff etc. I asked for the x rays so I could show off my injuries but they would give them to me

I take it that's you home then?
IIRC< NHS policy is if you apply in writing you can get copies, but they're allowed to charge you. I keep on meaning to get copies of mine.

You could always get them to pop the xrays on a light box and take piccies with a diggie camera. That's what I did when I bust my back. You have to have a memento of these things IMO!

Glad your out of the hospital now. Heal well.
Tell me did they have the obligatory psyhco in your ward? They had one in mine when I was in there and there was one in the ward at the Queen Margaret in Gary's ward this evening. I think it must be a compulsory NHS requirement or something.
