In a few months time, maybe you and Peg can compare notes. When you go swimming and kids stare at you, you can fib and tell them big porkies that a great white shark bit ya;)
Seriously, he has a rod down the middle of his femur, never to be taken out, half a knee, a nice patch on his other leg where donor skin was taken.
It may not feel like it right now, but eventually it will get better. Its not uncommon to not know where or what the hell happened, amnesia of said event happens to many, I know enough that sometimes you can be missing an entire six months.

Get well soon, may not feel like it now, but you'll be walking fit in no time....even if you are truely a wonky knee member.

Yeah, well theres a lot of muscle that will have been moved about a lot. Many hours of physio I don't doubt for you! Unfortunately Pete doesn't have the luxury of calf muscles, as the ligaments are buggered, and his calf muscle doesn't do much.
Time is what you need, and it'll get frustrating when it don't go as quickly as your brain gets round it all.
Good to see you want back on the bike, get that mechanic dad to fix it up as an incentive, then strap crutches on it, and away you go.:cheers:

For someone who hasn't had it happen themselves, I know exactly whats in store. Big hugs, and I'm sure myself, and this 'orrible lot will be at your service when you need to vent, get advice or generally entertain you on your road to recovery;)

Re: Cow down. Ruined my leg.

GWS mate ... you been through the wars but thankfully survived.

Re: Cow down. Ruined my leg.

Get onto the MIB for this?

Re: Cow down. Ruined my leg.

Re: Cow down. Ruined my leg.

Crutches suck, I spent 6 weeks on them and the simplest things are a chore. Get a screw top coffee cup - that solves that problem, and a little drawstring bag you can put stuff in when you move from room to room. Sounds daft but it makes it easier.

Did anyone yet mention that chicks dig scars? Don't just say you were bitten by a great white shark, say you were rescuing a little baby turtle from the jaws of the shark.

Re: Cow down. Ruined my leg.

that sucks cowballs, GWS!
