Yesterday nr woodhead

Sorry to hear about your freinds injuries, sounds like a bit of a character. I wish him a speedy recovery. I hate that bit of road, had a few moments on it myself, not bad on supermoto but crap on a sportsbike. It's just the easiest way to snake pass, cat n fiddle etc from this end.

Wishing your friend a speedy recovery.

Just read this

It's all been said already Mark

but please add my wishes for a speedy and quick recovery

thoughts are with "You" (cos i know what its like to be at the sharp end, so to speak) and of course to Ian and Vicki .

UPDATE SUNDAY

Ians a lot better today, hes getting to the stage where hes gonna be able to get up and a round using a frame,his backs still very sore ( and black) but thats getting better,his legs healing as expected and his kidney appears to have cleared up pretty well, hes still going to be in a while but things are looking much better than earlier in the week.

thanks again to all offering notes and texts of support and best wishes

That's good to hear, let's hope he carry's on doing well

Jo.

Just like to say to Ian get well soon I do not know you are, but who cares, .

Well done to all those who helped, if it was not for all you that were threre, I'm sure you would be writing something else on this thread. Sometimes places which a far out do take some time for the Emergency services to get to you. I know that road well, and being a traffic officer I hope those officers that are dealing with it investigate that part of the road.


GET WELL SOON

UPDATE MONDAY 15th OCTOBER,

hard to believe its only 2 weeks since Ians accident,
Today hes being moved to Pontefract, only 3-4 miles from where he lives, so this is far better for his family and friends to get to see him, hes rang me from the ambulance on the way over, first time outside in 2 wk and they out him in a van with no windows.

Tameside were ready to discharge him to home on thursday, but they need to make his house wheel chair friendly before he can go home, hes going to have to use a wheelchair for at least 12 weeks as he has to keep his leg elevated and not walk on crutches or anything while they "taper" his leg for a prosthetic and for the blood flow to sort itself out

his other injuries have more or less sorted themselves out and apart from not haveing the bottom of his left leg, hes pretty much back to normal, the sooner he can get home the better itll be for him mentally, it must be getting on his t*ts laying around all day............NHS dont even have sky+ !!!!! lol

thanks again to everyone for there best wishes and support,
James copied this thread for him and gave it him to read in hospital, by all accounts he was quite moved.

big Scotish puff..........................
