Update on Jen J

Well I went to Londonium to visit the poor wounded soldier and I was glad to find she was not in fact drowning in a sea of hobnobs and watching Jeremy Kyle.
Her bikes have not been thrown out of the window in a hissy fit.
But her bruise is very impressive - as is the off-the-shouder look with the top
If she were to get herself along to the Morpeth she would get so much sympathy........

One thing about jen's accident - it made me realise I may have been a traffic policeman in another life...
Blog (incl. bikes)
Not much to update really - still hurts, still don't know yet about surgery (back at hospital again on Monday), still can't do much.
Am much improved from the first couple of days though, in terms of both movement and alertness. At first I was so drugged up that, as my doctor said this morning, I was basically stoned all day
Had avoided the tri thread on my running site since the crash, but ventured there today and had a debate about pedals. After that I walked passed the Bowery and though I'd go for a ride, then remembered I couldn't. First time I've actually wanted to go out, and first time I forgot I couldn't so I guess that's good?
Tried the turbo out the other evening and it was a complete disaster. My balance is out, plus I nearly fell and ended up hurting my shoulder again. And I forgot I had new pedals on, which were really stiff and I struggled to clip in. Ended up having a mini tantrum and considered throwing all bike related stuff out of the windows. But I can't afford new windows so I didn't...
Worst thing, apart from not being able to train, is that I can't lie down, and have only been able to doze for a few hours each night whilst sat on the sofa. Luckily, being sat at home all day, I don't need to be particularly awake
It was lovely to see you yesterday lins x

What happened? It sounds like you have a shot putting injury. Yes, that must be it.
Is that to put pins in? Yikes!

If its any consolation Jen, I bet you could cycle for another 25 years and not have that happen again.
Bones take about 6 weeks to knit. You are 2 down already. I guess if its not displaced by now, it won't. You;ll be back on the trainer well before the 6 week point, I reckon.
Linsen - stop blaming yourself - it was the dog wot dun it

Dog unscathed. They usually are. My dog ran out into a car when he was 8 months old. He was fine, the car was dented.....
Looks sore matey. Hope it gets better soon and that an op is not required. Dogs are a nightmare aren't they.
Best wishes

Get better soon!

A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game
I had to lead someone's dog back to them once after it started chasing me down the road whilst I was on the bike. It didn't want to go back to them (I suspect it was a puppy or at least quite new) so as it seemed to think I was it's new best friend I backtracked a bit to lead him back towards them :-)
Anyhow hope you heal up soon!

+1 for "warning, some viewers may find the following scenes distressing" :shock:
+1 for "get well soon"
Get well soon!
Can we market you as modern art or a Banksy piece? The colour and formation is akin to camoflage....
Ouch!
That's horrendous - you poor thing. No wonder you've been on painkillers so storng they make you queasy.
Get well soon and fingers crossed that an op is not deemed necessary.
However, they can't rule out surgery until it's actually healed, as it could move out of position at any time.
*sigh*
Back at the clinic next week.
At least I'll be easily recognisable at the next social - I'll be glowing from all the radiation from the weekly xrays(3 today).

I have been watching the dogs in Hyde Park very, very carefully...one day I will ride into a lamp post where I am 'keeping an eye' on what the dogs are doing!
We hit a sheepdog in the lanes in Cornwall once when I still had my car. I began screaming because I thought we had killed the dog, but it got up and bounded away most happily. The car was less fortunate because the car behind went into the back of it and crushed all the back. And I had whiplash. As I exchanged insurance details with the bloke who had shunted us, I could see this dog playing in the fields in the distance.
