Been off work for a few weeks now since being hit whilst cycling home from work last month. Initially whiplash,but also knee problems.
doctor tells me now I have a medial meniscal tear in left knee and it will require an operation. Signed me off work for another 4 weeks, and referred me to a consultant orthapaedic surgeon.
I'm told it will take about a month to get an appointment wwith surgeon. not sure how long after that until operation, but then another six weeks after that before i can ride my bike again.
Happy Christmas indeed

That sucks, Spen. Sorry to hear that. Hope it heals up fast.

Cheers for that. Why do you think I have been on here so much of late. Off work, pretty much housebound and bored silly.
I initially thought it was not bad. It is getting worse by the week.
Agood reason not to settle a claim quickly. If you had asked me after the accident what injuries I had, I would have said none, but it is coming out over time.Want to know the Spen666 behind the posts?

Sorry to hear that Spen, I hadn't realised you'd been knocked off.
Hope your knee gets sorted soon, and you're back on the bike in the new year. Does this mean you've got an excuse to be waited on hand and foot over Christmaspain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................

Oh my God, what a horrible situation! Hope you get better soon.
Look at the bright side: in 6-8 weeks time, hopefully all this ice will be gone and the days will be much longer!0 -
Ouch, that sounds more like a footballer's injury than a cyclist's. Side-impact? Anyhow, I hope the operation goes smoothly and you make a speedy recovery. Meanwhile, don't eat too many mince pies.0

Not so good Spen, out of action myself till the New Year. Speedy recovery."Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0

bad news & get well soon, but on the bright side at least they've got to it before you get back on a bike and do more damage.
good point about the compo as well, it soon gets spent ater a bad un. hold out for far more than you think you'll need, I've spent mine many times over and still pay out to keep myself well after a big crash.0 -
Ouch, not what you want over Christmas. Hope you get sorted soon!0

i had an operation to repair a tear in my left meniscus last week. I can completely sympathise with the boredom!0

Crikey, bad news indeed, hope it all gets sorted quickly and smoothly and you're back on the bike soon.0

So Spen, as you will be off work a tad longer and you don't watch Nick Jr............. could you do my ironing? It's not much really
I am sorry to hear about your injury though........0 -
All the best for a full and speedy recovery Spen._________________________________________________

So sorry to hear that.
Rest it up (from your blog it sounds like you haven't had much choice) and fingers crossed you'll be back in action sooner rather than later.0 -
