Well
that was a weird day, riding along doing an easy ride through Hambledon and
then the next thing I know is multiple people standing over me trying to help.
I
somehow face planted up ending up with 20 stiches in my lip, two black eyes and
various patches of gravel rash.
I
have no recollection of why I went down hard at 30kph nothing to suggest other
vehicles, people, animals potholes, weird stuff in the road etc.
A
massive thankyou to two motorcycle guys for helping me, a guy with a blanket
and a fantastic women called Claire who call up my dad on my phone and the
various police on the scene.
After
a quick spinal check I got to A&E they said and ambulance would take an
hour to hour and a half to arrive so my Dad picked me up and drove me.
Despite
the queues at A&E I was seen fairly quickly probably cause I was dripping
blood from my face and hands.
Everyone
at QA was fantastic, I was pretty much spaced out not remembering the previous
few days or why I was in hospital except everything hurt.
I
got the full resus checks, CT scans, additional x rays on cheek, chest and my
right hand. Unbelievably I hadn’t broken any bones just badly battered and
bruised and scraped and the Maxillofacial doctor said I had a sort of downward
grated lip injury that was very tricky to sew up, she sewed and sewed for quite
a while.
