2013..I had a big mtb off. Broken pelvis and lower and neck vertebrae. St George's for 3 weeks. The pain was fucking excruciating, the drugs fucking marvellous. I had surgery, then a long recovery. I crutched to work for half days after 6 weeks. I found black cabs really difficult to negotiate, regular cars easier. Dropped the crutches after 4 months, on a bike in 5 months for short rides, did the Dunwich Dynamo 12 months later and now I'm full on mtb, road, whatever I can get! Looking back issues included shitting, although it appears you've passed that (bad pun, sorry) weight I gained and had to lose, getting off Tramadol...
It's sooo good! Since then I get sciatica periodically but I got older so maybe would have that anyway. I love St George's and the NHS.

Discharged yesterday! They just wanted to see me walking up some stairs before they'd let me go. Still quite sore but brace keeps my posture in a good position. Now got to work out how/when to return to work.
Gut health is currently in a dreadful state but have finally had a poo (if you can call it that)! Off to buy Yakult!
