50kmh downhill, lost control of the new carbon bike, never tested before. crashed into a car, flipped on it, landed on the ground. People thought i was dead,unconscious for a while, ambulance took me to reading hospital. They checked me, xrayed me, discharge me with the diagnosis of a broken collar bone. the day after they called me, telling me to run to the nearest hospital. After checking better (??) my xrays, they realized that there were a couple of fractured ribs, and one of those punctured my lung which deflated. so went to ealing hospital, put a tube in my lung to drain and inflate the lung and stayed there for few days. yesterday they discharged me, my lung is fine, my collar bone and ribs still messed up. i may have on operation to the collar bone. but glad im back and alive!
