2011-09-06 - Rider Down (Digger)

Chill out! You're not going to win - you're just going against yourself. Relax and let it heal.
Call me if you need something or need to be transported and such.

Fuck they're still trying to transport my kind, repped for raceism against Aussies...

Only just seen this Digger, take it easy and heal well.

Can't go that far, sorry.

Bit of fresh blood coming through the dressing, stitches pulling maybe?
Just cycling to the shops...

First I was like

And then I was like

Well the shops seemed further away than usual, I may be below my fighting weight.
Also in related news have fashioned re-placement sling from used inner tube (thanks to the incomparable Bernie for the idea and the supplies).

I have a selection of slings that you can have if you wish.

Are they black?

And waterproof* dressings.

• Awesomely waterproof, and they last a week.
  
  

Yes please, although I can't use these until they remove this blood stained crepe post surgery dressing on Thursday morning...

'Fraid not. I can bing a felt tip pen though.

This is why I made an inner tube one, not through rubber fetish but because I need it to be black...

Ouch dude. Just seen this, sounds nasty, apart from the curry bit, that sounds lovely, shit, now i'm hungry, see what you've done to me, see, I've got to go for curry now.

Heal up fast and well.

Hey just read about what happened.

Heal up.

Bit of seepage is normal.

Do not fall off, the screws & plate they have put in is stronger than the bone so you can break around the metal work and this is disasterous.

I have dark blue collar & cuff slings, let me know if you want me to drop one of tonight when I get out of work.

If you are worried about the op-site let me know & i can drop by and make sure its ok.

hope you get better soon digger and that your tattoos aren't messed up :-(

but hey, think of the scar.

Chicks dig scars

Chicks dig scars

I have evidence to suggest otherwise....

^might not have been the scars ;-)

Thanks mate, exactly what I wanted to hear, dark blue would be very welcome...
They did not use plate and screws, I will just detail the op.

After my sister leaves...

heal up soon :)

Ah, I'm going back down the Velodrome, I like it down there...

Promise you will not race.

Oh dear, Digger. Wish you a swift recovery. The break in your arm looks pretty similar to the break in the crank 'arm', something bionic happening there?

heal up Digger. you looked on top of things at HH
