Amazing, amazing, amazing. (defiantly not going to win any literary prizes for that one)
Went to see my mate in hospital yesterday. Was expecting the worst, not wanting to be negative, but ICU units aren’t usually fun places!
Anyway they are moving him out of ICU today. It appears that he has had a miraculous escape. The doctors said that he was as close to death as you get without actually dying, yet he has come back from the brink.
He was very tired so only saw him for a few minutes, but he still had the old glint in the eye that reassured me that my old buddy was still inside.
Amazingly he has no external injuries, other than a broken cheek.
Two lessons learnt here. 1 - always wear the best helmet you can afford (he wasn’t), and 2 - never loose hope.
Of course the level of brain damage has yet to be assessed, but so far so good.
Glad to hear it Mo. Hope he makes a full recovery, but only time will tell, eh. What helmet was he wearing? I never skimp on protection, like you say, you should buy the best you can afford, it can never be too good.
Glad to hear he’s out of ICU and well and truly on the mend now. He’ll be back on his own two wheels before you know it, but this time with a better helmet, I hope! The Momos look very cool but even I wouldn’t wear them…
On a slighty related note, when they’ve finished testing his brain but before they wheel the machine out, make sure they give you a check up eh? New York marathon, London marathon … need I say more?
Not sure his missuz is ever going to let him get near 2 wheels again after all this. And don’t really want to fall out with her over “health and saftey”
Going to take him to the BSB as Silverstone so hopefully that will get the juices flowing again
