My accident

Oh No. I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. Be sure to give us regular book and movie reviews, not to mention health updates. Hope you're walking soon. That will probably be heavenly when you get there. Meanwhile, take care of yourself.

So sorry to hear you were hurt. Like all the grrls say though, sounds like you are on the mend. I'm sure you'll be back in the saddle in no time.

And about the cyclometer on the wheelchair; I'm betting you could do it. Wheelchair wheels can be measured the same way as bike wheels... and boy oh boy Emily! Will you ever have arms of iron.

All the best!

Glad to hear you're sorted on the DVT prevention front. The only reason I mentioned it was because of my friends husband. He had multiple fractures all over his body after he was hit by a car, so there were lots of different bits of him that hurt.

For whatever reason, once he left hospital he wasn't given any anti-thrombosis medication and after 6 weeks immobile he developed a clot in his groin. After another brief spell in hospital while they sorted it out he's feeling a lot better and is even back at work now, 3 days a week.

Both my friend and I feel very annoyed that he had to go through this when it was avoidable, but I guess you can only look to the future.

After this I decided that if I came across anyone unfortunate enough to be immobile for any length of time that I'd just mention DVT, so they don't have to go through the same thing as my friends husband.

Anyway, take it easy and keep us posted on your progress.
