Damn that looks like a proper cut. Well done - you need evidence when they ask you to drop your rods at the airport after sounding the metal detector  :biggrin:

Heal quick  :thumleft:

Seeing as you have so much time on your hands - let's fit that hot exhaust. I'll get it to you when you are ready  :mwink:

Now that sounds like a plan. Has yours been ceramic coated and installed yet?
What my titanium insert in my arm or my exhaust?  :biggrin:

Yah! The insert is staying just where it is! Have you put the titanium exhaust header back yet.

Nah, that one will be yours, I reckon  :biggrin:

Wow WR, thats an awesome gift, thank you!!!

Strongs there Moondog.  All these other comentators are woeseys.  This lot always looks worse than it really is. (suck an extra few of those lekker big pain pills) In a day or two, the swelling will go down, and in a week those stiches will start itching (means it getting better and healthier)  The worst is the waiting TIME, for the bones to grow inside.  Thats what is not nice.

Get comfortable with lekker books etc. 

Get well "slowly" boet  :thumleft: ;D

Tweets, you are right - the most frustrating part is the wait - progress is so S L O W.
The house party is in Helderkruin - as soon as I am back on my hind legs again - but feel free to pop around any time - the bar is stocked ;)

Get well soon Moondog.

I respect the fact that you rode straight to the hospital. I don't even want to know how you got off your bike without putting pressure on your broken leg.

Hope you are back in full force in no time. Nik-Nak paddy whack, give a Wild Dog a bone!

So what is the prognosis - how long will it be before you can get out there again?

I am officially booked off for 6 weeks, but should be able to go back to work in 2 weeks. I should also be able to drive or ride tar in 4 - 6 weeks. In 3 months the leg should operate 100 percent normally and be up to full strength in 6 months. They can remove the meccano in 12 to 18 months z- seems that is my call depending on if it bothers me. For now he is happy with the progress, but I am still finding it damn painful and am frustrated that getting around is such a PITA.

I will however not push it - I want this thing to heal properly.
