Update on Vagabond

[DEATH_INC.]

Went up to see him tonight after work,He's lookin ok.He's up and mobile now(with the help of crutches).We escorted him outside for a smoke,the furthest he's gone so far.They removed a splinter of bone from his back and have pinned the bone above and below T12 to it so it will fuse together.
He should be out later this week.

[Joni]

Thanks so much for that death! I have been wondering how my fellow South African was doing. I am glad he will soon be out.

[Zapf]

tkns for the update death, glad to hear he is recovering.

[Bob]

As a fellow 'fused' person (I've got vertebrae L4 and L5 fused following being hit by a car driver), he has my sympathy!

Please tell him to listen to the physios, do all that they tell him and he'll be surprised how quickly he can recover. I think I was back on the bike in under six weeks following the operation - I was definitely back in work under a month.

[jazbug5]

Back on the bike, yes, all well and good. But back to work? Give the guy a break- let him string it out a bit..!
Good to hear he's on the mend.

[Two Smoker]

Good to hear that he is ok :yes: im looking forward to seeing him on a ride again :niceone:

[toads]

this is good news indeed, I agree with Jaz, he should have a suitable time to recover before heading back to work,

[Blakamin]

Glad to hear he's doing better.... one for you VB :apint:

[StoneChucker]

Send my South African best wishes to VB will ya...
Get well soon

c'mon bones heal, but hows the bike?????

[Mr Skid]

Bloody good to see ya back on here VB! :niceone:

Don't bother trying to read all the unread posts. Basically, everyone else has thrown their bikes down the road, and those that haven't have got speeding tickets.

There is a suspicion that someone has angered the biker gods, and we are currently looking for a virgin sacrifice to appease them.

[Joni]

Welcome back my friend... :2thumbsup
You had us worried for a while there...

I'd be seeing a doc about your anatomy...(arse connected to rear of rib cage)(T12?)
or buying an arse-protector instead of a back protector when you ride next :wacko:
