although my "wee accident" was only at around 70-80kms I too am sooo glad I was wearing all my gear- and again the hospital staff said my minor (although very painful) injuries were due to me wearing my leather gear. ATGATT it is worth it

Spinal swelling is damn scary ay, I had a headon many years ago that left me lying in the street with no feeling below the neck...when they put the neck & back brace on -you just know your in trouble...even the ambo crew was quiet....scariest 2 days of my life!.

All the best for a speedy recovery

Thanks for the best wishes
I have been astounded and hugely appreciative of the support and help I have had from both bikers on this site and elsewhere in the biking community

.
I am on the mend but have to have an operation to deal with a damaged disc at C3-C4 caused by my crash. Apparently it is still putting pressure on my spinal cord which is causing a delay in my recovery.
It's a bugger because I will end up missing all the good riding weather.

But at least you are only laid up for one summer (hopefully)...
