Almost out of my cast

**KiwiGeek** · 1st December 2014, 21:28

I hope to be out of the cast I got on my fractured right ankle. I was riding to work and a car cut across my path. I hit it and went over. I landed on my right foot, causing a spiral fracture, just above the ankle.

I shoulxd be out of this next week and into a moon boot. Once I am out of that I will start looking at a replacement bike as the SR250 is probably a write off.

Judging by the crash sounded, you'd be right about the bike being a write off. Spiral fracture must hurt like a bitch! Did they have to operate?

All the best with looking for a replacement. Remember your ankle will be sore and have not a lot of movement/strength to hold a bike up, so either be super confident in always getting the left leg down, or have a break from bikes til your ankle feels good again.

Great that you're keen to get back riding mate. I guess you'll know when you're physically up to it. Definitely no point riding though if you're preoccupied with pain and paying less attention to the road.

I got my moonboot on Dec 8 and should be out of it on Jan 19. I can move around OK out of it at home.

Started a back to work program the week and a half before Christmas doing four hours a day and six hours the week of Jan 12 then back to the full 8 hours.

Once I am out of the boot I will be lookinmg for a bike. Might have access to one from one of the guys at work but I will have to check with him when I get back to work.
